Disposals

A garbage disposal or food waste disposer and waste disposal unit is an electrically-powered device that is installed under a kitchen sink. A garbage disposal works to shred food waste into pieces small enough to pass through your home's plumbing system.

There has been an increasingly problematic issue associated with the disposal of leftover food as it relates to municipal waste disposal, public health concerns, sanitation and environmental problems. If you treat food waste as a liquid, then modern wastewater plants can more effectively process the organic solids, which is an environmental boost. This also minimizes the amount of waste that will eventually end up in landfills.
