Springfield’s annual pumpkin disposal effort has turned out to be a smashing success.
The city says more than 2,000 pounds of pumpkins were smashed during last weekend’s post-Halloween event downtown. The pumpkin debris is being turned into compost.
If you still have leftover pumpkins to dispose of, the city says you can put them in your yard waste bag, but they ask that you smash or break apart the pumpkin first.
