There was a stuff article about them here: http://www.stuff.co.nz/environment/83500178/Pedalling-Wellingtons-food-scraps-into-compost
They pick up food waste in the Wellington CBD on a push bike (no carbon emissions) and compost it and use it to fertilise and urban farm where they grow fruit and vege. Half of this produce grown is donated to local charities in need.
We Compost is another great initiative - this time up in Auckland.

Back in 2009, Steve Rickerby was working at an insurance company. The office moved in to Auckland's first 5 star green rated building. As part of the rating system, staff were separating waste in to rubbish, recycling and compost but none of the large waste companies offered a service to collect the food waste and paper hand towels. There was no space to compost on site and the waste was just going to landfill. Steve decided to solve the problem and launched We Compost collections with one bin on the back of his ute.
We Compost now collects over 25,000 kgs of organic waste each week - Servicing corporate offices, foodcourts, schools, tertiary institutes, hotels, cafes, coffee roasters and caterers. Since March 2012 We Compost has helped save over two million kgs of waste from ending up in landfill and continues to grow...
They offer a wide range of service as well! Corporate composting (with a range of bin sizes), event composting, and products to start your own composting initiatives.
