As many Delawareans move past Halloween and prepare for Thanksgiving, some may be looking for ways to get rid of pumpkins.
Pumpkins for Pigs, a nationwide organization that collects uncarved, non-inked and non-painted pumpkins, may be able to help. The group's website is where you can find local farms that are accepting donations of pumpkins and gourds for sheep, chickens and, of course, pigs.
Here are several options to dispose of pumpkins in the Delaware area, according to Pumpkins for Pigs.
