Time once again to #compost those #pumpkins
Posted on November 2, 2025 by Charles Kuffner
"You know what to do.
The City of #HoustonTx Solid Waste Management Department, in partnership with Council Member #SallieAlcorn, is excited to announce the return of the 5th Annual #PumpkinCompostDropOff Program.
Don’t toss your pumpkins in the trash, compost them instead! From October 25 through November 29, Houston residents can drop off their used or unused pumpkins at two City of Houston facilities. All collected pumpkins will be transformed into nutrient-rich compost to help grow a greener Houston.
Please remove any candles, stickers, paint, or other non-pumpkin decorations before dropping off your pumpkins.
Last year’s event was a smashing success, diverting more than 25,260 pounds of pumpkins from Houston’s landfills, making it the most successful year yet. The city hopes to break that record in 2025 and divert even more #compostable material from the landfill.
'We’re proud to see Houstonians embracing composting and taking action to reduce waste,' said Director Larius Hassen, Director of Solid Waste Management 'It’s amazing to see how something as simple as a leftover pumpkin can help grow a more sustainable Houston'
'Pumpkins are everywhere, and I love seeing them. They get me excited for Halloween and Thanksgiving. And while pumpkin season is upon us, we know it won’t last forever. When your once-glorious pumpkin is ready to be retired, don’t throw it in the trash. Take advantage of the city’s pumpkin composting initiative. Turn your pumpkin into glorious compost to be used in city parks and green spaces,' said Council Member Sallie Alcorn.
Join us in turning holiday leftovers into something good for the earth. Together, we can make Houston cleaner, greener, and more sustainable, one pumpkin at a time.
Drop-off Locations:
City of Houston Reuse Warehouse
9003 N Main St, Houston, TX 77022
October 25th – November 29th
8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.Westpark Recycling Center
5900 Westpark, Houston, TX 77339
October 25th – November 29th
8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.Same as last year, more or less. You may find other options – as noted before, there’s a house in my neighborhood that collects them as feed for livestock – and that’s fine, pick what works best for you. Just don’t throw ’em in the trash, there’s no need for that."

#Banana yields fruit only once, afterwards the whole tree has to be discarded. It creates a lot of waste without #upcycling e.g. into #BananaFibre, one of the most absorbent #fibres available.
Current innovations aim to use this fibre for #textile (jeans), but it could be used for so much more, e.g. producing #biodegradable and #compostable #SanitaryPads.
An interview with Kristin Kagetsu, co-founder of Saathi, pioneering this #sustainable #PlasticFree product.(15 min)

There are no electricity bills but also nobody picks up the rubbish. So why are off-the-grid homes growing in popularity? #offgrid #OffGridLiving #offgridlife

Researchers create #plastic alternative that's #compostable in home and industrial settings
Story by Isabelle Butera, August 7, 2023
"The team worked with #polylactic acid, or #PLA, which has been used in packaging for over a decade. Instead of #petroleum (like typical plastic), it uses plant sugars and breaks down into water, carbon dioxide and lactic acid.
"But PLA can only break down in the heat of industrial #composters, not home composters. Even in industrial composters, PLA doesn't always break down quickly or completely.
"It can take as much as 20 days before PLA starts to be digested by microbes in an industrial compost setting, researchers said.
"To accelerate this process, the team incorporated what's called a 'thermoplastic starch' into PLA. This carbon-based starch helps the microbes in compost more easily break down the bioplastic.
"Adding the thermoplastic starch will not compromise the quality of PLA, such as the strength, clarity and other desirable features, researchers said in the release.
"Additionally, the bioplastic can be composted alongside food scraps. That means you wouldn't have to rinse food out of takeaway containers or coffee out of a disposable cup before throwing it out."

The bags say "Compostable" and are labelled with all manner accreditations, but seriously, we just need to know — how many years?
