Don't trash it, smash it!

That headline is the title of an upcoming City of Troy pumpkin recycling project.

The free family-centric event is scheduled for Knickerbacker Park at 103rd Street and 8th Avenue from Wednesday through Friday, November 5-7. 

The idea is that rather than cluttering up your garbage cans with post-Halloween pumpkins, the project allows residents to bring them to the park where "we will smash, smush, and recycle them. All smashing supplies will be provided." Plus," free face painting for kids!"

(If that's not convenient, you can drop off your pumpkins at the Department of Public Works (DPW) Garage at 40 Orr Street from 10 a.m. to noon on Saturday, November 8.)
