PUMPKIN COMPOSTING
Embrace sustainability this fall in Dublin! Our 24/7 Pumpkin Composting Drop-off is back Oct. 20 to Dec. 12! We encourage residents and their families to help reduce landfill waste by visiting the Dublin Service Center (6555 Shier Rings Road) to toss those mushy gourds. Make it a trip with the kids using the basketball hoop and smash board! In 2024, you helped divert 76,760 pounds of pumpkins and other gourds from the landfill. Help us increase that number! Please note that pumpkins cannot be included with your yard waste pick-up as they do not decompose like grass clippings or leaves and are not accepted by yard waste processing facilities. For more information, visit DublinOhioUSA.gov/city-services/pumpkin-composting .
Did you know that feeding deer and other wildlife can lead to larger gatherings of animals in residential areas? This interferes with their natural feeding habits and can have dangerous consequences, such as aggressive encounters and increased vehicle vs. animal crashes. The City of Dublin recognizes the growing deer population in Ohio. In response, Dublin City Council passed an Outdoor Feeding Ordinance. This ordinance addresses current and future concerns around the increase in wild animal populations. Help us co-exist with our wildlife safely by disposing of pumpkins and other fall decorations properly. Visit DublinOhioUSA.gov/recreation-services/parks/nature-education for more information on the Outdoor Feeding Ordinance. DON’T FEED WILDLIFE!
