Convenient, and sanitary if you're putting trash out in bags, no bins, as so many households seem to do. (But !remindme after our 🐀🐀 develop the paw strength to pry open the lids on our 5-gallon buckets!)

I didn't grow up with garbage disposals in kitchen sinks, but understand that they receive a fair amount of our compostables ... along with non-compostable refuse that actually clogs up our in-sink-erators and pipes 🤔

Philadelphia has a law that mandates garbage disposals for this reason, to try and divert organic waste:

In a city with very old infrastructure, ancient sewer pipes, and the associated roaches, I would rather see them invest in curbside compost pickup, but I appreciate the effort.
