Pumpkin Smash [Griffith Park]

  • Regional Compost Hub: Griffith Park (LA Compost) Griffith Park Dr, NW side of Merry Go Round Lot Two Los Angeles, CA, 90027 United States (map)

Join us for our Annual Pumpkin Smash on Sunday, November 11th, from 2 PM – 4 PM at Griffith Park, and help turn your pumpkin back into nutrient-rich soil. Composting your pumpkin nourishes the Earth, reduces waste, and supports a healthier environment.

What to Expect:

  • Meet our staff and learn about the incredible work happening at Griffith Park, where thousands of pounds of food scraps are transformed into nutrient-rich compost each week.

  • Then, it’s time to smash those pumpkins and add them to the compost pile!

  • Stick around to volunteer (no experience needed) or explore the hub and the beautiful Griffith Park.

Important:

Please ensure your pumpkins are free of paint, glitter, or any non-organic materials before composting.
