Of course my garbage disposal had to break THIS way

I don't dump raw garbage in the garbage cans. All my garbage is bagged and sealed before it goes into the garbage can. I have never had to clean my garbage cans in the 25 years I have lived here. I have had to replace cans because the wheels started to come off..

Wow! You know how to look something up in Wikipedia. Nice job!

Ours is able to do their job. Maybe you should replace yours.

You don't read very well either.

That was pretty ridicules. Chlorine is used to remove pathogens not nitrates or phosphates. As soon as a chemist reads this he's going to nail me.

Where do you think the sewer treatment plant dumps all their sludge and solids?

A sink drain screen does the same and they don't use electricity.

There are a lot of things that you don't well either. One of them is logical thinking.

In snipped-for-privacy@att.bizzzzzzzzzzzz defense some municipalities actually encourage using disposals. They use the sludge as a form of bio-fuel. In away, I think that is irresponsible because too much can clog a system. I'd never do it regardless but I guess it does vary per municipality.

No one said anything about cleaning garbage cans, idiot.

So you admit that you have no point.

Here they put it in a huge compost pile, with lawn waste, and sell the compost at HD as "Dillo Dirt". I quit using it as soon as I found out they only do toxicology testing one every 3-5 years. But when I did it made fantastic soil conditioner. I'm more worried about lawn chemicals than the sludge though. No telling what these fools put on their yards.

Hah, ha, aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!! You said the garbage cans attracts flies and critters, . I live in the country. Animals do not get into my garbage, especially raccoons, and they have hands rather than paws. Flies don't bother with garbage sealed in bags in a properly closed can. They'd rather go down the road where there is readily available horseshit and cowshit.

Yes, I admit,. I don't have a point. How is yours?

No, idiot, it's food that attracts flies and critters.

More idiotic irrelevance.

IOW, your house.

Well enough to kick your stupid ass, obviously.

DITTO..I use handle tie bags and seal it up by just tying them...No smell or mess...I take them to the Transfer Station on Saturday morning...

Every plumber I have chatted with over the MANY years on jobsites say the same...Garbage Disposers are not just a waste of money but down right damaging , ESPECIALLY on a septic system...

I've talked to at least 2 (that I can remember) that said the same thing. And, of course the instructors at the Waste Mgt. school said GD overload the treatment systems. But, I was surprised that there is a treatment plant up in MN that actually encourages the use of GDs. I'd think that would be the exception. They use the sludge for bio-fuel. I couldn't help but think the plumbers in that town must be busy.
