Foodcycler Pilot Project
The Town of Drayton Valley has once again partnered with Canadian company Food Cycle Science to pilot a waste diversion solution that will help reduce the amount of food waste headed to our local landfill! This year, residents or businesses can choose between the 2.5 L, FC-30 model for $150+GST, or the 5.0L, Maestro model for $300+GST. The larger models can also be grouped into 3 or 5 to serve commercial applications!
Participants will be provided with a simple tracking sheet to track how often they run the FoodCycler in a 12-week period. At the end of the 12-week period, we hope participants will continue to use the Foodcycler units to divert food waste from the landfill!
Questions about the program can be directed to Food Cycle Science at info@foodcycler.com

If you are looking increase the capacity of food waste you cycle at home, purchasing a second bucket to fill while running a cycle is a very popular option.
FC-30
Depending on when you purchased your FC-30, it may have come with disposable or the new refillable filters pre-installed. We encourage you to do a quick check to see which version you have before purchasing your refills. Simply try to twist the black cap off one of your two filters. If you have the refillable model, it should come off very easily whereas the cap on the disposable model will not come off. If you have:
Disposable – These are still available for purchase, or you have the option to switch to refillable filters using our one-time conversion kit (FC-30 Refillable Carbon Filter) or conversion bundle that comes with over a year’s supply of carbon pellets.
Refillable – You only ever need to replace the carbon pellets and do not need a conversion kit.
Maestro/Eco 5
If you purchased a FoodCycler Maestro/Eco 5, it came with a refillable filter and you only ever need to replace the carbon pellets.
