More and more homes are using trash compactors for home because they vastly reduce the amount of space taken up by trash. You can save money on bags as well as save yourself the effort and amount of trips out to the trash can.

There’s no way my disposal uses 900 gallons of water a year. I run the disposal about once a day for about 10 seconds as I rinse the sink after discarding as much as possible in our compost bin. Assuming our faucet with an aerator runs at 1.5 gallons per minute, that would be 90 gallons per year. You’d have to run your sink for a long time to use 900 gallons per year even without an aerator. Please check your data.

I agree that composting and less waste is the key to the puzzle here. But a Garbage disposal can help with small food waste that sneaks by. The garbage disposal should help avoid clogged sinks!

This is just the information I wanted before the plumber comes to hook up my new sink. Thanks.( The old disposal is going “bye-bye”.)
