Don't let your pumpkin go to waste
 With almost 10 million pumpkins sold in the UK every year for carving during the scariest season, it would be a frightening waste not to recycle what you don't eat.
Love Food Hate Waste has some lovely pumpkin recipes you might like to try, including one for the seeds - take a look here.
And here are a couple of options for what to do with what you don't eat:
- You can place them in your food waste caddy. Veolia knows that some of the larger pumpkins will take up a lot of room in the outdoor caddies, so residents can use their 7ltr kitchen caddy as extra storage and present at the kerbside with their larger caddy and other containers - this additional service will run from Monday 4 to Friday 8 November.
- You can help wildlife. A 'What to do with pumpkins' article on the Woodland Trust website has some great suggestions.
Many bin service requests (e.g. reporting a missed collection, ordering extra containers) can be done more quickly online.
You can also sign up to the 'My Telford' service to check your collection days, track the progress of requests, see local services and access information. Register here.
