Mill is a waste prevention technology company reimagining what it means to eliminate waste, starting with food. We build smart systems and infrastructure for homes, businesses, and municipalities that transform food scraps from landfill-bound waste into valuable resources, including chicken feed.

At Mill, we are passionate about building easy-to-use, beautifully designed technologies that keep food in the food system and out of landfills.
