Frequently Asked Questions
Uneaten food is the most common material in landfills and most of it comes from our homes. When that food rots, it produces methane, a greenhouse gas that is 80x more potent than carbon dioxide over a 20-year period.

Composting is a form of biological digestion that breaks down organic material and takes weeks or months, not hours or days. Be wary of any claims to the contrary. The food-recycling Mill isn’t a composting device. The Food Grounds that come out of the bin are still food, minus the water, bulk, odor, and ick. The Mill is designed to conserve all the potential in your food scraps, not break them down, so they can have a second life.
On top of that, we designed the Mill to be so much more practical and convenient than any other way of managing food scraps.
Large capacity: add food scraps to your bin all day, every day. The bucket can collect dry, compact Food Grounds for weeks without having to be emptied.
Automatic cycle: the bin runs at a set time every day, zero effort required.
Odor filtration: the filter is packed with 6 lbs of charcoal and lasts up to a year depending on your household.
App: see what’s happening inside your bin, create a custom schedule, track energy efficiency, and get alerts when there’s something you need to pay attention to. Otherwise, your bin will do its thing.
Impact tracking: see the amount of food scraps you’re adding and learn ways to improve your climate impact over time.
As a general rule of thumb, if it comes off your cutting board or plate, you can Mill it!
Here are some examples:
Small bones (like chicken or fish)
Fruits
Vegetables
Rinds, peels, pits
Meat, dairy, eggs
Coffee grounds
Things that don’t belong in the bin:
Large bones (like beef, lamb, or pork)
Hard shells
Large amounts of liquid, grease, or oil
Large amounts of sugar, cake, or cookies
Large amounts of fibrous or starchy material that aren't cut up into smaller pieces beforehand (e.g. corn husks, artichokes)
Houseplants or flowers
Drugs or medicine
Compostable plastics, packaging
Take-out containers, paper plates
Moldy meat
Questionable leftovers (if they're more mold-than-food, it shouldn’t go in)
You can see the complete list in our Food Library by downloading the Mill app (learn how here).
Charcoal refills are currently included for Mill subscriptions. If you buy your Mill, a charcoal filter that lasts 12+ months ($89 value) is included. Each refill lasts for 12+ months, depending on use.
Our activated charcoal filters utilize 2 million square meters of surface area to absorb any and all odors. Even better, they’re made from upcycled coconut shells, typically considered a waste item.
Your Mill shouldn’t smell. If you’re noticing a vinegar-y smell while the bin is running, it's time to replace your charcoal filter. In the Mill app, you can go to Menu > Device > Charcoal filter to order a replacement.Answer
