A better way to get rid of your Halloween pumpkins

Halloween is over, which means you've probably got some pumpkins that need to go.

Yes, but: Don't dump them in the trash!

• Instead, donate them to the residents of Oinking Acres — a rescue for pigs and other farm animals in Brownsburg.

Why it matters: Since 2017, the rescue has taken in abused, neglected and unwanted potbellied pigs and other farm animals.

• Over 500 pigs have been rescued and many have been placed in adoptive homes.

How it works: Pumpkins can be dropped off anytime.

• Oinking Acres has a crate at the end of their drive labeled "pumpkin donations."

What they're saying: "They absolutely love pumpkins," according to the rescue.

Of note: No moldy, painted or bleached pumpkins, please!

Plus: If you'd rather have a pig of your own to feed pumpkins to, Oinking Acres has dozens up for adoption.
