Living at Mac
Our Community
Mother Earth Coffee provides great recycling and compost bins around the neighborhood. We know that apartment recycling is sometimes difficult due to the nature of apartment living, but we also know that most of our residents are environmentally conscious. There are skip hire services available as well, but we thought it would be a good idea to give residents all the local drop off locations as well as some additional info regarding recycling in KC – specifically our neighborhood.
