In collaboration with Iona, a 4-H member promoting sustainable solutions, Squamish 4-H is hosting a pumpkin disposal depot. Bring your pumpkins and jack-o'-lanterns and drop them into the truck bed to be taken to local farms for composting.
If you can’t attend, they encourage composting your pumpkins at home to reduce landfill waste and repurpose them for environmental good!
Fireworks Restrictions
Don’t forget—personal fireworks are prohibited in Squamish without a permit, and the Squamish Nation enforces a complete ban on fireworks on their lands. This policy ensures community safety and helps protect local wildlife during the dry fall season. Read more.
No matter how you choose to celebrate, Squamish offers plenty of ways to get into the Halloween spirit—so grab your costumes, mark your calendars, and get ready for a spooky season to remember!
