On Dec. 1, Cowboy Compost set up five locations around Fort Worth to collect pumpkins from residents. Thanks to the city's Park and Recreation Department, we had collection points at two recreation centers, two parks as well as SiNaCa Studios on Magnolia Avenue. Altogether, we collected about 11,600 pounds of pumpkins or almost six tons!
