The current program is now closed as we have hit our maximum of 100 units sold. Moving forward, the County of Grande Prairie is maintaining a waitlist to determine if there is enough interest to run another pilot program following the completion of the current pilot.

|
The County of Grande Prairie has entered into an agreement with Food Cycle Science to establish a pilot program that would allow for 100 FoodCycler machines to be purchased by residents of the County at a discounted cost of $150 plus GST (FC-30 Model – Regularly $500) or $300 plus GST (Eco 5 Model – Regularly $800) in exchange for recording their usage over the course of the program. Once the pilot program is complete, the FoodCycler machine is yours to keep! The pilot program will run for 12 weeks tentatively beginning on July 22, 2024, and ending on October 14, 2024*. Each household that receives a FoodCycler will be asked to track how many “cycles” they run their FoodCycler through each week. For example, if you fill your FoodCycler up with organic waste and run the machine once per day for a week, you will mark down that you ran your unit 7 times. This tracking allows FoodCycle Science and the Municipality to estimate the total waste diversion achieved over the 12-week pilot program. At the end of the 12 weeks, participants are asked to fill out an exit survey, providing their review of the program and any other feedback they may have. The survey results are used to evaluate the program's success. This pilot program has several benefits for the County of Grande Prairie, such as an opportunity to trial a home-based food waste diversion solution at a cost well below market prices and increasing waste diversion rates, therefore, decreasing waste disposal costs. |
