My motion at council today.
Time to pull the plug on garburators.
It's not just the cost borne by taxpayers for clogged sewers or wastewater treatment of otherwise divert-able organics; in multi unit buildings in-sink disposals can result expensive blockages & floods.

They should put garburators in showers. And they should promote safety and efficiency by super overbuilding them with massive motors so they can spend less time mashing up the hair. Also the drain should be human sized so the water gets out of the tub faster

I learned from Alec technologyconnections that they make ones with garburators so they don't need to be cleaned, but that's far from standard and I've never seen one.

Yeah they're known as garburators in Canada, almost nobody has them (I've never seen one). But I find just emptying your trash regularly makes it a non-issue. Plus where I am we have a compost system now.

Underground garbage & recycling transport tubes have been used in some cities for decades. Before that, kitchen sink garburators ground up food scraps & transported through underground sewer lines.
Wasteful to mix excellent local fertilizer with toxic materials then discard it. Keep it separate.

I can't really blame you. Garburators were basically entirely phased out by 1990 and replaced by electronic food injection systems which offer significant improvements in efficiency.
