Composting is just one part of a healthier local food system. Curbside composters have the option to order fresh, healthy produce from Urbavore Urban Farm, including CSA shares, delivered right alongside your compost service. Welcome to the full circle full-circle experience: your scraps return to the soil, which grows fresh food, which then comes right back to your table.

Your First Pickup

No bin yet? No problem.

For your first collection, simply place your compostables in your own container or in a double-bagged paper bag at the curb. We’ll collect your food scraps and leave behind a clean, sealable Compost Collective KC bin with a compostable liner included.

After that, just bring your bin inside and start composting!

To keep things clean and odor-free, check out our Bin Tips & Tricks guide. Composting can be simple, tidy, and pest-free with a few easy habits. And we’re always here to help.
