Uneaten food is the most common material in landfills and most of it comes from our homes. When that food rots, it produces methane, a greenhouse gas that is 80x more potent than carbon dioxide over a 20-year period.
Based on our preliminary study, you can avoid about a half-ton of greenhouse gas emissions per year when you opt into Mill pickups. Instead of filling the air with methane, your kitchen scraps are used for a variety of purposes, such as making compost, and food for chickens.
