Curious how the impact of composting affects the environment?

The simple habit of separating your food scraps into a compost bin can make an incredible impact toward a sustainable future for Kansas City.

Individual actions add up. Did you know that one KC family composting for 3 years can divert 1 ton of food waste from municipal landfills?! By composting your food waste, instead of putting it in the trash, you are replenishing local soil, limiting the production of methane + sequestering carbon from the atmosphere! Composting makes KC a better place to be for everyone!
