Big Lakes County is bringing back our FoodCycler Program!
A FoodCycler is an in-home countertop food waste recycler that converts food scraps into nutrient-rich soil amendment in just hours. By purchasing a FoodCycler, residents can reduce food waste, improve sustainability, and create valuable soil amendment for their gardens and yards. Two models will be available for purchase: the FoodCycler Eco 3 for $200 and the Eco 5 for $300.
Registration is open on a first-come, first-served basis, with one unit per Big Lakes County household. Registration form is here!
The FoodCyclers will be available for pickup at the Big Lakes County Administration Office in High Prairie during the Annual County BBQ on June 25. FoodCyclers can also be picked up at the Admin Office in Kinuso. Pickup dates and times will be communicated to residents.
Key Features of the FoodCycler Program:
- Convenient and Eco-friendly: The FoodCycler appliance allows households to dispose of food scraps in a sustainable and efficient way, reducing landfill waste and harmful greenhouse gas emissions.
- Quick Food Waste Processing: In as little as 6–8 hours, the FoodCycler converts food waste into dry, odor-free soil amendment that can be used in gardens, yards, and landscaping projects.
- Supports Big Lakes County’s Sustainability Goals: This initiative aligns with the County’s efforts to reduce its environmental footprint and build a circular economy that benefits residents and the local ecosystem.
