Bicycle composting and recycling service in action in Philadelphia<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

A couple months ago I wrote about a cool\u00a0bicycle composting service<\/strong><\/a> in St. Paul, Minnesota. Here’s a similar bike composting and recycling service in Philadelphia, the Pedal Co-Op.<\/p>\n

\u201cMotivated by their love of bike culture and the environment, this enterprising group has built a cooperative business around transporting other businesses\u2019 compost and recycling,\u201d Rory Woods of sustainablog writes<\/a>.<\/p>\n

“The Pedal Co-Op is a worker run organization that offers an alternative recycling and compost hauling service to businesses in Philadelphia,” the YouTube page for the video below<\/a> says. “Using trailers attached to the back of bicycles, riders for the Pedal Co-Op haul recyclables to Blue Mountain Recycling and compost to local gardens.”<\/p>\n
