NORTHWEST TALLAHASSEE, FL (WTXL) — Compost Community has kept thousands of gallons of food scraps out of landfills for years, but the loss of its only work truck now threatens weekly pickups and deliveries.

For one Tallahassee family, the weekly compost pickup has kept thousands of gallons of food scraps out of landfills over a span of 13 years.
Instead, the food scraps you set out each week can become compost that someone else uses to grow food, flowers or plants.
"Somebody's going to benefit from eating the food that's grown from that compost that you contributed to to the operation," Hardy-El said.
