Roeland Park is the latest metro city to team up with a local composting org to form a green dream team.

The process is as simple as: subscribe, stop in, discard scraps + dump. Residents can purchase a $12.99 KC Can Compost subscription and either a five-gallon bucket or countertop container, which they pick up at Roeland Park City Hall. When full of acceptable scraps, the good stuff can get dumped off at a Price Chopper receptacle (4950 Roe Blvd.).

Not an RP resident? Don't worry, there are plenty of KC-area businesses and nonprofits ready to take food + yard waste off your hands:

KCMO + Olathe offer free composting services with drop-off locations around the city.
Anyone within the greater Kansas City area can compost for a fee. Want to get soil back? Go with Compost Collective KC. Rather send your soil to a nearby farm? Try KC Can Compost and Urbavore Urban Farm.
Food scraps aren't the only items you can compost. Many city services, along with Missouri Organic and Kansas City Composting, take yard waste.
