Kansas City neighborhood collects compost weekly - by bicycle! - Jerusalem Farm

Headlines are quick hits from media outlets from Missouri and around the world. Follow the headline link for the full story. The source of this headline says:

Pendleton Heights’ weekly curbside food scrap collection program – powered by bicycle!

Food scraps like banana peels, carrot tops, coffee grounds, and old bread which you used to put in the trash can now be saved in order to create compost: a mix-ture of decaying organic substances, like leaves or food scraps, used for fertilizing soil and growing great vegetables and flowers! Leaves and small yard waste will be collected occasionally as well.
Why?

Help save about 15% of your normal trash from going to the Johnson County landfill just by throwing compostable food scraps in your compost container. Instead of sit-ting in the landfill those food scraps from your kitchen will break down naturally into a resource for gardens right here in Pendleton Heights!
