We think composting makes life beautiful. We help each other by helping the world around us. How?
Why Composting Matters
GREENHOUSE GAS EMISSIONS
By composting, you are actively decreasing our city’s methane production and contributing to a healthier Kansas City.
WATER QUALITY
Composting helps the soil retain water more efficiently which minimizes damaging runoff that contaminates our waterways and contributes to land erosion.
SOIL HEALTH AND FOOD NUTRIENTS
Composting food waste puts nutrients back into the soil, so healthier food can be grown safely and efficiently.
LANDFILL CAPACITY
Landfills are reaching capacity and contaminating our water and air with toxins in the process. It is startling to realize that over 60% of what goes into them could be turned into nutrient rich soil that could be used for local and world food production.
NATURAL FERTILIZER
Because of its healthy microbial activity, compost serves as a potent fertilizer and natural pesticide - a sustainable alternative to chemical products.
