Pumpkin waste from local Toronto farmer's market.

On October 30th, 2017 a large amount of pumpkin waste was found on the sidewalk out front of The Junction Farmer's Market.
Five garbage bags full of seeds, pulp and cut pumpkins were found. One of these bags had about 4 pumpkins in it.

Foodbanks are in need of nutritious food; this food is being thrown into the garbage.

Quoted: "Celebrate that Toronto makes pumpkin compost!"
There are twice as many Pumpkin Parades than there are Foodbanks in Toronto.

5th Annual Wychwood Barns Park Pumpkin Parade:
"come by at 9 pm to help toss the pumpkins into the city's trash bins. We had about 300 pumpkins last year - let's break that record!"

Considering the number of Pumpkin Parades, there must be some way they can contribute and lend a hand to our city's Foodbanks.

"There were 80 pumpkins here the last two years, and organizers are hoping to break a hundred this year. Make sure to stay for the pumpkin toss!"
