City of Brandon FoodCycler Multi-Family Pilot Program

The FoodCycler is a countertop organic waste processor. This appliance uses a combination of grinding, heating, and aeration to break down organic waste in just a few hours, reducing its volume by up to 90%. This results in a more manageable and environmentally friendly product that can be used in gardens or as soil enrichment. 

The City will offer 100 FoodCycler units on a first-come, first-served basis to eligible residents. Please note that submitting a registration does not guarantee a FoodCycler 

[Include registration link]

If selected, you will receive a confirmation email from FoodCycler with full program details. 

After receiving confirmation and an invoice, you must complete payment upon receiving an invoice before pick up date to secure your FoodCycler. 

Pick Up Your FoodCycler

Once the City receives the FoodCycler units (late August early Sept), you will be notified when they are ready for pick-up. At that time, you’ll receive:

• Your FoodCycler unit
• Resident Guide
• Tracking sheet
• Instructions on how to use the unit

Important: Pick-up details (location, dates, and times) will be shared here and sent to you once they are finalized.

Track Usage and Complete Final Survey

Use your FoodCycler and log your cycles for 12 weeks, then submit your tracking data and feedback via the final survey.

The link to the tracking sheet and survey will be provided in your resident guide and will also be available on this page.

After the Program

Once you finish the 12 weeks and complete the survey, the FoodCycler is yours to keep permanently.

Resident: $100, includes shipping and taxes

Each FoodCycler cycle uses approximately 1.5 kWh of electricity. On average, you’ll use about 1 kWh per kilogram of food waste processed. 

For a two-person household using the FoodCycler regularly, that’s around $2 per month on their hydro bill.
