Is organics recycling better than using a food waste disposer?
Yes, collecting household organic material and converting it to a useful product – compost, is more cost effective and environmentally sound than using a food waste disposer. Organic waste placed in a food waste disposer ends up as sewage sludge at wastewater treatment facilities, where it must be processed and incinerated at a much higher cost than recycling. By composting household organic material, Peel can manufacture finished compost, which can be utilized in the horticultural industry and in your own garden.
