Missoula Compost outlines curbside pickup and industrial processing at Home Resource talk
Summary
Kylie of Missoula Compost told a Home Resource Lunch & Learn audience that the locally owned company offers weekly curbside pickup (5–96 gallon bins), handles meat and certified bioplastics in an industrial process, and sells compostable supplies at a shop adjacent to the event space.
Kylie, a representative of Missoula Compost, told a Home Resource Lunch & Learn audience in Missoula that the company runs weekly curbside collections and an industrial composting process that accepts food scraps, paper, yard material and certified bioplastics. “We’re a locally owned and operated compost company on a mission to make composting easy and accessible for our community,” Kylie said.
She described flexible bin sizes ranging from 5-gallon to 96-gallon and listed additional services including brush removal, soil delivery and one-time pickups. Kylie also noted a retail presence near the event where attendees can buy compostable bags, compostable serving ware and garden soil.
Kylie said the company’s industrial process safely handles materials that backyard composting typically cannot, such as meat, eggs and bones, and presented curbside collection as a way for residents and businesses to keep organics out of the landfill. “When we compost together, we’re not just reducing waste. We’re building a more resilient and sustainable Missoula for all of us,” she said.
The presenter invited attendees with leftover scraps to use an on-site compost bin and directed questions to staff stationed down the hall after the talk. She encouraged attendees to contact Missoula Compost directly for service signups and details about acceptable materials and bin options.
