Zero Waste Marin is running a pilot program with Mill to make recycling your food scraps easier.

What is Mill?

Mill provides an effortless — and odorless — way to keep your kitchen clean, while helping Marin County keep organics out of landfills. The Mill food recycler shrinks your food scraps by 80%, works while you sleep, and turns them into nutrient-rich grounds that can be easily emptied into your Zero Waste Marin compost bin. The best part? It takes weeks to fill, which means fewer trips to the curb.

Why we’re piloting Mill

Zero Waste Marin is piloting Mill as an easy way to deal with food scraps. Studies show that Mill meaningfully increases the overall tonnage of food scraps diverted from landfills and drastically reduces contamination — all by changing the way users interact with food scraps.

Who qualifies?

Up to 125 Marin residents and organizations may receive a free Mill food recycler (retail value of $999), if meeting one of the following criteria:

• Low-income resident (single- or multi-family housing), or
• Non-profit organization serving Marin

Participants will also be asked to complete surveys about their experience to help Zero Waste Marin understand the effectiveness of the pilot program.
