You could always compost under your sink (assuming you have a space under your sink). Or make a box that the bucket sits in if it needs to sit on the floor so it's a wee more attractive.
That would allow you to use your own for house plants or take it to a friends already composted.

I am sure that if you posted an ad on Craigslist in the Garden section that someone would let you come dump your scraps!

awesome. I am not sure if I have room for that, but I can look into clearing out the space under my sink and seeing if my dad (Mr Power Tools) will help me make that thing

Good luck!

I think some people do indoor composting with earthworms, too.

I'll run it by my husband, but I don't think he'd mind if you added to our compost pile. We live in N. Hyde Park, near Union Hill.

hahaha you guys are hilarious! I actually just ran into my friend at Planters 20 minutes after posting this and he said I could bring my stuff down to their compost pile! But I will definitely let you know if that doesn't work out ;)

There's also a recycling center near Front Street and Chouteau Trafficway: Kansas City Community Recycling Center, 4707 Deramus, KC, MO. For other options, check the MARC's RecycleSpot Website. It looks like this place might take your composting materials, according to MARC's website.

For some reason I kept thinking that address was the closed one off Troost.

And that site was one I looked at for composting, but when I looked for locations, it just seemed to list people who carried the worms. Not real helpful.

Re: Recycling jferg April 19 2008, 19:09:27 UTC

Nope, the Deramus site is still open, or at least was last weekend.
