GeekWire reporter Lisa Stiffler tested a Mill composting bin in her Seattle kitchen — and got the attention of her cat, Rushmore, during the process. (GeekWire Photo / Lisa Stiffler)I don’t like food waste. One of my mottos is, “No food left behind.” I’ll toast the heel of the bread loaf and microwave sketchy leftovers from the fridge (luckily I have a strong stomach). The items that really can’t be eaten I dutifully deposit in our yard waste bin, which Seattle Public Utilities collects for converting into garden compost that’s sold locally. So I was definitely interested to learn about Mill Industries, a startup that takes composing a step further by turning household food waste into a chicken feed ingredient. Based in San Bruno, Calif., Mill has its chicken feed RD facility in the Seattle area
