Roeland Park is the latest metro city to team up with a local composting org to form a green dream team.
The process is as simple as: subscribe, stop in, discard scraps + dump. Residents can purchase a $12.99 KC Can Compost subscription and either a five-gallon bucket or countertop container, which they pick up at Roeland Park City Hall. When full of acceptable scraps, the good stuff can get dumped off at a Price Chopper receptacle (4950 Roe Blvd.).
Not an RP resident? Don’t worry, there are plenty of KC-area businesses and nonprofits ready to take food + yard waste off your hands:
- KCMO + Olathe offer free composting services with drop-off locations around the city.
- Anyone within the greater Kansas City area can compost for a fee. Want to get soil back? Go with Compost Collective KC. Rather send your soil to a nearby farm? Try KC Can Compost and Urbavore Urban Farm.
- Food scraps aren’t the only items you can compost. Many city services, along with Missouri Organic and Kansas City Composting, take yard waste.
