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.

"The City of Canton deserves high praise for their visionary leadership in launching the very first FoodCycler x Waste Connections program in Texas. By embracing this solution, Canton is not only addressing the critical issue of food waste but also setting a powerful example for other municipalities to follow. 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."
