BROOKLINE, MA — Halloween decorations are coming down, but Brookline residents have one more chance to put those pumpkins to good use!
The town's Department of Public Works will host its fourth annual Go Green After Halloween event Thursday, Nov. 5, from 1:30 to 6:30 p.m. in the West Centre Street parking lot near Coolidge Corner.
Residents can bring their leftover pumpkins, jack-o'-lanterns and gourds to toss into a compost collection truck. The event also includes a costume drive encouraging families to donate gently used Halloween outfits for reuse next year.
