About the Pilot

Our Residential Pilot Program helps us test routes, logistics, and communications while gathering real feedback from residents. This will allow us to build a scaleable solution to food waste that’s easy, reliable, and designed with our community at the center.

  • This pilot will give us an opportunity to test our routes and communications, gather your feedback, and shape a service that works best for our community. Your participation will directly influence how we grow and serve Canton in the years to come.

  • Participation in the program is easy! Every household will receive:

    • One 5-gallon bucket with an airtight lid for collecting your food scraps(additional buckets can be provided if necessary)
