FoodCycler Program

Selwyn Township is launching another FoodCycler™ Pilot Program! The pilot program is a partnership between the Township and a Canadian company, Food Cycle Science, to pilot an on-site, residential food waste diversion program in Selwyn Township.

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.

The FoodCycler™ Pilot Program

The FoodCycler Pilot Program will help measure the feasibility of using FoodCyclers to support at home composting in Selwyn Township. The pilot program is 12 weeks long. Participants will have their choice of three FoodCycler units, the FoodCycler FC-30 for $150 (+HST), the FoodCycler Eco 3 for $200 (+HST), or the FoodCycler Eco 5 for $300 (+HST). During the 12-week period, you will be asked to track how many times a week you ran your FoodCycler. Your FoodCycler will be shipped directly to your home and you can start tracking when your FoodCycler is delivered.

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