How to use your Food Grounds

Turn your food scraps into something useful instead of wasteful. Food Grounds are shelf-stable, nutrient-rich, and destined for a higher purpose.

Garden soil mix

Turn your old food into new food. Boost your garden’s soil by mixing in your Food Grounds.

Home compost pile

Food Grounds are not compost...yet! But they do break down faster — add them to your compost pile anytime.

Backyard chicken feed

Turn your scraps into safe, shelf-stable food for chickens — mix them in, serve as a treat, or create your own blend.

Curbside compost bin

If you have a city-provided curbside compost bin, simply empty your Food Grounds into the bin. Voila!

Local pickup service

Check if your community has a pickup service — they often offer benefits like Farm Boxes or compost in return.

Mill Pickups

Mill can get your Food Grounds back to small farms. Empty them into prepaid boxes and schedule pickups via the Mill app.
