Welcome, ghouls and goblins, to a spooky special of Talking Rubbish! This week, we explore the truly terrifying statistics behind the Halloween pumpkin. Plus, we will unravel the alchemy of chemical recycling, discuss what happens to that Halloween costume after the party and reveal some sustainable decoration ideas.

Join hosts James Piper and Robbie Staniforth as they treat you to a hauntingly helpful guide for a greener Halloween, hopefully having fun along the way. One thing is for sure, they will talk absolute rubbish from start to finish.
