Bridging the Gap

We determine which materials we accept in consultation with our contract partner, the City of KCMO, and the companies that receive the materials we collect. We accept the same materials that are accepted in curbside recycling in KCMO as well as certain other materials for which we have special partnerships in place.

Recyclability is not determined by the waste people produce or even whether the material is technically recyclable. In order to be recycled, materials must be in a form that can be processed, and there must be companies willing to buy the materials and use them to make things.
