Do garburators put excess strain on waste management?
Do garburators put excess strain on waste management?
I feel in the suburbs where you have cookie cutter houses that all have garburators it must add a little bit of load. How does it compare to municipally run composting?

I have never heard garbage disposal called that before
As a Canadian, I’ve never heard it called a Garbage Disposal before. Garbage disposal here is done by two guys and a truck once a week.
Garbage disposal is really not a very intuitive name. Always confused me as a kid. I like “garbeurator” but I also had no idea what it meant when I saw it. We need an objectively transparent name for these things! “In-sink masticator?”
One of the popular brands is the insinkerator. I always thought that was a good name for it.
For a long time as a kid I thought those were In-sink Erators, and that an Erator was something that blended garbage.
I distinctly remember telling a plumber my parents had called "I think its the erator" and him just nodding and smiling 😅
Canadians have garbage cans. USians have trash cans. Just the way it is...
Per Wikipedia They are in 3% of Canadian homes, and 50% of American homes.
I’ve got all the wiring etc. for one, but chose not to install, opting for municipal composting instead. The odd time that I need to macerate, I just run stuff through my blender.
Municipal composting is great. For anyone with a yard, home composting is the new hotness.
