Once Halloween is over, many costumes are discarded or stored away, often never to be worn again, representing a loss of money and contributing to landfill waste.
Mac Mckenna, a local Wimbledon resident had this to say, Last Halloween I spent the night clearing away plastic sweet wrappers left behind by children who were too young to realise the environmental mess they were causing.
The emphasis on consumerism often diverts from the original meaning of the holiday, leading to increasingly elaborate themes and traditions that can strain family budgets.
Many consumers are advocating for more sustainable practices, such as swapping costumes or creating DIY outfits from second-hand materials.
