We do put up decorations (ones I buy at garage sales or thrift stores and reuse each year). Use the pulp for pumpkin bread, cookies, pies, soups and more. Compost it by cutting it up and putting it on the pile. Once the kids left home, we ended up with zero trick or treaters at our house on a state highway.
