Mill is the only food recycler that can get your food back to a farm. Or you can give your grounds to local composters or gardens.
New Yorkers love Mill
I live in a third floor walk-up so taking out the trash less often is great.
Lizzie, NYC
Mill has a remarkable way of gently nudging me towards a more mindful approach to food.
Corey, NYC
As someone struggling to compost in NYC, Mill has removed all the core issues: smell, pests, pileup (the anxiety I'd get from melon leftovers!).
Justina, NYC
Living in a NYC apartment, I don’t need to take the trash out nearly as much because I’m not filling it up as quickly.
Hannah, NYC
I’m in love with Mill! We live in NYC and have been struggling to find a compost alternative and this is it. Love the zero smell, the design, and the ease of use.
