Economical and Environmentally Friendly Compared with other installed kitchen appliances, food waste disposers cost little to operate. InSinkErator Badger disposers use an average of just one gallon of water per person per day, or less than 1 percent of a typical household"s total water consumption. They also use an average of three to four kilowatt hours of electricity per year, which typically amounts to less than 50 cents. In addition, food waste disposers offer an environmentally responsible alternative to simply sticking food waste in the garbage can. For those on a sewage system, grinding the waste with the disposer sends it to the local municipal wastewater treatment plant, where it can often processed into bio-solids for use as fertilizer or recycled to produce methane, a renewable source of energy.
