Complement to Composting
Make a bigger impact on your kitchen, your neighborhood and your environment.
You know that the little things can add up to big changes. It's why you compost. What you may not realize is that garburators and composting share a common enemy: landfills. You're doing everything you can do to keep food waste out of landfills, but it's impossible to compost everything. Meat, dairy, bones and the messy stuff that attracts pests are all things that a garburator can help you keep out of landfill. What's more, today's modern wastewater treatment plants can create fertilizer and energy from the organics in food and human waste.
Composting is great for gardening and for the environment. A food waste disposer by InSinkErator® can complement your efforts by giving you a way to responsibly dispose of the food scraps you can't compost. Our garburators are powerful enough to grind un-compostable meat, bones, dairy and eggs, as well as things like citrus peels, onions and garlic that can deter helpful insects, worms and bacteria from your compost pile. If leftovers are attracting unwanted pests, grinding those scraps can also help keep your compost pile healthy.
For people who don't have the space to maintain a compost bin (i.e in dense urban areas), a garburator is an easy way to responsibly dispose of food waste. Garburators also help in colder climates where you can't compost in winter.
