Our Purpose

Our mission: Spoke Folks is a worker-owned, bicycle-powered cooperative that provides trash, recycling and compost pickup. Our services reduce food waste, local traffic, and greenhouse gas emissions. We create good jobs and cultivate a regenerative approach to waste management.We work to reduce the amount of waste in landfills by encouraging our community to recycle and divert food scraps from the waste stream. We want to reduce emissions by taking cars off the road, show people that bikes are a viable form of transportation, and support the health of our community.
