Reclaimed Organics is taking leftover meals and throwing them onto bike wheels, reducing both automobile transportation and food waste through a simple, low-input service. A couple of days a week, employees travel New York City via bicycle, collecting leftover ‘organics’ (compostable food scraps) and transporting them to a managed garden called East Side Outside Community Garden.
Founder Laura Rosenshine calls Reclaimed Organics, “… a kind of reverse delivery food service. We order pizza,” she says, “why can’t we call for someone to come and pick up our compost?”
