Roto-Rooter.com Some good advice on disposing of pumpkin waste.
Millions of pounds of pulp is scraped from pumpkins
throughout the Halloween season, resulting in yummy pies, creative
jack-o'-lanterns and... plumbing nightmares.
Every year, plumbers get lots of calls to repair garbage
disposers and kitchen sink drains that have been clogged with slimy, stringy
pumpkin pulp and seeds.
Follow these tips to guard against Halloween drain
disasters...
Never put pumpkin pulp or seeds down the toilet, sink drain or in the
garbage disposer. It's too stingy and sticky and will harden creating blockage
in your drains.
Carve pumpkins on a thick bed of newspaper. Wrap up pumpkin-related
materials and throw away in a garbage can or compost pile.
Separate the seeds, then roast for a tasty treat. Or air-dry and
plant in late next summer to grow next year's Halloween pumpkins.
