Will County and Homewood Disposal have partnered to offer the first Will County collection of pumpkins for recycling. WJOL's morning crew will be on-site until 9am encouraging great pitches! Staff from the County will be joined by the Farm Bureau and Unv of IL Ext office to measure distance and offer prizes! Don't trash your Jack-O-Lantern, bring it in for recycling!
Will County has partnered with NuWay/Homewood Disposal and teamed up with WJOL AM1340 radio, the Farm Bureau, the Unv of IL Extension Office to offer residents a chance to give their Jack-O-Lanterns a second life through composting! Everyone is invited to bring their carved pumpkins to the County Building parking lot on Friday, Nov. 7 (a week after Halloween) from 6am to Noon!
Prizes will be given to all participants - coloring books for all children, and special treats for those pitching their pumpkin 5 feet, 10 feet and over 15 feet! Grand prizes for the furthest pitch or roll are being donated by Heroes West of Joliet!
Naked Pumpkins Only! No candles, bags or boxes!
Limit of five pumpkins per person
This is a chance for a decorative natural item to be recycled, as all the pumpkins collected will be taken to a site to be mixed and composted. Eventually they will become a highly nutritious soil supplement, feeding future crops, gardens - or perhaps a new pumpkin patch! Be part of the fun and meet WJOL's morning crew from 6am-9am during the live broadcast!
