I learned about the compost pedallers through a program on WLIW Ch. 21. In Austin, TX, there is a group of people who ride around on specially equipped bicycles picking up compost. I think they said it cost $20 a month, and the pedallers will come to a subscriber's house and get the compost, which is then taken to a local organic farm. They also have a composting operation of their own, and they showed people tending the compost in the program.
One of the organic growers showed his compost operation, too, and because of careful composting, his farm can finish compost in 8-10 weeks.
