Garbage Disposal FAQ

Why does my garbage disposal smell so bad?

Your disposal is probably full of food particles that have not fully broken down and drained. The longer these particles sit, the more they will smell as they begin to decompose. When you add food to your disposal, make sure you run it long enough to break everything down (a few seconds isn’t long enough). To tackle tough odors, try cleaning your drain with baking soda and vinegar and rinsing with warm water, or there are deodorizing tablets specially designed to be run though garbage disposals that you can also try.

Are garbage disposals good for the environment?

Food waste accounts for a significant portion of the waste that is sent to landfills each year, so by disposing of it in your garbage disposal, you can help to reduce your environmental impact. In addition, many garbage disposals now come with features that make them more environmentally friendly, such as filters that remove harmful pollutants from the water before it is flushed away.

Do I need a garbage disposal? Is it really worth it?

If you have ever had to deal with a backed-up sink, you know how frustrating it can be. Not only is it a smelly mess, but it can also be difficult and costly to repair. A garbage disposal can help to prevent these problems by grinding up food waste into small pieces that can be easily flushed away. In addition, a garbage disposal can help to reduce the amount of garbage that ends up in landfills. If you produce a lot of waste in the kitchen, a garbage disposal is a great upgrade to consider.
