The builder installed model would not eat a single onion skin. Nor could it
handle more than one potato peeling.

This one makes very short work of onion skins or the peelings from 3 pounds
of potatoes.

I have not needed the plunger since I installed it.

Not trying to **** you off, but why would you put so much stuff down the GD?
That stuff goes in the trash or compost.

By dumping solids you're overloading your town's waste-water treatment
facilities or your septic system.

Because I don't like rotting food sitting around the house. I don't like the
smell or the pests.

Nonsense.

I dissagree.

Just quickly scan the PDF doc. Back in the 70s when I was still trying to
figure out what I wanted to major in, I took some waste-water treatment
courses at NMSU. I changed my mind about my major but I did manage to learn
some things about the subject.

I put a small trash can with a lid by my backdoor for kitchen waste. The
city comes by each week to pick it up for compost, but we pay a lot for
garbage. It would be just as easy to throw it in a covered trash can. BTW:
The last plumber I talked to said to not use a GD at all. He recommended I
take mine out altogether. I just use mine for the stuff that comes off the
dishes after scraping the large stuff in the trash; so I'm not completely
against them. He told me absolutely eliminate all starchy items in the GD
because starches will eventually clog the system.

What has that to do with the price of oats in China? You pay a lot for
garbage pick up, likely because you have union or government (or both) workers
picking it up. I paid a lot when I lived in the NE, too. Enough that it was
cheaper to take it to the "dump" myself. It was still more expensive than
"full service" garbage collection is here. ...from the city, too. You're not
going to find that waste in your garbage can.

BTW:

More nonsense. If the plumbing is done correctly a disposer isn't going to do
anything harmful to the plumbing. If you have trees in your pipes, well...

Take a trip down to your local waste water facility and ask, before you

Question...

May be moving form Midwest to Arizona....

Will a compost pile work well in desert southwest where
so dry?

I don't have a lot of composting experience but I'm sure it would. You do
have to add some water so you'd probably have to add more. Compost heaps are
pest attractors. If you have a lot of compost it can get out of hand
quickly. One thing I've learned is if the city will p/u yard waste (better
to just mulch grass clippings) let them do it. If I started another compost
pile I'd be absolutely sure it was sealed away from mice etc...... I prefer
to go to the nursery and buy compost. :-)
