Mill and Compost Crew
Mill, a company renowned for its innovative food recycling system, has announced a partnership with Compost Crew, the largest organics recycling company in the Mid-Atlantic region. This collaboration, revealed on October 15, 2025, aims to enhance food scrap recycling services across Maryland, Northern Virginia, and Washington, D.C. By combining Mill’s cutting-edge technology with Compost Crew’s established pick-up service and local composting infrastructure, the two organizations intend to streamline food waste management in urban areas.
The partnership leverages Mill’s award-winning food recycling system, which converts food scraps into valuable compost. This process not only reduces landfill waste but also contributes to sustainable agriculture practices. Compost Crew, with its extensive experience in organics recycling, will facilitate the collection of food scraps from businesses and residences, ensuring that the material is processed efficiently.
Combining Expertise for a Sustainable Future
The collaboration addresses a growing need for effective food waste management solutions in metropolitan areas. According to the Environmental Protection Agency, food waste is a significant contributor to greenhouse gas emissions, accounting for approximately 22% of municipal solid waste. By diverting food scraps from landfills, this new service aims to significantly reduce environmental impact.
Mill’s innovative technology allows for the rapid breakdown of organic matter, making composting more efficient. The partnership will enable Compost Crew to enhance its service offerings, providing customers with an environmentally friendly option for managing food waste. Residents and businesses across the Mid-Atlantic will have access to a seamless process that promotes recycling and sustainability.
Impact on Local Communities
This initiative is expected to have a positive impact on local communities by promoting a culture of sustainability and responsible waste management. By encouraging participation from both businesses and households, the partnership aims to foster awareness about the benefits of composting. As the demand for sustainable practices increases, Mill and Compost Crew are positioning themselves as leaders in the food recycling industry.
The expanded service is anticipated to launch in early 2026, with specific details on service areas and pricing set to be announced later. Both companies emphasize their commitment to making food waste recycling accessible and efficient, which aligns with broader environmental goals.
Mill and Compost Crew’s partnership represents a significant step forward in addressing food waste challenges in the Mid-Atlantic region. By bringing together their expertise, the two organizations are set to create a more sustainable and responsible approach to food recycling, benefiting both the environment and local communities.
