How does a garbarator affect the sewer lines?
We don’t recommend you use a garbarator for several reasons. When kitchen scraps are disposed using a garbarator, they ultimately end up at the wastewater treatment plant. At the treatment plant, most of the organic material is removed by the screens at the front of the plant and sent to the landfill. The biodegradable benefits of the organic materials are lost at this point and the material isn’t suitable for composting. This not only increases the amount of materials that have to be sent to landfill, but also increases wastewater treatment costs.
