A second life for your food scraps
Mill transforms your uneaten food into nutrient-rich Food Grounds which have many uses — both at home and in your community.
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.
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.
