Compost Pedallers

Compost Pedallers is a for-profit enterprise that relies on 100 percent bike-power to collect compostables from Austin-based homes and businesses and transport them to nearby urban farms and community gardens to support the growth of local food.  Through this work, the business aims to build a more vibrant community by reducing waste, strengthening the local food system, and re-connecting neighbors to each other and the places in which they live.  To encourage composting, participants are awarded points for each pound of scraps collected, which can then be redeemed for local goods and services at over a dozen local businesses.
