Halloween pumpkin collection
Dear friends, the Halloween pumpkin collection is coming again!
We are delighted to announce that once again we will be collecting your Halloween pumpkins which we will then deliver to local animal rescues. We would like to collect more than last year and smash the numbers!
When?
When the Halloween scream is cut off, you won't feel like tricks anymore and the treats will leave you with just a reminder, you can still do something amazing.
You can feed the animals.
On the first weekend after Halloween, give us your pumpkins and we will give them to animal shelters in your area.
November 4th and 5th, 2022
No Tricks
just Treats
Where:
There are three* drop-off locations:
- Corby
- iFORCE (Corby) - for employees only
- Kettering
- ...
- ... but please don't drop your pumpkin like in basketball games. ;)
* We are still negotiating to create more locations and make it easier for you - we will update this, and also we will let you know here and in Social Media, or you can contact us.
These Pumpkin Info Posters will appear on collection days at these locations to make it easier for you to get there. Let the pumpkin guide you.

Please note!
We collect whole, uncut, uncarved, unpainted, and raw pumpkins!
Pumpkins can only be donated if they haven't been in a domestic kitchen. As an exception, you can give us pumpkins with stickers on them – if you forget to remove them, we will do that for you.
If you want to bring pumpkins that do not meet the above requirements, we will not be able to accept them from you due to animal regulations in shelters. Sorry, but do not bring them, we cannot transfer them to animals.
It is very important these guidelines are respected.
In case of any question or concern, please use this link to e-mail us (we will reply ASAP).
We will inform you about the results of the delivery of pumpkins to the shelters.
We are looking forward to seeing many pumpkins delivered to us and promise we will update our website regularly with progress, including pictures. Once all pumpkins have been delivered to our local rescues, we will also post an update on all our social media platforms and our website.
For details of the collection, including dates, please check our website and Social Media.
