To prevent Halloween drain clog disasters, Roto-Rooter Plumbing and Drain Service recommends carving pumpkins on a thick stack of newspaper far from the kitchen sink. When the jack-o'-lantern is finished, all pumpkin pulp should then be wrapped up in the newspaper and tossed into the garbage can.
"We've tried to inform the public about the dangers of putting pumpkin guts in the garbage disposal but people either aren't listening or they aren't getting the message," said Paul Abrams, spokesman for Roto-Rooter. "The slimy pumpkin pulp gums up disposals, sticks to the pipes then hardens like glue to choke your drains."
Each year, in the days leading up to Halloween, Roto-Rooter gets a burst of calls from frantic customers whose kitchen sinks are in need of a drain repair from clogged pumpkin pulp. Plumbers have to use a special rotating cable machine equipped with cutting blades to bore through sticky sink clogs and shave away the pumpkin pulp from the inside walls of the drainpipe. The process can be time consuming and costly.
Disposing of pumpkin insides doesn't have to result in a clogged drain. There are beneficial ways to make use of the leftovers. Homeowners can add the pumpkin bits to their compost pile. They can also save the seeds and plant them in the garden to grow new pumpkins for next year's Halloween festivities.
