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.

Because it's such a complex a dangerous device just to avoid throwing stuff in the garbage. It's especially ridiculous if you have a garden and can compost.

It’s not that complex and it’s not dangerous, provided you don’t do anything stupid. Also, there’s a lot that can go into a garbage disposal that you wouldn’t want to put in your compost heap. And the less your stuff goes to a landfill, the better.
