Giveback Program
Twice a year, CCKC offers finished compost (nutrient-dense soil for your garden) to all of our curbside + bin swap subscribers. This compost is created from the food scraps YOU recycle, so we know it’s the good stuff (aka Nature’s Black Gold).
How to Claim Your Compost
Curbsider?
Reserve your bags of compost through your CCKC Portal during our spring & fall giveback windows. You will receive an email when the order form is live with further ordering details.
Bin Swapper?
Sign up for our email list here, follow us on social media (@compostcollectivekc) or check back on our website for giveback updates. You can also attend our Volunteer Bagging Events to take home your free bag of compost.

I have my bags of compost, now what?
Now for the fun part! Apply your compost to potted house plants or outdoor garden beds for a boost of fertilizer and added water retention. Make sure to use it sparingly though – compost is extremely nutrient-dense, so a little goes a long way. Spread the compost throughout the top 2 inches of topsoil to prevent overdoing it. Enjoy the wonderful benefits of healthier plants & soil!
Spring 2026 Volunteer Bagging Events
Join Compost Collective KC for our bi-annual bagging events! Choose between an after-work happy hour or a morning with coffee & pastries to help our team bag up the fresh finished compost, then take home a free bag for your much appreciated assistance – your garden will thank you!
Feel free to come out for one event, or all five events, for free compost and family-friendly fun at Urbavore Urban Farm (located at 5500 Bennington Ave in KCMO).
*Please bring your own cup + carpool if possible to reserve space. Enter through Urbavore’s new front gravel driveway right off of Bennington.*
See you there! ♻
