Tacoma, WA Mill Residential Food Waste Mill Chicken Feed

City residents can register for monthly subscriptions with Mill's collection service. Subscribers receive specialized kitchen bins that shrink and dry food waste. The resulting grounds are sent to Mill using return boxes with free USPS shipping. Mill converts food grounds into chicken feed and shows each subscriber's impact on a dedicated mobile app. Savings from the reduced use of Tacoma's pay-as-you-throw payment model will offset some of each participant's subscription costs.
