Re: where would you put your pumkin?
If it had been me I'd have phoned up on the day and insisted they come back for it. I'm a right little trouble maker when it comes to rubbish.

Re: where would you put your pumkin?
Don't you have a compost bin? The pumpkins will make excellent compost.
Our local green bin policy is that "kitchen waste", i.e. veg. peelings etc. don't go in. The green bin is for hedge trimmings, grass cuttings, weeds; the rest goes in the compost. My compost bin is my old dustbin, with a few holes cut in it. Left to rot down with the addition of the "secret ingredient" it makes lovely compost within 12 months. The secret ingredient, if you really want to know, is human urine (anybody's will do). I used my own compost when I laid a new lawn last year and it took off like a rocket.
Move the pumpkins to a compost bin, or a heap if you don't have a bin, and keep the Council and your garden happy.

Re: where would you put your pumkin?
I think HBC would probably think it shouldn't be put in the green bin as well, according to this information from their site.
Recycling in Hyndburn - Your questions answered
You could always stick a few blooms in it and call it floral art before you bin it.

Re: where would you put your pumkin?
Quote:
Use the blue sack for plastic bottles only, i.e. milk, shampoo, pop, washing-up plastic bottles etc and metal cans/tins and foil. Do not put any domestic refuse, nappies, or plastic toys into the sack as these can not be recycled. Take care when presenting your sack for collection to prevent problems of spillage. Wherever possible, wedge the sack between other containers.
Use the blue box for glass jars and bottles only. Rinse debris from cans and glass containers before putting them in the box. Wash out your box occasionally as this will help keep it clean

There's a bit of ambiguity there about the cans.

Re: where would you put your pumkin?
HBC's site does tell you what happens to all the recycled rubbish, but not what happens to the stuff in the green bins.
What do they make with it?
Free Trade tea?

Re: where would you put your pumkin?
All the garden waste we don't offically have goes in a skip at the tip. Maybe we can ask them next time?

Re: where would you put your pumkin?
I personally think it would all go to compost or maybe landfill as it will all rot down but same here we havent actually been told what happens to green waste .
our 4 compost bins are full to brim and we really dont need any more of them
