Environmental Benefits

If food waste is disposed of from landfills it begins to rot and releases methane gas. Methane is a damaging greenhouse gas that has the potential to trigger global warming that is up to 21 times stronger than carbon dioxide as per the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. This is concerning since food waste is rising nearly doubled since the year 1990. The year 2012 saw Americans create 34.7 million tons of waste food. This accounts for more than one-fifth of waste that goes into landfills.

If food scraps are broken into powder and then injected into the water treatment system The treatment process analyzes and eliminates healthy bio-solids that can be utilized as fertilizer for the soil in public areas. Additionally, methane is generated from the organic matter that is decomposing when it is exposed to the process of treatment however, the methane isn't released into the atmosphere. Instead, it is harnessed and transformed into green energy.

Additionally, less food waste in your garbage can result in fewer waste bags that the garbage truck carries. They consume less fuel to transport the food scraps from the house to the landfill. If you are using garbage bags made of compostable material, you will reduce how much plastic is disposed of going into areas landfills too.

Easy Cleanup

Prior to the garbage disposals, kitchen cleaning required scraping every dish in the garbage to prevent the drain from becoming blocked and food particles are able to drain out without a problem.

On a per-year basis, they cost 50 cents in normal operation and use less than one percent of a household's water consumption. It is costly to buy as well as install, the added value will increase the value of your house which is advantageous if you're considering selling your home. Garbage disposal is an efficient kitchen, which is a certain draw to prospective buyers of homes.

A garbage disposal that is blocked can result in leaks or burst pipes. To ensure it is functioning properly be sure to avoid pouring oil, grease, and fats in the drain. These are substances that are sure to block the internal mechanical components and drain line. Don't throw away food items that are fibrous, such as celery and asparagus as the strands could get caught around moving blades and cause them to break. The hard particles such as chicken bones or fruit pits could cause harm as well. Don't put anything into the garbage disposal that is not food-related.

Engage a licensed plumber and put in a garbage disposer at your home. You can immediately start taking advantage of the advantages of sanitary food disposal. Feel satisfied that you have done your part to minimize the amount of food waste that is harmful to your health.
