What to do with your old Halloween pumpkins? Please don't dump them in the woods, as this is littering. Also, pumpkins are not a natural food source for animals and can damage sensitive soil. Instead, dump your pumpkin in your food waste or compost heap, or cook a dish with it. @ksbscotland and @woodlandtrustscotland have great tips on how to use and dispose of your old pumpkin.
