The City of Elgin will be holding the annual Pumpkin Smash event on Saturday, November 6th, 2021 from 9am-noon. The event will take place at two locations this year: Hawthorne Hills Nature Center, and the southwest corner of N Grove Avenue and Kimball Street.
Don't let your waste haunt you! Bring your pumpkins so they can be composted instead of landfilled.
In 2020, we collected 6 TONS of pumpkins! Can we beat this number? Bring your pumpkins to either location to help us 'smash' this goal!
