SUN PRAIRIE, Wis. – Our media partners are invited to join us on Saturday, November 7 from Noon to 2 p.m. at the Sun Prairie Community Gardens (1320-1350 Linnerud Drive) for our annual Pumpkin Smash Event.

The City of Sun Prairie is committed to providing waste diversion opportunities through composting. And this is just one fun, seasonal way to engage in sustainable practices.

This free event invites community members of all ages to bring their leftover jack-o-lanterns, gourds, squash, and pumpkins to participate in a variety of smashing games. Those who do not wish to participate in smashing games are still welcome to drop off pumpkins at this event for composting.

Don’t trash it, smash it! Learn more by visiting: https://cityofsunprairie.com/1919/PumpkinComposting.
