Compost And Soil Mixes Made Just For You.
Missouri Organic Recycling carries several types of compost made from organic feed stocks like grass clippings picked up curbside, municipal yard waste drop-off, food waste, and tree trimmings. These compostable feed stocks are a perfect mix of browns and greens and diverse materials to make the perfect compost products. This alternative waste management strategy helps divert waste from landfills.
Our Nature Wise and Green Frontier composts are commercially processed from Yard waste, tree trimmings, and food waste residuals recycled from the Kansas City area. The food waste feedstock is rich in a variety of nutrients that helps create a higher quality compost. Nature Wise and Green Frontier composts are a 100% natural soil amendment made from organic resources.

Supplies essential trace minerals for healthy growth
Improves soil tilth and reduces the need for tilling
Increases microbial life and nutrient availability
Captures toxins and enhances soil biology
Great for lawns, gardens, raised beds, and agriculture
