Kai Cycle is a project that's putting the cycling back into food recyling. Collecting organic waste is nothing new; there are schemes throughout the country and the council do it in Christchurch and there's currently a trial underway in Auckland. What's different about Kai Cycle is that it doesn't just collect the green waste, it uses it to make compost to power an urban farm that turns out tasty and nutritious food too. And the collection work all gets done on bicycles!
