Millions of Halloween pumpkins end up in the trash annually ( Credit: Unsplash/ CC0/ Freerangestock.com)

Every fall, Americans buy tens of millions of decorative pumpkins. Some are carved into spooky jack-o'-lanterns, while others are used simply for display. Unfortunately, the interest in these colorful gourds fades soon after Halloween. Experts estimate that over one billion pounds of pumpkins — more than 80 percent of the 1.3 billion pounds purchased annually — end up in landfills.

                  I love carving pumpkins normally I'll take out the guts and put them off to the side then I carve the pumpkin and when I'm done I put all the guts and cut out pieces in a five gallon bucket with so leaves and other composting stuff like banana peels and apple cores
