Scraps is a new company with a new concept for the Mile High City: food scraps pick-up for multi-tenant buildings. Unfortunately the City of Denver composting program isn’t able to offer services to buildings with more than seven units, and yet Denver is filled with multi-tenant buildings – more and more all the time. What’s more, up to 50 percent of what Denverites throw in the landfill is organic matter that could be composted.
Scraps addresses this problem in a way other waste haulers can’t – because we’re scrappy. Scraps is a low-carbon, bicycle-based, flexible & local solution, tailored to multi-family housing. We use locally manufactured “bicycle vehicles” to pick up food scraps from multi-tenant building customers and transport the food scraps to collection points – large compost dumpsters – that are already part of the
city’s compost program, simply adding to the load that trucks already haul out to the regional compost processing facility.
We’ll provide everything a building and its tenants need to keep their food scraps out of the landfill: countertop bins, compostable baggies, large bins for on-site collection, large compostable bin liners, and a regularly scheduled bicycle pick-up to haul away the collected food scraps. And we’ll do it with no mess, no noisy trucks & a completely personalized service.
