Why should I participate?

Did you know that up to 50% of household waste is composed of food waste? By helping your municipality address food waste, you are supporting your community’s environmental initiatives, while reducing your carbon footprint.

Resident Benefits of participating in the pilot project:

• Opportunity to own an at-home food waste diversion solution at a cost well below market prices
  
• Support climate change goals by reducing waste going to landfill
  
• Ability to fertilize your garden soil by generating a nutrient-rich soil amendment
  
• Reduce the “ick factor” of garbage to keep animals and vermin away
  
• Reduce trips to the waste site and save on excess waste fees where applicable
