Conservation Nebraska and Smart Soil wraps up annual Pumpkin Composting Collection
GRAND ISLAND, Neb. (KSNB) – The Conservation Nebraska and Smart Soil closed out Sunday with an annual event that’s designed to help the community properly dispose leftover holiday and pumpkin carving by turning it into compost.
According to Conversation Nebraska and Smart Soil, more than 1 billion pumpkins are thrown away and end up in U.S. landfills. The organization said when organic waste decomposes in the landfill, it starts to release methane – a greenhouse gas that has warming effects 20 times stronger than carbon dioxide.
There were multiple participating partners across the state, including Grand Island’s Super Saver. Dan Morse, assistant store director for Super Saver said they wanted to join the cause to help people properly dispose pumpkins.
”Sounds like our landfills are taking a hit after every holiday season,” said Morse. “Since we do sell a lot of the pumpkins and decorative boards and stuff, its good to be a partner and taking them out of there.“
He added, this is something that can take the pressure off the landfills and that’s what Super Saver represents – helping out the community anywhere they can.
