Challenged with launching a viable startup in 54 hours, participants in the Columbia, MO Startup Weekend have been feverishly working on their projects since Friday afternoon… and the Sunday evening judging is only a few hours away. Team ‘Waste Not’ is an subscription waste management solution.
“The problem is there’s no easy way to avoid landfills,” said Eric Burns, Waste Not founder. “Industrial surveys show that 20 percent of Americans will pay a premium to live a zero waste lifestyle”
Team Waste Not’s premium solution is an end to end logistics service from collection to processing that ensures that none of your waste goes into a landfill.
“The original idea was a little more complicated, but we found our target customer and targeted high end residential and their landlords so we can scale up the business.”
