Have a Green Halloween!

Having a Halloween party? Going in fancy dress?

Follow our top tips for reducing waste this Halloween; it could save you money too!

Choose low packaged goods

Save more by making your own cakes, treats and pumpkin pie

You could even try making your own costume using things you find around the house or in charity shops.

Save your costume for next year or donate it to a local charity shop

If you don’t want to make your own costume, why not hire one instead of buying new?

Don’t forget to put rechargeable batteries in your torch and camera

Using reusable plates, cups and cutlery rather than disposables will reduce your party waste considerably

Save your pumpkin seeds to plant, and next year you could be carving your own home grown pumpkin!

Don’t forget to recycle anything you can in your kerbside box or your local mini-recycling site.

The seeds, flesh, and shell (in small pieces) of your scary pumpkin can be added directly to your compost bin
So can the cores from your apple bobbing exploits!

If you don’t have a compost bin at home put your pumpkin, apples and any other organic waste in your green organics bucket.
