Growing a Greener World Episode 811 - The Compost Pedallers

America is on a mission to lighten their environmental footprint while reducing waste going into landfills. Many urban and suburban homeowners know that composting is a great way to do both. Yet not everyone is ready to take the dive into managing a backyard heap of food scraps and yard debris. In Austin, locals can have the best of both words. The Compost Pedallers is a small eco-minded company on a big mission. Using the clean energy of pedal power, they’ll bike to your door, pick up your weekly collection, and haul it off to a nearby farm to do the dirty work for you. Keeping it local and out of the landfill while producing an abundance of compost, it’s a winning recipe and a business model that’s as green as it gets and growing fast.

Do any of the Compost Pedallers clients include residential apartments, senior housing, university campuses, etc.? This would involve a lot less cycling since these sites have so many more residents and waste than a single family household.

Not that I was made aware of. But you’re right. Although that may open up a whole new set of challenges with stairs and great if hauling distances from each door to the bike trailers. Probably not as doable.
