Howard County's Bureau of Environmental Services holds its third annual Pumpkin Palooza in the Miller Branch Library area in Ellicott City. Families can bring their old pumpkins and jack-o'-lanterns to be composted at Alpha Ridge Landfill, and stay for games, composting demonstrations and food trucks. Carved, uncarved and painted pumpkins are accepted (water-based paints preferred), but all decorations — candles, lights, plastic bags and so on — must be removed first. It is a practical, kid-friendly way to learn what happens to food waste and see composting in action. Runs Saturday, November 21, from 11 am to 2 pm.
