Give it to Others

Donate your Foodilizer to local farmers, community gardens, or garden centers.

Frequently asked questions

Will the Eco 3 attract pests (flies, rodents, etc.) the way a compost bin or trash can might?

No, our kitchen countertop/cabinet bio-waste recycler is thoughtfully designed with carbon filters that eliminate odors. Enjoy a pleasant, pest-free household!

How does the Eco 3 help reduce or eliminate bad odors?

The carbon filters in this bio-waste recycling machine trap and absorb odor-causing molecules in your food before they hit the air.

Can using the Eco 3 reduce the volume of trash/frequency of garbage trips?

Yes, using the Eco 3 reduces the amount of bio-waste that decomposes in landfills and produces greenhouse gases. It’s a local solution to a global problem, empowering you to take ownership of individual household bio-waste and manage it easily and efficiently.

How much waste can it handle?

The Eco 3 bio-waste recycling machine can handle up to 3.5 liters of bio-waste in a single cycle.

Which FoodCycler is right for my household?

The Eco 3 is best for households with 1 to 3 people, while the Eco 5 is perfect for households with 4+ people.

How often do I need to replace the activated charcoal in my refillable filter?

On average, you’ll want to replace and refill the charcoal in your filter every three or four months, depending on how much you use your kitchen recycler and what you put in it. If you’re noticing smells before the three-month mark, you’ll want to fill it with new charcoal.

How much electricity does the Eco 3 bio-waste recycling machine use?

Each cycle uses about 0.9 kWh per cycle, which is roughly equivalent to running a desktop computer for the same period of time.

How long does it take to run a cycle?

The time needed depends on the amount of bio-waste being processed, the density of the bio-waste and the moisture levels contained in each. The typical Eco 3 cycle takes between 4-9 hours to recycle bio-waste into Foodilizer.

How easy is it to clean my Eco 3 bucket?

If the blades in your bio-waste recycling machine are not restricted from moving by debris, you can simply keep adding your scraps and FoodCycler as usual. If there is dried waste stuck to the side of the bucket, soak it in warm, soapy water to remove it.

Where can I place my bio-waste recycling machine?

Add your bio-waste recycler to your kitchen countertop, inside a cabinet, or anywhere that is convenient for you and has an outlet. You can always move the bucket closer to your workspace for food scraps, if needed.
