Shor Park is one of three Clermont County sites accepting Halloween pumpkins and gourds for composting throughout November.

Stagge-Marr Park and Ten Mile Creek Nature Preserve round out the drop-off locations, the county posted on X on Nov. 7. The program accepts pumpkins and gourds "all November long," according to the post. When disposing your pumpkins, the county says to remove candles, and do not drop off pumpkins that have been painted or drawn on

Composting the pumpkins helps reduce waste and improve soil quality, the county said.
