Heres Where You Can Compost Your Pumpkins In Chicago

Chicagoans can compost their pumpkins at Pumpkin Smash events this Saturday, helping to cut down on landfill waste and greenhouse gas emissions. Recycle By City urges participants to remove all decorations before bringing their pumpkins to locations including Guild Row and Lake View High School. The initiative promotes eco-friendly waste disposal and will run throughout the day at various times. In a separate issue, a proposed residential project on West Kinzie Street has drawn criticism from local residents over insufficient parking. The developers plan only 14 parking spaces, raising alarms about increased congestion in the area.

Neighbors are advocating for more parking options to accommodate residents and guests, pushing for underground or additional levels, although developers claim these options are financially unfeasible. The community is pressing for a delay in the vote on the development to address these concerns. LG Development is expected to return for further discussions on December 1.
