According to Hubbub millions of pumpkins still go to waste each Halloween.
Pumpkins are meant to be eaten and far too often the scary truth is they end up in the food waste bin... or worse left out on the doorstep to rot.
Did you know that carving pumpkins are edible? Better still, why not decorate instead of carve to make it last for longer! Here's some no-carve inspiration courtesy of Hububb.
Everything but the stalk can be eaten. Find out more about how to eat your pumpkin, or visit Love Food Hate Waste for plenty of fang-tastic pumpkin recipes.
And if your pumpkin has to go – make sure you recycle the remains so that they're given a second life, either via your food waste recycling or on a compost heap. Recycled food waste is turned into fertilizer for our farms and electricity, feeding the national grid.
