Municipal water departments should ban garbage disposals

[Miigwech]

The one's in your kitchen sinks. This would save millions of dollars around the US. Communities should set up curbside collections of this material and compost it. My community is facing big money to fix our water plant. Stopping the water flow from food stuffs from entering the plants would help a lot. Would save water as well.

1. Our city has initiated

a compost service. It's relatively new... we'll see how it goes. I just got my bin last week.

8. I just remodeled my kitchen

and didn't install a garbage disposal or a dishwasher.

4. Ahhh, darn.

My disposal and dishwasher both broke down about nine years ago, and I only got around to replacing them this past fall.

I could do without the disposal, but I would hate to give up the dishwasher. My dishes simply haven't been this clean in years.

5. Our garbage disposal died many years ago.

It was leaking and we didn't have any money to spare at the time so I replaced with an ordinary drain, matching the one on the other side of the sink. It cost me about ten dollars.

Our plumbing used to clog up regularly when we had a garbage disposal. It hasn't since.

I'm mostly vegetarian, and my wife is vegetarian approaching vegan. We compost all our kitchen waste.

I wouldn't buy a garbage disposal again, even though we can afford it.
