In 2025, Selwyn Township ran its second year of the FoodCycler™ Pilot Program. Subsidies were offered to residents in partnership with FoodCycle Science to offset the cost of a kitchen composter. This program supplements waste diversion efforts in the Township and reduces the amount of organic waste going to landfill. Each FoodCycler™ has the potential to divert 2 tonnes of food waste over its lifetime.

Each year, 250 households participated, totaling 500 homes in Selwyn. Check out the Report Card for details on how the Pilot Program went!

Thank you again for participating in the Township's program and reducing organic waste in your community!

    Selwyn Township has launched a FoodCycler™ Pilot Program will help measure the feasibility of using FoodCyclers™ to support at home composting in Selwyn Township. This program will improve the diversion of organic materials, which helps to protect the environment and extend the lifespan of local landfills.

    The pilot program is 8 weeks long, running from February 27 to April 24, 2023. Participants will have their choice of two FoodCycler™ units, the original FoodCycler™ FC-30 for $169.50 or the new FoodCycler™ Maestro for $339. During the 8-week period, participants will be asked to track how many times a week they run their FoodCycler™ and complete a short survey at the end of the pilot period.

    Participants will receive a FoodCycler™ Information Guide and Pilot Project Tracking sheet with their FoodCycler™. Participating households will keep their FoodCycler™ following the pilot period.

    See the Pilot Program Flyer or Resident Guide for more information.
