Programs
To reduce the amount of organic material going to the landfill, the Township of McNab/Braeside partnered with FoodCycle Science to host a pilot program for McNab/Braeside residents with the FoodCycler electric food waste recycler in the Spring of 2024.
Based on the success of the first offering, the Township is looking to determine the amount of interest in this program and to ensure enough units are ordered if we proceed to a second phase.
The basics of the pilot program is:
FoodCycle Science offers a Municipal Pilot Program that is subsidized and supported by Impact Canada through funding received from the Government of Canada. Through this collaboration, the Township can secured units for purchase by Township residents at a much-reduced price.
· Purchase a FoodCycler unit at a cost of $150.00 (FoodCycler FC-30), $200.00 (FoodCycler Eco 3) and $300.00 (FoodCycler Eco 5) plus HST
· Track the number of cycles over a 12-week period
· Complete a survey at the end of the 12-week period
If you are a Township of McNab/Braeside resident and are interested in purchasing one of the Foodcycler units, please register through the Township’s Programs page by October 8th and select which unit would best suit your household. If there is sufficient interest in a second phase of this program, all residents that are registered to the waiting list will be notified about how to proceed with the purchase of a unit.
