How to empty your Mill

When to empty your food recycler

You’ll know it’s time to empty your bucket when the Food Grounds reach the gray (2nd gen.) or green (1st gen.) fill line. It usually takes a couple weeks for most households to fill their bin. You’ll get a reminder in the app and with a green pulsing lid LED to check the fill line when your Food Grounds weigh 9 lbs or more, which usually means it's getting full. Please make sure that your Food Grounds are fully dry and cooled down before emptying!

Remove the bucket from your bin

1. Lift the lid and then lift up the bucket cover.
2. Use the green bucket handle to pull the bucket out of the food recycler. Be careful, it might be heavy.
