Don’t stash those pumpkins in the landfill—bring them to the Pumpkin Smash!

Join Wild Aware and ESA for a fun community fundraiser where you can smash your own pumpkins, play pumpkin games for all ages, and help keep pumpkins out of the waste stream.

Smashing tools are provided, or simply drop off your pumpkins and let us do the smashing. Pumpkins will be properly composted so they don’t end up in landfills—or become an unnatural food source that can attract and habituate wildlife to people.

Suggested donation: $5 for small pumpkins • $10 for large pumpkins • $30 for 5+ pumpkins

Come smash some pumpkins, meet the ESA bear and Wild Aware elk, and support two local organizations working to create a safer coexistence between people and wildlife!
