Kevin Anderson

Kevin Anderson is the Owner, CEO, and Visionary of Missouri Organic Recycling, a family owned and operated organic recycling company based in Kansas City, Missouri. He has spent more than 33 years building the business from the ground up alongside his father and brother, growing it into a multimillion-dollar leader in organic recycling and soil health.

Missouri Organic Recycling has been Kevin’s only career. Since 1993, he has done every job the company has needed, from driving trucks and running loaders to sales, marketing, and finance. That hands on experience still defines his leadership style today. He currently oversees company vision, financial strategy, and brand direction, while staying closely connected to day-to-day operations.

Under Kevin’s leadership, Missouri Organic Recycling has become one of the Midwest’s most trusted organic recycling operations. The company processes yard waste and food waste into high quality compost, mulch, and custom soil blends used by homeowners, landscapers, businesses, and municipalities. MOR sells more than 400,000 yards of mulch and over 100,000 yards of compost each year and recycles more than 100 million pounds of organic material annually. Since 2005, the company has diverted well over two billion pounds of organic waste from local landfills.

Kevin approaches sustainability in a practical, results driven way. Missouri Organic Recycling exists to solve real problems, reduce landfill waste, improve soil health, and support long-term community resilience. That mindset has made MOR a trusted partner for cities, institutions, and businesses that need reliable organic waste solutions.

Community involvement is core to Kevin’s leadership. Missouri Organic Recycling donates compost to urban farms and community gardens and invests heavily in education. The company’s award-winning Food Too Good to Waste program has taught more than 100,000 students the importance of composting and reducing food waste.

Kevin leads by four simple values: whatever it takes, family-focused, a passion for a cause, and humble. Those values guide how the company operates today and how it will continue to grow for generations to come.
