The East Side Compost Pedallers

On cargo bikes, the East Side Compost Pedallers are sparing the landfill and diesel fuel by picking up residential and commercial compostables. The compost is taken to nearby local organic farmers and community gardens who, since 2012,  have reaped 30,910 pounds of compost from their neighbors’ “scrapple.” Through these sustainable practices, The East Side Compost Pedallers hope to create a better Austin by reducing waste, connecting neighbors, and also transforming ‘waste’ to strengthen the local food system.
