By installing
a waste disposer in your kitchen, you helping to reduce the growing
problem of landfill dumps.
When food
waste is dumped in landfills, bacteria and other harmful organisms
can seep into the ground and contaminate the water table.
With kitchen food waste accounting for 25% of household
waste, using a food waste disposer not only means fewer
trips to the dustbin but also results in substantial reduction
of waste going to landfill.
With a food
waste disposer, food waste is ground into fine particles and safely
flushed into your sewage system. Decades of scientific studies
have shown this to be a sound ecological alternative. At wastewater
treatment facilities, the food waste can be converted into useful
energy, or recycled into agricultural fertilizer.
If used on
average three-times/per day the yearly electric cost would be
lower than 50 Pence. The daily water consumption will be lower
than one flush of toilet.
Other benefits
are a reduction in potential insect and rodent infestation and
obnoxious odours.
