The vegetable can be deadly for the wildlife critter and should be disposed of either in food waste or regular bins.
Wildlife experts are warning households not to dump pumpkins in green spaces and woodlands once Halloween is over, or risk causing serious harm.
On Tuesday, the organisation shared photos of festering pumpkins in the wild on social media and explained why this should be avoided. Not only can it attract vermin and harm the environment, it could also lead to the death of the woodland critter. "Instead of leaving your old pumpkins in woodlands, please remember to dispose of them properly by placing them in your food recycling bin or your own personal compost heap. Leaving them in the woodlands is littering, which is illegal."
"Wild woodland often supports delicate ground plant and animal communities. Dropping pumpkins into the mix can seriously disrupt nutrient levels and throw things out of kilter - the dumped pumpkins can also attract rats."
