Moonshot Compost turns your food waste into nutrient rich compost

HOUSTON, Texas – A Houston company takes what most people would consider junk and turns it into useful treasure.
Moonshot Compost takes food waste and turns it into nutrient rich compost. You want people to think of excess food as a resource, not waste. Between 30 and 40 percent of the food produced instead never ends up on a dinner table, it ends up in landfills, and the Houston-area landfill space is filling up.

Most of the city doesn’t have access to residential compost pickup, so the two guys behind Moonshot Compost decided to change things up. They offer a subscription service and collect food waste from households, homes and businesses – including the Houston Food Bank and many local restaurants – turn it into compost and bring it back. The company also tracks the pounds of food waste each subscriber keeps out of landfills.
