Do you want to help turn today’s jack-o’-lantern into tomorrow’s BLT?

Between now and and Monday, Las Vegas Livestock will have three drop-off locations for your no-longer-needed pumpkins. The donations will be used to feed the pigs and chickens being raised near Apex, north of the Las Vegas Valley.

The locations are:

— UNLV Rebel Recycling Center, on the southeast corner of East Flamingo Road and Swenson Street;

— Master Gardener Orchard at the University of Nevada Cooperative Extension, 4600 Horse Drive;

— CAL-Ranch Store, 232 N. Jones Blvd.
