Bin Swap Program
Composting at Your Own Pace
No Subscription. No Schedule. No Commitment.
With 20+ Swap Spots across the Kansas City metro, you can compost as frequently (or infrequently) as you’d like. Simply collect your food scraps in your CCKC bin at home, then visit any participating Swap Spot to exchange your full bucket for a freshly cleaned one with a new compostable liner.
Our Swap Spots are hosted by awesome local businesses and community partners who help make composting more accessible throughout the region. Stop by during their regular business hours, swap your bucket, and support a local business while you’re there.
Once collected, your food scraps are processed locally and transformed into nutrient-rich compost that supports farms, gardens, and green spaces throughout our community.
Bin Swap Pricing
- 10 one-time bin purchase
