I just moved to a house that has no garbage disposal unit. The
builder said that it's not advisable for a house on a septic system.
Is he "pulling my chain"? If what he is saying is true, how do
folks handle garbage without a septic tank? I can see a lot of
flies and roaches without one.

Septic will function with a garbage disposal. You will just have to
have it pumped more often, and there is a chance of leach field lines
plugging up and you having to dig the whole thing up. Other than
that, no downside to garbage disposals on septic. A lot of people
who are on septic either put out garbage to the street or compost.
