Mill compost bin

Reducing food waste

Mill bins –– a new type of compost bin –– are being tested in select rooms at the Rob and Melani Walton Center for Planetary Health, Biodesign Institute and University Services Building.

Mill bins offer a cleaner and more efficient solution. Food scraps, including small bones and avocado pits, are accepted –– liquids, packaging, large bones and nonfood items are not.

Adopting this technology helps ASU in its mission to reduce landfill waste and greenhouse gas emissions, and advance a circular food system.
