Pound for pound, it probably costs your municipality more at the water
treatment plant than it would at a landfill.

Also, you may put more fat and oil into the drain than it can handle. (I.e.
the soap that normally ends up going down the pipe.)

Maybe so, but I've found in the past that since our garbage only gets
picked up once a week, putting food in the trash invites maggots and
roaches and stuff. I'm happy to let my taxes and garbage fees work at the
water treatment plant rather than the landfill.
