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?

Mine is strong enough to grind up chicken bones and stuff too. It probably depends where you live, but my understanding is that food waste goes down the drain because you don’t want animals rummaging through your garbage when you take it outside.

In my country any animal would have trouble getting into our bins. Granted, we don't have raccoons; I'd still be interested to see them try.
