Important Announcement

Missouri Organic Recycling no longer collects food waste. We remain the only Food Waste Compost facility in the KC Area and will continue to compost commercial food waste. We will accept food waste at our compost facility if it is hauled to us. Please contact us with any questions and for recommendations on hauling.

Dated April 1st, 2025

After much consideration, we have made the difficult decision to discontinue our food waste route services effective April 30, 2025. This choice comes as a result of increasing labor, insurance, and equipment costs, which have made it unsustainable for us to continue this service at the level of quality and reliability you deserve. Although we are discontinuing our collection routes, we want to reassure you that Missouri Organic Recycling will continue to be the number one processor of food waste in Kansas City. We will keep collaborating with other haulers and food waste generators. In fact, we are proud to be the only facility in the region that processes more than 31 million pounds of food waste annually into nutrient-rich compost. Our core mission remains unchanged: to reduce landfill waste, improve soil health, and contribute to a cleaner, greener future for our community.

We understand this transition may cause some disruption, and we deeply apologize for any inconvenience. If you have questions, concerns, or need assistance during this time, please don’t hesitate to reach out to Dave Collins.

Thank you again for being part of our mission. While this service is ending, our dedication to environmental stewardship and our Kansas City community remains strong. We look forward to continuing to serve you with our high-quality compost, mulch, and soil products—and to growing a greener future, together.
