Have you heard the news? Gander is getting greener!

The Town has partnered with FoodCycle Science to offer compost units at a subsidized rate in exchange for recording your usage and providing feedback on your experience.

There are three models available:

FC-30: $150 + HST

Eco-3: $200 + HST

Eco-5: $300 + HST

The FoodCycler is a countertop composter that uses heat to grind down unwanted food scraps much faster than a traditional backyard composter - one cycle takes about 4-9 hours to produce a nutrient filled mulch.

The food waste recycler turns wet, smelly waste into a dry, sterile odourless fertilizer that - instead of being dumped in landfills to break down into harmful methane gases - can be added directly to your garden!

It’s not too late to participate! Registration will remain open until all available spots have been filled. Visit https://bit.ly/FCGander to claim yours today to participate in a greener tomorrow!

Units are also available for purchase at the Town Hall. Call 709-651-5954 for more information.
