Halloween's been over for ages and no one wants giant pumpkins lying around, but after the rubbish collectors told one man he had to break them up before he could throw them away, he decided to get creative.

Footage has emerged from Canada of the man throwing a massive pumpkin off a roof to hit another one on the ground, thus breaking both of them into lots of little pieces.

A small crowd of kids watches from across the street as he launches the pumpkin off the building and they cheer when it hits the floor.

The filmer later wrote online: "The City said I had to break them into smaller pieces in order to be taken away with the compost. Much obliged!"
