Most people don't like scooping bits of crud and various foodstuffs,
peelings, chicken guts, etc. from the drain into a garbage can
(yuck).


Why would you do that? Scrape leftovers off the plates straight into
the can. Dump the cutting board straight into the can too. Why create
the extra operation of moving the waste foodstuffs to the sink and
then scooping them into the can?

Sometimes it's not as easy as "scrape leftovers off the plates
straight into the can" ... at least not in my kitchen.


Consider bits of food left in the bottom of a can being rinsed for the
recycling bin, food mixed with liquids (e.g. soup) being tossed from
the fridge, cooked food stuck to a frying or roasting pan, etc.


All of these are much more easily dealt with under running water,
which is going to result in food scrapes in the sink.


I'm not arguing for or against disposers, I'm simply stating that I
can't imagine being able to avoid ending up with food waste in the
sink - at least not in my kitchen, or any kitchen that I have ever
cooked in.


What you actualy need is a pig/hog out back. *This will give you the

Didja even read my post?

It had nothing to do with recycling or not recycling. It was about the
need for a sink to *catch* food waste on occasion.

What a person chooses to do with the food waste once it's in the sink
was not something that I addressed - and I even pointed that out in my
final paragraph.
