Almost every holiday is a happy one, and Halloween is no different. Every year, I see my neighbours put on great decorations and awesome costumes, having the time of their lives during the spooky season.

I myself love seeing the best and most creative costumes not just from my own neighbours but also others online.

Now, on to Halloween recycling!

Effective Halloween recycling

Whether we like it or not, all holidays produce significant amounts of waste. Halloween is no different.

How can we ensure effective Halloween recycling so we reduce our environmental impact? Here are a few tips we have for you below.

Reuse your Halloween decorations

Unfortunately, Halloween recycling does not apply to most decorations. Items such as fake fall leaves, plastic-made pumpkins, cobwebs, wreaths, yard signs, string lights, figures and more are not recyclable.

However, for almost all of those, you can easily keep them in pristine condition and reuse them for next year’s Halloween! Avoid buying new decorations to use every Halloween and reuse what you can. The environment will thank you for that.

Speaking of the environment, why not make environmentally friendly decorations, instead?

Halloween recycling: some other recycled crafts ideas

We have more Halloween recycling ideas for you!

If you have any waste cluttered at home, why not craft Halloween decorations instead of throwing them in the rubbish?

For example, did you know that you can create a Halloween spooky skeleton with the use of recycled milk jugs? Another example: you can use glass light covers to create your own Halloween ghost lights!

There are plenty of ideas on the internet, so have a look for yourself if you want more ideas! Ideas such as creating a spider web using doilies and embroidery hoops and the head of Frankenstein’s monster using kid’s milk jugs are just some of the best ideas we’ve seen!

What about Halloween costumes?

Halloween costumes, much like the decorations mentioned above, are near impossible to recycle. Even if you can’t place them in the recycling bin, you can, however, donate the fabrics to the less fortunate.

What if it’s in a bad condition? Not to worry, you can still send them to charity shops! Usually, they will sell them as rags and still profit.

Or if you prefer, you can always reuse them again next year if you store them in good condition.

In addition, to celebrate a more sustainable Halloween, you can opt to work on your cluttered, unused clothing and create costumes out of it!

Halloween recycling: what about pumpkins?

It’s not Halloween if there is no pumpkin, right?

Now with that said, what can you do with your Halloween pumpkins?

First off, you can turn them into loads of delicious recipes! Instead of throwing them away, fill your tummy and make it happy by whipping up a quick sweet treat or two.

Another thing you could do with your Halloween pumpkins as an effective way of ‘recycling’ is to compost them. You can read our blog about composting at home to learn more.

Speaking of composting, take a look at our podcast video below as we talk about why you should consider composting!
