Fill it all day. It runs overnight. Here’s the whole cycle, morning to morning.
A better way to deal with wasted food
Mill takes the worst job in the kitchen off your hands. It isn’t a compost bin, and it isn’t trash. It’s a food recycler: scraps go in and quietly become something wonderful, instead of wasteful.
Morning
Scrape the cutting board, let the kids clear their plates, clean out the fridge. Mill knows when food scraps are added. Mill Plus has a precision scale that is accurate enough to weigh a single strawberry.
Midday
Lunch leftovers, sandwich crusts, the last few bites nobody wanted. More goes in, and your kitchen remains odorless. The state-of-the-art odor filter traps 99.9% of odors. Keeping your kitchen fresh and free from pests.
“I bought this because I was tired of stinky garbage. I love it. There is no smell from the Mill and no more smell from the garbage.”
Cindy S.
Afternoon
Avocado pits, coffee grounds, wilted bouquets, an entire Thanksgiving dinner. Mill can handle practically anything.
Okay to add

Fruits & veggies

Not okay
Hard shells
Large bones

Evening
By dinner, the bucket has taken on the full day’s worth of scraps — and will be ready for more by morning. Mill shrinks its contents down every night, meaning the 6.5 liter bucket can hold weeks of scraps. Most families go a month before they empty it.
“We used to have a countertop composter and it was not able to handle the volume or variety of foods the Mill can manage.”
Kirsten H.
Bedtime
When you go to sleep, Mill goes to work. Smart Cycles run automatically every night, so you don’t have to think about it — or worry about electricity usage. Mill uses the same electricity as a single dishwasher session.
“Every day we load it up with food scraps and the next morning it has all vanished. No smells in the kitchen, and emptying the bin is very easy, which we only need to do about once per month.”
Daniel E.
Overnight
Your day’s worth of food scraps shrinks by 80%. Steel augers break down even bones and avocado pits into a coffee ground-like powder. The dry-and-grind cycle stops the rot and smell at the source.
By the end of day one
No smells. Less trash. And Mill takes its place next to your fridge, as the appliance you reach for most.
“It’s one of those products that quickly becomes part of your everyday routine, and you’ll wonder how you managed without it.”
Tracey S.
A second life for your food
Mill transforms your uneaten food into nutrient-rich Food Grounds which have many uses — both at home and in your community.
“This is my favorite thing in the kitchen — it blows my mind every time. There’s no smell and it’s like magic. Feeds chickens, compost and the garden!”
Most families keep filling it for weeks before it needs a trip to the curb. Mill runs quiet cycles overnight, sized to whatever you’ve added, so you’re managing scraps once a month instead of every night.
Nope. A built-in filtration system captures 99.9% of odor molecules, so you may just forget what garbage even smells like.
Barely any. Mill uses about 0.7 kWh a day on average, adjusting each cycle to your load and skipping days when there’s not much to process. At typical electricity rates, that’s roughly $4 a month, less than half the cost of running a dishwasher.
It depends on your model. For Mill Plus, plan on about once a year for typical use. For Mill Essential, it’s closer to every six months. The Mill app will let you know when it’s time.
