7 million Halloween costumes are thrown away in the UK every year!
Say boo to waste and bring old costumes back to life by swapping, upcycling or buying a second-hand costume.

🎃Don’t let your pumpkin turn into a horror show!
Carved pumpkins are considered kitchen waste, so please don’t feed it to livestock or put it into your garden waste bin as our refuse crews will be unable to empty it.
