In 2024, Hanover and Food Cycle Science, a Canadian company, offered an innovative food composting solution in the form of FoodCyclerTM units. The partnership allowed Hanover residents the opportunity to participate in an on-site food waste diversion solution to reduce the amount of organic waste headed to the landfill. The Town offered 100 FoodCyclerTM units at a subsidized rate for residents, on a first come first serve basis.
