I wouldn't hesitate to recommend TM Hughes. The water from my bath and sink was draining extremely slowly. We had tried liquid drain unblockers but these had failed. After a visit from Terry and one of his fantastic plumbers our water now gushes away at a rate we've never seen before. A huge thank you to both of them.

Why Your Kitchen Needs A Waste Disposal Unit

Waste Disposal Units boast several benefits, which include:

Convenience

Waste disposal units bring immense convenience to the modern kitchen, primarily by enabling immediate disposal of food waste.

With this handy device installed under your sink, there’s no need to bag up food scraps or walk them to an outdoor bin, saving you time and effort.

Getting rid of waste as you cook also helps keep your kitchen clean and clutter-free, reducing the mess produced during meal preparation.

Reduced Kitchen Odours

Waste disposal units help lower kitchen odours by providing an immediate method for disposing of food waste.

When you throw food waste into a regular kitchen bin, it decomposes almost immediately.

As it breaks down, it can release a variety of unpleasant odours, particularly in warmer conditions. This is even more noticeable when the waste includes items such as onions, garlic, or seafood.

In contrast, a waste disposal unit grinds the food waste and sends it down the drain and into the wastewater system. This immediate disposal means the waste doesn’t stay in your kitchen, eliminating the chance for those odours to develop.

Less Bagged Rubbish

Waste disposal units generate less bagged rubbish and reduce trips to the outdoor bin in several ways.

By grinding up food waste and flushing it away through the plumbing system, waste disposal units effectively remove a significant portion of household waste that would otherwise end up in the bin.

This means fewer rubbish bags are filled, resulting in fewer plastic bags used. Not only does this save on the cost of purchasing rubbish bags, but it’s also more environmentally friendly by reducing plastic waste.

Additionally, with fewer bags to take out, the frequency of trips to the outdoor bin decreases. This is incredibly convenient for those living in apartments or units where the communal rubbish disposal area might be a significant distance away.

Moreover, it’s particularly beneficial during bad weather or late at night when taking out the rubbish can be inconvenient.

Better Hygiene

Waste disposal units contribute to better kitchen hygiene.

Firstly, by allowing for the immediate disposal of food waste, waste disposal units help prevent the accumulation of organic waste in your kitchen bin.

Organic waste, when left in the bin, can quickly start to decompose, creating a breeding ground for bacteria and attracting pests like flies and rodents.

By reducing the amount of waste sitting in your kitchen, a disposal unit helps to minimise these risks.

Secondly, waste disposal units can reduce the potential for cross-contamination. If you chop up meat, for example, and you have to handle the waste and then touch other surfaces, there’s a risk of spreading bacteria like E. coli or salmonella.

But with a waste disposal unit, you can scrape waste directly into the sink, reducing contact with potentially harmful bacteria.

Finally, a cleaner kitchen generally leads to better overall hygiene. Without rotting food waste, there are fewer unpleasant smells and a reduced risk of attracting pests, leading to a more sanitary kitchen.
