What do you do with your pumpkins?

As above , how does everyone dispose of their pumpkins? I can cut them up and put in the food waste bin but I see a lot of people saying leave for the wildlife. So what wildlife eats them? We regularly have a fox visitor and it hasn't made any attempts to eat them as yet so I guess not foxes.

Food waste bin

Cut them up and put them in the general waste bin or compost. Our council actively asks us not to leave them out for wildlife.

They are highly poisonous for hedgehogs apparently, our local wildlife group has posted asking people not to chuck them out in woods etc.
