Still hanging onto those decorative pumpkins or tired jack-o'-lanterns?

ReWild, East Hampton Compost, and the Town of East Hampton want them and will be collecting them at three locations on Saturday. They can be taken to Share the Harvest Farm on Long Lane in East Hampton from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. Amber Waves Farm in Amagansett will accept them on Saturday from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m., and in Montauk pumpkins can be deposited in a blue truck parked at the Beach Plum Resort on from noon to 3 p.m.

They will be used to create compost.
