Revolutionizing Trash Collection for Texas: Food Cycle Science and Waste Connections Team Up with Canton, Texas to Combat Food Waste
CANTON, Mass. and OTTAWA, ON, Nov. 21, 2024 /CNW/ - Food Cycle Science Corporation ("Food Cycle Science" or "FCS") is excited to announce a new partnership with Waste Connections ("WC"), a leading provider of solid waste management services including collection, transfer, recycling, and disposal, and the City of Canton, Texas. This collaboration marks the first FoodCycler x Waste Connections program, setting a new standard for sustainable trash and recycling collection services for municipalities.
FCS's FoodCycler® is an award-winning electric food waste recycler that transforms food scraps into a dry, odorless by-product. This innovative technology helps eliminate methane emissions that typically occur when food waste decomposes in landfills. By converting organic waste into a nutrient-rich material, the FoodCycler® not only helps mitigate environmental impact but also supports sustainable waste management practices in households.
"Waste Connections is excited to partner with Food Cycle Science to bring cutting-edge food waste solutions to the communities we serve. By introducing FoodCycler technology to our municipal customers, Waste Connections sets itself apart by offering tangible cost-effective solutions to pressing environmental challenges," said Steve Berry, Municipal Sales & Relations Manager at Waste Connections – Southern Region.
"The City of Canton deserves high praise for their visionary leadership in launching the very first FoodCycler x Waste Connections program in Texas. By embracing this solution, Canton is not only addressing the critical issue of food waste but also setting a powerful example for other municipalities to follow. This forward-thinking approach demonstrates a strong commitment to environmental sustainability and the well-being of the community. We commend Canton for taking proactive steps to reduce waste, improve our Texas soil, and contribute to a more sustainable vision for their city."
"We are thrilled to partner with Waste Connections and the City of Canton on this groundbreaking initiative," said Bradley Crepeau, CEO of Food Cycle Science. "Canton's forward-thinking leadership is setting a powerful example for other municipalities by adopting innovative solutions to food waste management. By leveraging the FoodCycler technology, Canton is not only achieving net new diversion from landfills but also doing so in a cost-effective manner that benefits both the environment and taxpayers. This program proves that sustainability and fiscal responsibility can go hand in hand, paving the way for other cities to follow suit."
