If you have a garburator, how has your use of it changed since being part of the pilot project?

Organics collection is far more efficient than using a garburator since more items can be properly disposed of and it’s more environmentally friendly. 

Meats, bones, egg shells, paper towel and soiled paper can be disposed of in an organics collection program, whereas these items definitely should not be sent through a garburator. You risk damaging the garburator or plumbing, resulting in unwanted costs or replacements. 

Disposing of fats, oils, grease, and meat products along with other food products down the drain can result in unwanted sewer blockages and sewer backup which can pose potential health risks and be quite costly to clean up. 

Using a garburator consumes a significant amount of water which is certainly an unwise use of water and can impact the cost of your utility bill.
