Mill, a leader in innovative food recycling solutions, has teamed up with Compost Crew, the largest organics recycling company in the Mid-Atlantic region, to introduce a new food recycling service. This partnership aims to enhance food scrap recycling efforts across Maryland, Northern Virginia, and Washington, D.C. The announcement was made on October 15, 2025.
The collaboration merges Mill’s advanced food recycling technology with Compost Crew’s established food scraps pick-up service and local composting facilities. As urban areas increasingly seek sustainable waste management solutions, this initiative is expected to significantly bolster recycling rates in the region.
Enhancing Local Sustainability Efforts
The new service will provide residents and businesses with a straightforward way to recycle food waste. With a focus on convenience, Compost Crew will facilitate regular pick-ups, ensuring that food scraps are efficiently collected and transported to Mill’s processing centers.
According to industry estimates, food waste contributes to approximately 30% of the waste stream in urban areas. The partnership between Mill and Compost Crew aims to combat this issue by promoting responsible recycling practices and diverting organic waste from landfills.
Mill’s technology allows for the transformation of food scraps into valuable compost, which can then be utilized to enrich soil in agricultural and landscaping applications. This process not only reduces landfill waste but also supports local agriculture and green spaces.
Impact on the Community
Residents in the targeted areas will have access to easy-to-use recycling bins and scheduled pick-up services. By integrating these solutions into everyday life, the partnership hopes to foster a culture of sustainability within the community.
“This partnership is a significant step towards a greener future for our urban centers,” said a spokesperson for Compost Crew. “We are excited to bring this service to the Mid-Atlantic and help our communities make a positive environmental impact.”
The Mill and Compost Crew initiative reflects growing awareness of environmental sustainability and the importance of reducing food waste. As cities continue to expand, the need for effective waste management solutions becomes increasingly critical.
With the launch of this service, both companies are poised to lead the charge in transforming waste into resources, benefitting local communities and the environment alike. The collaboration stands as a testament to innovative approaches in the realm of sustainability, showcasing how businesses can work together to achieve common goals.
