Don’t trash those pumpkins!

More than 1 billion pounds of pumpkins go to U.S. landfills each year—creating powerful greenhouse gasses that accelerate climate change. Help reduce that number by bringing your pumpkins to one of our FREE collection sites instead of tossing them in the trash.

Saturday, Oct. 24, is National Prescription Drug Take Back Day, a reminder to safely dispose of unused or expired medications.

The City of Columbus is hosting RREACT Community Safety Day, where residents can access free drug take-back and disposal services from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. at 3639 Parsons Ave. The event will also feature health screenings, vaccinations, family-friendly activities and more.

Properly disposing of medications helps prevent misuse and keeps harmful substances out of our waterways.
