(Iowa City, IA) -- Iowa City is reminding residents to compost their jack-o-lanterns now that Halloween is over, not put them in the trash.
The city's yard and food waste program does accept pumpkins as long as candles and lights have been removed and they're placed in the organics cart or yard waste bag and set on the curb. You can also take your pumpkins for free to the Iowa City Landfill and Recycling Center located at 3900 Hebl Avenue SW.
