Green YourHalloween!

Help kids to make their own crafty trick-or-treat bags using paper bags instead of store-bought plastic bags or plastic pumpkins. Remember

to put paper scraps in your recycling bin.

Put removable decorations on pillow cases for an extra sturdy candy sack.

Create costumes from items you already own and avoid purchasing unnecessary single-use plastic items. Find new-to-you ensembles and

donate your old ones at one of GrowNYC's Halloween Costume Swaps listed at www.GrowNYC.org/recycle.

When you're finished showing off your costume, recycle it! Use your building's textile bin if you have one or find a weekly Greenmarket drop-off

or one-day collection at www.GrowNYC.org/clothing.

Compost your jack-o-lantern! Use your home compost bin, find a Greenmarket kitchen scrap collection near you at

www.GrowNYC.org/compost or see if community groups and gardens near you compost at www.NYC.gov/wasteless/compost.
