How to Start a Compost Business?
by Curt
(Kansas City, MO)
I live in Kansas City, MO and I’m interested in starting a composting business using mainly food waste. I am currently looking into grant money, and any other types of funding through the government to see if there is money available. I have a possible business partner with a 40 acre lot available which the business could run on, although it’s far from Kansas City. I am currently researching as much as I can to see what it would take to get up and running.
Does anyone have any advice?

We just released our first interview in our new Pearls from the Pile series. We are traveling across the globe asking compost producers for their advice on starting compost-related businesses. You’re going to love this series. Check it out in our Interviews section.
Enjoy.
