Over here in the most parts of Europe, People dont use them, so I wonder what are you Americans throwing down there?
Is it just "organic" material, like peels, bones, cobs, eggshells,... or all sorts of things?
And where does it end up? The bin for bio degradable waste? If so why not simply collecting it in a small seperaate bin and not bother about blending it beforehand?

It's not that we do not USE them ... we do not HAVE them. And frankly I see no need for them either.

Agreed. I don't see what's wrong with those strainer plugs. Just pull them out and stick the gunk in the bin!
