Case Study: Scraps (bike-powered compost pickup service) achieves 85x customer growth and mobile, automated payments with PaySimple

How the Founder of Bike-Powered Compost Service, Scraps Keeps Pedaling

Scraps is a Denver-based, bike-powered compost pickup and zero-waste event service founded in 2017 by Christi Turner after she left her office job to fill a gap in city composting access. The pedal-powered business runs trikes serving residential and commercial clients, but rapid growth left Christi juggling marketing, payroll, route logistics and payments while needing a mobile, human-centered solution.

She chose PaySimple for its local presence, personal support and mobile-friendly tools—using Payment Forms, recurring billing and automated deposits and reports to stop chasing checks. The result: seamless payments that supported growth from one PaySimple user to over 250 customers (an 85x increase), letting Christi stay on the bike and scale the business.
