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 composting and garbage disposals 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.
Composting is great for gardening and for the environment. An InSinkErator® garbage disposal can complement your efforts by giving you a way to responsibly dispose of the food scraps you can't compost. Our garbage disposals 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 leftover bread and pasta are attracting unwanted pests, grinding those scraps can also help keep pests out of your compost pile.
Garbage disposals can help you deal with some of the challenges and shortcomings of composting. For people who don't have the time, desire or space to maintain a compost bin, a garbage disposal is an easy way to responsibly dispose of food waste. They're also a year-round solution for disposing of food scraps for people in colder climates who can't compost in winter.
