Abstract: A hybrid system includes multiple food cycler system that each operate independently. A method of using the hybrid system includes receiving first food waste into a first removable bucket, receiving the first removable bucket into a first processing compartment, starting the first processing compartment to process the first food waste at a first time, receiving second food waste into a second removable bucket, receiving the second removable bucket into a second processing compartment and starting the second processing compartment to process the second food waste at a second time. The first processing compartment and the second processing compartment are configured in a same physical system and the first processing compartment and the second processing compartment each process respectively the first food waste and the second food waste using independent processes and at least one shared resource.
