Waste Disposal Unit Installation

Waste Disposal Units are designed for simplicity and ease of use in the kitchen. Having a Waste Disposal unit fitted offers several benefits:

Reduces Kitchen Waste

A significant portion of household waste comes from food scraps. A disposal unit grinds these scraps, allowing them to be washed away, which decreases the amount of waste you need to throw out.

Eco-Friendly

Reducing the amount of organic waste in landfills decreases methane emissions (a potent greenhouse gas). Food waste processed by a disposal unit can be treated at wastewater treatment plants, and often, it can even be converted into biogas, a renewable energy source.

Convenience

It simplifies cleaning up after meals. Instead of scraping plates into the bin, you can rinse most leftovers down the sink.

Odour Reduction

Organic waste in garbage bins can produce unpleasant odours as it decomposes. You can keep your kitchen smelling fresher by grinding and flushing away food waste.

Hygiene

Disposing of food waste immediately reduces the potential for bacterial growth in your kitchen, creating a more sanitary environment.

Fewer Drain Clogs

While it’s essential to be mindful of what goes into the unit, having a waste disposal can reduce the chance of food scraps accidentally entering and clogging your pipes.

Simple Operation

Waste Disposal Units automatically grind the food waste fed into them.

Self-Cleaning

The grinding action of the unit, combined with the flow of water, helps to self-clean the mechanism. This ensures that small food particles are flushed out, reducing residue build-up.

Easy Maintenance

Regular maintenance can be as simple as running cold water through the unit while it’s operating and occasionally grinding up small, hard materials like ice cubes or eggshells to help sharpen the blades and clear out residual waste.

To prevent odours, homeowners can occasionally grind up citrus peels or use speciality cleaning products for waste disposal units. This keeps the unit smelling fresh without much effort.

Reset Button

Many units come with a built-in reset button. If the unit gets overloaded or jams, hitting the reset button can often solve the issue without requiring any tools.

Longevity

With proper use, waste disposal units should run efficiently for many years. Investing in a high-quality unit from a reputable brand can further ensure durability and reduce maintenance needs.
