Advantages of food waste disposal units

• Reduce the volume of food waste – lower the amount of food that ends up in the trash
• Convenient and hygienic – will reduce any rotting food particles that end up in the trash
• Easy to install – most kitchen sinks can have this unit installed
• Keeps food scraps from landfills – may be more environmentally friendly than traditional disposal
• Requires minimal energy – will only be a small addition to your current energy usage
• Save money-help to save plastic bags 

Disadvantages of food waste disposal units

• Not as eco-friendly as composting – will reduce waste but not the best overall option
• Loud – running the unit late or early may disturb others
• Not every unit will fit in the cabinet – standard food waste disposal units may not fit in small or unusually shaped cabinets
• Bad odours are possible – bacteria build-up can lead to bad odours if not cleaned well
• Possibility of problems – all units can jam, overheat, or leak water
• Requires water to run – may not be ideal when water usage is limited
