What to do with your pumpkin after Halloween

What's the best way to dispose of your jack-o'-lanterns after Halloween?
We've put together a list of uses for your pumpkins:
- Pumpkins are high in nitrogen so you can easily add your leftover pumpkins to your compost/garden. Be sure to remove any access decor including candle wax, paint or glitter. If you cut up your pumpkin into smaller pieces it will better absorb into the ground after you bury it. If your pumpkin has any mold, don't cut that off, it will help with the composting process
- Donate them to your local community garden or farms
- Your pumpkin can be used as a meal for a host of animals at your local farm, zoo or animal sanctuary.
- Pumpkin seeds are a tasty treat for birds, especially when mixed with other seeds including sunflower seeds
