Revolutionizing Trash Collection for Texas: Food Cycle Science and Waste Connections Team Up with Canton, Texas to Combat Food Waste

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.

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."

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.
