One person’s food scrap is another person’s … COMPOST?!?! Not exactly how the Old English proverb goes, but don’t tell that to Nudge Compost.
This Wichita-based startup has quickly made a big impact. 302,411 LBS. OF IMPACT TO BE SPECIFIC. That is the weight of food scraps Nudge Compost has successfully diverted away from local landfills since its founding in 2018. To put that into language that the “Air Capital of the World” will better understand – that is the weight of two fully-loaded Boeing 737-800’s sitting on a tarmac ready for takeoff!
So how has Nudge Compost done it? By partnering with eco-conscious organizations all across the City of Wichita. Reverie Coffee Roasters. Peace Love & Pie. The Lux. Wichita State University. Leslie Coffee Co. Adorers of the Blood of Christ. And these are just a few of the restaurants, coffee shops, bars, office buildings, and lunchrooms in the region committed to making a positive impact on the environment.
But Nudge Compost isn’t just for commercial businesses. For as little as $10-$20 a week, your household can join in on the fun too. If the 5-Star Reviews on Google are any indication, you won’t regret your decision. SERIOUSLY!!! Nudge Compost has 49 Google Reviews and every single one of them is a 5-Star. Pretty impressive for a company whose business revolves around composting – a natural biological process that uses microorganisms like bacteria and fungi to break down organic matter into a fertilizer!
Notably, Nudge Compost doesn’t just provide a simple and clean alternative to sending food scraps to landfills. It also enables folks to look at their food waste in a whole new way. After all: what better way to recognize your household is overcooking than scraping platefuls of food into a 5-gallon bucket on a nightly basis?

Oh … and this blog post wouldn’t be complete without a tip-of-the-cap to Nudge Compost’s wonderful tagline. Sometimes all you need is a little nudge. (Ain’t that the truth – just ask Nobel Prize-winning economist Richard Thaler about the famous Fly in the Urinal).
