The Idea

We, The Rot Riders, seek a healthier life for all. We engage our community by collecting food scraps and yard waste via bike and trailer from residential homes in Kirksville, MO, turning it into compost! Our service is FREE and helps local gardeners, farmers, and all those who participate.

The Specifics

With the passing of the seasons comes the yearly weathering of our bike trailers. Our homemade trailers have started to show signs of deterioration, and without them we cannot continue our mission in the Kirksville community. With $500, we can continue to provide this FREE pick-up service by purchasing new trailers and expanding our reach to more residents. With your help, we can continue to educate and engage our community, allowing individuals to actively participate in closing the broken nutrient-cycle in our local food system. This decreases physical waste, promotes cycling, and reduces the need for harmful chemical additives in our soil. As Gandhi once said, “For every revolution of the wheel spins peace, good will, and love.”
