Instead of letting jack-o-lanterns, seeds, and pumpkin pulp fill landfills, Houston is encouraging composting with extended hours and additional locations.
From Nov. 1 through Dec. 6, drop-off sites include:
- City of Houston Reuse Warehouse – 9003 N. Main St., open Tuesday–Friday, 9 a.m.–4 p.m., and every 2nd and 4th Saturday from 8:30 a.m.–4:30 p.m.
- Westpark Recycling Center – 5900 Westpark, open Monday–Saturday, 8 a.m.–5 p.m.
