NYC community-supported, bike-powered, fossil fuel free food waste hauling & composting service
2021 / Manhattan / $18,000
BK ROT is very grateful to have received support from WellMet during these unprecedented times. WellMet's funding will allow us to safely continue our essential work to collect food waste by bike and transform it into compost.
BK ROT is New York City's first community-supported, bike-powered, fossil fuel free food waste hauling and composting service. Our project is staffed by young people of color who haul organic waste from small businesses and transform it into high quality compost. Our operations provide accessible jobs and sustained professional development for emerging environmental leaders.
