cargo bike movement

We are launching an Everpress campaign to raise money for the continuation of of the food collections by cargo bike. Cargo Bike Movement volunteers pick up surplus food from 11 supermarkets in Edinburgh and drop them off at the Zero Waste Hub, where they’re sorted and distribution happens. In 2024, the food collections recovered 47,011 kg of food waste, getting the food to people who need it!

The food collections have been happening in this way since 2020 through the hard work Cargo Bike Movement and Shrub Cooperative volunteers.

With the winding up of Cargo Bike Movement CIC and the changes at the Shrub Cooperative, the food collections have an uncertain future.

This fundraiser is aimed at covering future costs that may include cargo bike maintenance, insurance, and storage. While we don’t know exactly what these runs will look like, we hope funds from this campaign will help guarantee the continued distribution of food to the community.
