How to replace your charcoal filter

Heads up that this might be a little dusty. Consider doing this outside or over a trashcan.

Replace and recycle the charcoal in your canister

1. Open the rear door of the bin
2. Remove the old canister and follow directions below to recycle
   1. Pop open the lid (like paint can) using a flat head screwdriver or butter knife
   2. Put the spent charcoal in the garbage. We know this doesn't feel quite right, but it's okay! Burying charcoal is a form of carbon sequestration, so putting it in the trash won’t add emissions.
   3. Peel off and dispose of the foam along the top edge
   4. Place the metal canister and lid in the recycling
3. Take off the packaging and stickers from the replacement canister
4. Put the canister in the door and return it to the back of the bin

Swap your old filter for your new one

1. Press the back panel of your kitchen bin to access your charcoal canister.

2. Remove the old charcoal canister from your kitchen bin and place it aside. Be careful — it might be a little dusty.

3. Grab your new canister and remove it from the shipping box. It may look a little pre-loved. That’s because it was used by another Mill customer and we refurbished it for you.
4. Peel off the sticker completely from top to bottom - you may want to do this over the sink as it can be a little messy.
5. Place the new canister in your kitchen bin in the same location as your old canister.
6. Replace the back panel, snapping it into place.
