Unique Businesses – Hauling Compost & Protecting the Environment
May 26, 2009 by Mary Emma Allen
Creative thinking lies at the root of many unique home businesses. Who would think one could evolve from composting?
Recently I learned about Megan Kolbay in Vermont (USA), who has developed a business toting her compost and that of others to a community compost collection point or pile. Apparently first one friend, then another offered to pay Megan to take their compost to the pile, down a dirt road, when she took hers.
This gave Megan the idea there might be a market for this service. See…something we’ve mentioned before….find an need and fill it.
This concept has grown into Earthgirl Composting, Megan’s business whereby she picks up compost curb side for various individuals and businesses in her area. (www.earthgirlcomposting.com )
What idea(s) do you have for a unique business? Have you developed one you’d like to tell us about?
