GRASSROOTS CURBSIDE COLLECTION
by Ellen Slattery from http://www.dailycandy.com/philadelphia/article/35876/Trailer+Trash April 4, 2008 You’ve been in therapy for years and you’ve still got tons of garbage. Though Pedal Co-Op can’t get rid of your mental trash, they can haul away your physical clutter. Their fleet of bicycle-pulled trailers can tend to the recycling needs of small businesses throughout Center City and West Philly and are a great alternative to recycling trucks that guzzle fuel, clog traffic, and spew gnarly exhaust. They work with a single stream plant, so there’s no need to sort glass from plastic from cardboard. If that’s not enough ecogoodness, they’ll take organic waste (like vegetable peelings and coffee grinds) to a local composter. Rates depend on how much trash you have. The more you’ve got, the more you’ll pay. Which is why your shrink is making a fortune.Q&A with Philly's Pedal Co-Op Founder

One Saturday night last May, Woody (née John MacDuffie Woodburn, pictured above) and his roommate, Pete, were chillin' at South Philly institution Bob & Barbra's, sipping beers and musing on recyclables.
"We noticed that the only waste that they had [could all be] recycled," Woody told me via e-mail. "We could make money by removing their recyclables and the bar could save money from the waste management and, in return, pay us a little."Daily Candy Article (April 2008)
