Foodcycler Pilot Project

Town of Drayton Valley 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!

The Town has secured FoodCycler units that will be made available to Town residents and businesses on a first-come-first-serve basis. 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!

This second pilot project was approved by Town Council during the February 8, 2023, Regular Meeting of Council and is based on last year’s successful pilot program in Drayton Valley!

Participants will be provided with a simple tracking sheet to track how often they run the FoodCycler in a 12-week period beginning in April 2023. 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!

FoodCycler Benefits:

  • Reduces waste volume by up to 90%
  • Quiet, compact, and odourless operation
  • Easy to clean, easy to operate, no special training or skills required
  • Relatively quick process and available year-round (compared to composting)
  • Produces valuable soil amendment that is fully-dry, low in odour and less attractive to wildlife
  • Low emissions compared to direct landfilling (reduced methane production, low power consumption, no transport emissions)

Dates

This pilot project will run from April to June 2023. The cost to participating residents will be $150+GST or $300+GST based on the FoodCycler model chosen. The larger models can also be grouped into 3 or 5 to serve commercial applications!

Participating residents can also purchase FoodCycler accessories at Julie’s Windows, Kitchens, Bed & Bath Ltd (5132 – 50 Street, Drayton Valley).

Register Now!

To participate in the pilot project, residents will register through the online webform, available here. Payment and pick-up details will be provided via email following your registration.
