Great Pumpkin Rescue

Several places in Oxford County are ready and willing to take your pumpkins and put them to good use.

The City of Woodstock has got you covered when it comes to getting rid of your pumpkins this year.

The Woodstock Environmental Advisory Committee is hosting the Great Pumpkin Rescue at the City of Woodstock Enviro Depot on James Street. Instead of throwing out or composting your pumpkins, you can donate them to local farmers to use as feed for livestock. Any local farmers looking for some pumpkins can email the advisory committee at woodstockweac@gmail.com. 

The Pumpkin rescue is only accepting unpainted and uncarved pumpkins and squash as donations. Collection will be open Wednesday November 3 – Friday November 5, from 10 am to 6 pm and Saturday November 6, from 7:30 am to 3pm.

Meanwhile, if you don't live in Woodstock, there are plenty of places to properly dispose of your pumpkins this year. The Whisper Gardiner has made it easy for everyone to donate their pumpkins. It is not a good idea to leave your pumpkins in natural areas to feed wildlife. It is much safer to donate them to any of the following locations in Oxford County:
