Thursday afternoon the crew did our first full-fledged food waste pickup with the horses.
The route spans South and North of Route 28 in Dunellen, several homes in Green Brook, a few in North Plainfield, and several in Plainfield near us. This area is close to a lot of towns. One of our homes is in Piscataway, another in Middlesex -- all just over the town line.
We have seven homes east of Park Avenue as well. Right now we're picking those up by car. Katie and Abbie aren't ready to do two routes in a day. For those seven homes, we may move their Monday pickup to Sunday, so we can bring the horses. Hopefully we can get some more people in that area signed up.
It took 4 hours to do the route. Marc thinks with practice, the time will be reduced.
We picked up food waste from 42 homes and collected 266 lbs of food waste .. and some dog, rabbit and deer poo!
More people are signing up for the pilot, which is great. I have to order more buckets!!
