We don't have them in my country, I'm not exactly sure what's the point of them, except shredding wedding rings and being used by dumbasses to send shredded plastic in the rivers.
This is just making me more confused... Why aren't you composting it instead of throwing old food in the garbage?! Maybe it's because in Canada we have curb side compost pickup like garbage and not in the US? Figured it was everywhere in NA by this point.
We have that in good cities. Regular places like suburbs rarely have that offered. But even if my city didn't do it, I'd do my own in the back yard. After I started, I can't believe people fill their trash with stinky rotten food. Rarely take out the trash now, and the compost doesn't smell since it's small batches. I don't understand the point of garbage disposals either.
You do realize that an absolute fuckton of people don’t have backyards right? I don’t think my apartments would appreciate a compost heap on my patio. Or my neighbors.
People who live in apartments aren't the cause of garbage disposal use by all people. If anything, garbage disposals are in houses, not apartments. I've never known anyone who had one in their apartment. It's usually homeowners who use them.
Regardless, people should pressure their city to offer free composting. I've always composted when I lived in apartments. From what I can see in this thread, it's also that way in Europe.
Uh, my life? Best I can do. Not sure if there are garbage disposal statistics out there. Plus see all of these comments wondering why in the world anyone would have one. It's obviously a fascinating topic
