I live in an upper class neighborhood. None of our homes ever had a garbage disposal. I have never seen or used one. Why do you need a garbage disposal when sanitation picks up our garbage twice a week. Can someone explain?
It makes it easier to clean up the peelings of a salad or cleaning plates of post dinner garbage. Our trash pick up is once a week. We haven’t had a “garbage” man for 40 years.
In the summer the trash could get pretty ripe.
But yes, I lived my first 25 years without one. It’s nice—but it never changed my life.
