Foodcycler Program
Food Cycle Science has created this guide as a resource while participating in the pilot program. A FAQ, an itemized list of what can be processed using the FoodCycler™, and a table to track the number of cycles done with the FoodCycler™ over the pilot period is included in the guide.
** Registration has been extended until December 01, 2023! It is the same day for pick-up of recyclers (8am-6pm). If anyone is undecided and would like to come on December 01 for more info and have a look at the recyclers please feel free to do so! Thank You! **
