History

Established in 2012.

Chris had a lot of friends who wanted composting options but didn’t want to do it themselves. He wanted to collect on bicycles to have the smallest impact possible and not to have to rely on gasoline to compost. He started scooping up neighbors dinner scraps and processing them himself until we got too many houses to do himself.

Now we have multiple bicycles with trailers that pick up thousands of pounds of food scraps a week.
