All area residents are invited to drop off their jack-o-lanterns at this one day only composting collection. We're also collecting gourds, corn stalks and straw bales to keep them out of the landfill. Natural materials only please! That means no googly eyes, yarn, stickers, candles, etc. There is no fee to participate.
