Dispose of Halloween Pumpkins Properly
By Jennifer Wilkerson,
7 days agoThere are many beneficial ways to dispose of pumpkins after Halloween. Iowa State University Extension and Outreach shares some tips for proper disposal. According to ISU, a jack-o’-lantern typically remains attractive for only a few days to a week after carving, depending on weather conditions. Warm temperatures speed decay and mold development. Uncarved pumpkins last much longer. When mature fruits are kept dry and protected from freezing temperatures, they may remain in good condition for several weeks or even months. Many pumpkins and gourds used for fall decorating in October can remain attractive through Thanksgiving.
