If you’re already the proud owner of a garburator, you’ll know that a garburator shreds food scraps into small pieces to enable you to wash them down the drain without causing damage to your plumbing systems. A garburator is usually connected to the drainage under the kitchen sink. Like many kitchen appliances, garburators come in a wide variety shapes and sizes, from simple waste disposal to fancier units with sound reducing insulation or stainless steel grinding chambers.
If you’re no longer happy with your current garburator, we can help with a garburator replacement or removal.
Is it better to compost or use a garburator?
Although we install and remove garburators, we have to admit they aren’t ideal for plumbing systems. When you compost (either through a city-run program or on your own), the food is broken down and used as fertilizer, helping to grow even more food.
Do garburators smell?
Decomposing food and grease and rotting particles left behind in the pipes can produce an offensive odor. It’s best to flush out your sink regularly, and even consider adding some lemon to keep it fresh.
How do you clean a garburator?
Is it okay to pour boiling water down a garbage disposal?
Sure it’s okay to use hot water when you’re cleaning the disposal. Mix equal parts white vinegar and dish soap and flush with boiling water.
