Garbage Disposal | |
---|---|---|
Where food goes: | Food scraps are filtered and sent into under-sink compost bin. | Blades grind food scraps up and sends them down your pipes. |
Septic friendliness: | 100% septic friendly, only liquid enters your pipes. | Not septic-friendly, food goes down pipes into septic tank. |
Handling food: | Works with any food scraps. | Veggie peels, rice, and many other foods damage garbage disposals. |
Clogging pipes: | Only liquids go down pipes to keep them clog-free. | Food gets caught in pipes and clogs over time. |
Water use: | Water is optional. Water drains before sending scraps to the compost bin. | Running water is necessary to lubricate blades and wash food down pipes. |
Safety: | Uses an auger instead of blades, auto detects non-food items. | Uses blades, can cause severe injury if hands are near when activated. |
