Take advantage of the City of New Albany’s pumpkin and gourd composting bin at Taylor Farm Park (open from dawn to dusk) starting October 31 through December 8 as part of our ongoing commitment to sustainability. Residents should use the Dublin-Granville road to enter Taylor Farm Park to access the pumpkin and gourd composting bin. Painted pumpkins and gourds can be composted, but any candles or other non-compostable items need to be discarded in your trash at home prior to dropping off the pumpkin-related items.

Please note that pumpkins and gourds cannot be included with your yard waste pick-up as these items do not decompose like grass clippings or leaves. Residents should also avoid placing their pumpkins and gourds (not used for cooking) in our normal compost drop-off bins that are serviced by GoZERO.
