Many people only dispose of food scraps in the trash. However, with a garbage disposal installation, you can get rid of the scraps you produce during food prep right at your sink. If you are on the fence about getting one of these devices, review the benefits below. 

4 Benefits of a Garbage Disposal Installation

1. Produces Less Trash

A garbage disposal lightens your trash load and helps your kitchen smell better. Items such as veggie peelings and eggshells can go right into the disposal drain to be ground and flushed as greywater. 

2. Helps Plumbing

The device will shred the contents that end up in the drain to ensure water passes through the pipes easily. However, be aware that there are a few items that shouldn’t go into a disposal, such as cooking oil, coffee grounds, rice, or popcorn, because these types of foods can cause clogs.

3. Reduces Landfill Waste

Disposal waste is returned to the ecosystem through a municipal sewer treatment plant or your septic system. Particles can biodegrade and eventually become compost or fertilizer, rather than having to sit in plastic bags at a landfill. 

4. Is Convenient

Not only does a disposal reduce trash, but it also makes kitchen cleanup and food preparation easier. You can simply drop organic items into your sink, helping you avoid spills as you cross the room to your garbage can.

Garbage disposals are easy to maintain if you avoid the problematic foods mentioned above. Clean yours using vinegar or baking soda and cold water.
