CHUCK IT FOR A CAUSE!
BEFORE YOU POP THAT PUMPKIN IN THE TRASH, CONSIDER RECYCLING AND GIVE THE GOOD STUFF TO LOCAL LIVESTOCK
Locations throughout the valley, including the newest location in Summerlin at JW Marriott, will be open for pumpkin recycling starting Monday
WHAT:
When the jack-o-lantern gets saggy skin, simply stop at one of these locations and pop it in a bin! Pumpkin recycling takes over the city from Oct. 26 through Nov. 6.
Las Vegas Livestock will provide collection bins for the public to recycle their pumpkins free of charge. These tasty treats will be fed to pigs and chickens being raised near Apex, North of the Las Vegas Valley.
Simply visit a location and place the pumpkin in the designated container. Social Distancing practices will be in place in order to have a quick, safe drop off!
