Last fall, Gary Parente launched Curbside Compost with a simple goal—make composting easier for Williamson County residents and turn everyday food scraps into a small, steady act of sustainability.
About the program
As a Cedar Park resident, Parente launched his organic recycling concept to extend composting services to residents north of Austin—which already offers compost pickup services from the city.
Curbside Compost provides an airtight bin for residents to dispose of their food scraps in, which they then place on the curb on their scheduled pickup day. Parente leads the services, collecting the scraps, cleaning the bins and leaving a new liner.
