In-Sink-Erator Food Waste Disposers - Environmental BenefitsFeatured

Food Waste Disposers are an environmentally sound option for disposing of food waste because they help reduce the amount of waste going to landfill and enable a percentage to be recycled as fertiliser.

A hygienic and convenient method for disposing of food waste, they work by grinding food up into small particles and then using the sewerage system to transport the waste to a sewage treatment plant.

The Results of Scientific Research:

  • Food Waste Disposers are a convenient, effective and environmentally sound option for food waste disposal.
  • Currently in Australia approximately five percent of households have a Food Waste Disposer.
  • Food Waste Disposers are highly unlikely to negatively impact on sewage overflows, sewer clogging, the marine environment, energy consumption and the sewage treatment process when up to 15 per cent of households use one.
  • If 50 per cent of households use one, food waste disposers would contribute less than 0.1% to the sewerage flow.

Healthy Houses

Food scraps attract cockroaches, flies, ants, rats and mice.  As Food Waste Disposers dispose of food waste instantly, they reduce the likelihood of pests being attracted to the kitchen or garbage areas.

Do the Right Thing
Only food scraps should be processed in your Food Waste Disposer.  It is as easy as turning on the cold water tap and rinsing the food scraps straight into your disposer.  No more mess, no more wet garbage.

NEVER PUT OIL OR GREASE DOWN YOUR SINK OR FOOD WASTE DISPOSER. 
Put all oil and grease waste in a sealed container and place it in your garbage bin for collection.
