No matter how efficiently you try to reduce and recycle waste produced, a smaller amount of waste will still be being created at your end. It is an inevitable phenomenon and not a bad thing as well. You can transform your trash can into a flowering basket by using suitable means to dispose of the garbage in a useful manner.

Waste disposal is usually a small motorized garbage crusher to finely crush your food waste produced in your kitchen and then it lets the powdered material to flush out in the wastewater drain and the suspended solids are separated from this municipality duct to convert it into fertilizers or decompose it to produce methane gas. A little effort by you will be a contribution to green and clean waste management. Here is a guide for you to choose the best fit garbage disposal for your household.

Compare Various Types of Garbage Disposals

Two common types of garbage disposal are continuous feed and batch feed disposals. You can keep disposing of your waste material continuously with the powered on garbage disposal or it can be done batch-wise by separately disposing of in segments. A funnel is present to introduce waste into the continuous type of garbage disposal while batch-wise garbage disposal will work only after closing the lid. Some prefer continuous type garbage disposal due to its continuity and less expensiveness, on the other hand, few people prefer having batch-wise disposal to avoid any injury or flying waste particles by turning the power off with a lid taken off of the disposal. Size of waste disposal may also be of concern for the one having smaller space available. The smallest garbage disposal can be found with efficient and agile performance to compensate for the capacity of a bigger one.

Noise Level

You can find both types of disposals in the market, with noise and quiet. Older kitchen sink disposals were usually producing high noise while its operation but in recent advancement, there has come modified reduced noise disposals in the market. You may have to pay an extra amount of money for quiet disposal with a high definition finish. Now it is up to you whether you are more concerned about noise or money.

Motor Horsepower

You may find any garbage disposal with as low horsepower as 1/4 and as high as 1 horsepower. The major difference between a high and a low horsepower motored garbage disposal will be the cost. Low power disposals are much cheaper than high power disposals. The power is concerned only if you have a big family and a huge amount of waste produced and wants to use your garbage disposal rigorously. A low power garbage disposal with 1/4 or 1/3 horsepower will be enough for a small household and lesser waste.

Stainless Steel Garbage Disposal

Inner parts of a garbage disposal can easily wear or rust out with long term exposure to moisture and food particles. Choosing a stainless steel garbage disposal will liberate you from regular repairs required in case of other rust able materials.
