Complement to Composting

You know that the little things can add up to big changes. It's why you compost. What you may not realise is that composting, and food waste disposers 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 such as meat, bones and dairy.
Composting is great for gardening and for the environment. An InSinkErator® food waste disposer can complement your efforts by giving you a way to responsibly dispose of the food scraps you can't compost. Our disposers 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.
Food waste disposers 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 food waste disposer 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.
