BLR passes By-law approving 2022 municipal budget - no written comments were submitted by public KATRINA BOGUSKI Freelance PALMER RAPIDS - All members of Council were present for the regular meeting of the BLR Town Council, held on June 1. There were no pecuniary interests declared. Council received a delegation from Kassia Régnier, of FoodCycler Municipal Solutions via Zoom. The purpose of the presentation was to introduce the company and its product to Council and ask if they were interested in running a pilot project similar to those being run in other municipalities. With the proposed pilot project, residents would be able to purchase FoodCycler at a subsidized rate from the Township office, or another designated location. Participants in the pilot project would use the unit for a period of 12 weeks. During this time, the number of cycles per week are tracked to estimate the total amount of waste diversion achieved. Upon completion of the trial, participants would be asked to fill out an exit survey; providing their opinion of the program and any other additional feedback. The results of the survey would then be used to evaluate whether the program was successful. The presentation material also noted that there are “…many grants available, including
FCM’s Green Municipal Fund…” Régnier’s presentation also noted that FoodCycler Municipal Solutions is a Canadian company. It is based out of Ottawa, and was originally founded in Cornwall in 2011. According to Régnier, the company is “100% focused on food waste diversion solutions.” The presentation material also stated that, “Products [are] available in North America through FoodCycler Municipal / Vitamix and internationally through network of distributors & OEM partners.” The machine reduces food waste by converting 1 KG (2.5L) of wet food waste into “100 G of dry, sterile and odorless soil amendment.” The process takes four to eight hours to complete and uses 0.8 kWh of electricity; Régnier noted that this amount of energy is about equivalent to running a laptop for the same length of time. Members of Council had several questions including ones about warranty, unit size and filter requirements. Régnier replied to the questions, noting that the warranty is 1 year for the pilot project and in some situations can be extended for up to 12 years. The
