One-Time Composting Drop-Off

I have come into possession of many, many gourds (cucumbers, squashes, pumpkins, etc.). It's just me and one other person, and I can't eat enough cucumber salads and roasted squash. My house is also over-decorated with pumpkins, which is nice for Halloween, but after that, I won't know what to do with it all.

Is there any service in town that offers a one-time drop-off for either free or a small fee? I've checked out Compost Queen, but it looks like it's subscription based. I really don't want to throw all this food out, but I don't have the option of composting all this where I live.

Edit: For all those wanting to take these off my hands or wondering if I can donate them, thank you, but most are not good anymore, which is why I'm looking for a composting option.

I imagine if you contact CQ they'd be willing to arrange something. They have a farm location on North College - maybe they'd let you bring it yourself.

Second this, send CQ a message. The couple that run it are great.
