Did you know pumpkins past their prime can be composted with your leaf and yard waste? Join us at our family-friendly event where you can safely smash and compost your pumpkin after Halloween. Learn more about how you can compost at home, see the composting process in action, and eat cider donuts at the Mattapan Ecovation Center!

Dilapidated sadface pumpkins welcomed and highly encouraged. 

If you can't make the event, you can put your pumpkin out with your leaf and yard waste. Check your schedule through the City's Trash Day app. Please remove all decorations from the pumpkin (paint is OK!) and place it with leaves in a large paper bag or barrel labeled YARD WASTE. Pumpkins placed curbside on days without leaf and yard waste collection will be picked up and trashed.

This event is a collaboration between the City's Departments of Public Works and Environment, the Mattapan Ecovation Center and City Soil, and the Boston Nature Center.

During this event, you'll learn about different bike-share membership options. You'll also hear from other residents on how they use Hubway for quick trips to destinations all over the City. If you have basic bike riding skills, but need to build your confidence riding on the street, this clinic is just right for you. We will start out on low-stress streets and paths, so you can get comfortable on the bike and build your skills.

Hubway bikes and helmets are provided at no cost for all participants. If you cannot yet ride independently in a parking lot, please do not register for this event. 

Boston Bikes invites any youth or adults (16 years or older) to participate in our Boston by Hubway rides. Registration is required.
