Pumpkin season is winding down! If you’re wondering what to do with your leftover pumpkins, bring them to Dakota Community Centre for composting.

We’re partnering with Compost Winnipeg again this year to help keep pumpkins out of the landfill. Residents can drop off their pumpkins at a designated collection bin at Dakota, where Compost Winnipeg will collect them for composting.

Where to Drop Off

Dakota Community Centre
1188 Dakota Street, Winnipeg

The pumpkin collection bin is located on Dakota’s grounds. You can find its exact location using the link below:

Collection Schedule

Compost Winnipeg is scheduled to collect pumpkins from Dakota on the following dates:

First Collection: Thursday, November 5 or Friday, November 6 (to be confirmed)
Second Collection: Tuesday, November 10
Third Collection: Monday, November 16
Fourth Collection: Friday, November 20

Before You Drop Off

Please remove any candles, wax, paint, plastic, or other decorations before placing your pumpkins in the bin. Only pumpkins free of these materials should be dropped off.

Instead of sending your pumpkins to the landfill, give them a chance to become compost that can help nourish the soil.

Thanks for helping us reduce waste in our community!
