Presenter says Shift helped pilot Mother Compost bucket swaps now being used in Lower Merion
Summary
Kimberly said Shift partnered early with Mother Compost on bucket-swap programs that make composting accessible for condo and apartment residents, and that this work helped pave the way for a Lower Merion pilot.
Kimberly, co-founder of Shift, told the Township she and Shift were an early pilot partner with Mother Compost and that the bucket-swap model helps condo and apartment residents divert food scraps.
"We actually were, I think, the early pilot project with Mother Compost that's paved the way to the pilot that y'all are now doing in Lower Merion Township," she said, explaining the bucket-swap service and the convenience it offers people without private outdoor composting space.
She described how residents can bring food scraps to Shift for bucket swaps and how the partnership increases access for dwellers who do not generate enough material for full compost systems. Kimberly recommended the bucket-swap approach as a complement to municipal composting pilots and community drop-off sites.
The presenter framed the partnership as a practical bridge between municipal pilot programs and household-scale composting, particularly in denser residential settings.
