How it Works

COLLECT YOUR SCRAPS

Place compostable items in your green bin that we provide.

PLACE THEM OUT

Every week, we'll come by on bike to collect your organics and clean your bin.

SUPPORT LOCAL FOOD

We bike your organics to local urban farms and gardens so they can grow more food.

Create your account online and you'll be composting within the week!

HOW DO WE MEASURE SUCCESS?

WASTE DIVERSION

Waste is really just a resource, that's in the wrong place. So far, we've diverted over 610,000 pounds of organic material from the landfill.

COMPOST

Compost enriches soil by providing nutrients that would otherwise be depleted from constant use. We've created about 100,000 pounds of compost and donated it to over 30 local farms and gardens to grow more food.

METHANE EMISSIONS

Landfills are the second leading producer of methane, a greenhouse gas 22 times more potent than carbon dioxide. We've cut methane emissions by over 60 tons by keeping organics out of the landfill. 

DOLLARS SAVED

We've saved almost $10,000 for local growers across Austin. By donating organics and compost to local urban farms and gardens, we're providing a service that gives back to our city.

DIESEL FUEL

We've saved over 27,000 gallons of fuel using bicycles instead of trucks. Don't think a program of this size is possible on bicycles? Read more about how we do this in our About Us section.

CALORIES EXPENDED

We've expended almost 2,250,000 calories from our Pedallers. Burning fat instead of fuel, we keep Austin healthy, beautiful, and environmentally-friendly.
