Getting Rid of Your Pumpkin

After Halloween, don’t throw out your pumpkins!

Drop them off at the Yard Waste Depot to give them a new purpose!

From Oct 31 to Nov 4, the City has partnered with Fenek Farms who will feed the pumpkins to their farm animals.

The Yard Waste Depot is open from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. and is located next to the landfill on Fleet St.

Skip the washing Machine… Shower with your Jeans on

We’ve heard numerous times to NEVER wash your jeans! Even from the CEO of Levi Strauss, Charles Bergh.

Bergh said in the past jeans don’t need to be washed... But earlier this month, Bergh clarified that he didn’t mean you should never wash your jeans. 

Instead, he explained that he never puts true denim jeans in a washing machine. 

He suggests spot-cleaning jeans or if they’re really dirty… he says to shower with your jeans on!

As taboo (and maybe uncomfortable) as it sounds, Bergh said he will wear his gross jeans in the shower, “soap myself down and wash them.”

This supposedly cleans them and keeps their size and fit.
