Let's be honest, food waste smells, and it also takes up a lot of room in your garbage can. So right here at Milk Street, we use a food recycler called Mill, and it really is a game changer. First off, it looks great. It stands right in our kitchen, and it handles a ton of volume. It can process 10 pounds of scraps overnight. Not like one of those small countertop appliances we've also tried. We process almost everything and anything, potato peels, avocado pits, chicken bones, really scary [chuckles] leftovers from last week, old lettuce, even dairy. Mill quietly grinds those scraps into nutrient-rich, shelf-stable grounds overnight. There's no mess, there's no smells, there's no fruit flies. Now, it can work literally for weeks before you even have to think about emptying it. You can use the grounds in your garden, add them to a curbside compost, or Mill can even pick them up and get them to a small farm near you. Try Mill risk-free for 90 days and get $75 off at mill.com/milkstreet, and use code MILKSTREET at checkout. Mill.com/milkstreet, and please use code MILKSTREET.
