I feel in the suburbs where you have cookie cutter houses that all have garburators it must add a little bit of load. How does it compare to municipally run composting?

    Garbage disposal is really not a very intuitive name. Always confused me as a kid. I like “garbeurator” but I also had no idea what it meant when I saw it. We need an objectively transparent name for these things! “In-sink masticator?”

      One of the popular brands is the insinkerator. I always thought that was a good name for it.

        For a long time as a kid I thought those were In-sink Erators, and that an Erator was something that blended garbage.

        I distinctly remember telling a plumber my parents had called “I think its the erator” and him just nodding and smiling 😅
