Old spaghetti? In the toilet. Spoiled milk? In the toilet. Egg shells? Crushed and in the toilet.

I wonder why digested organic food waste is exempted from this rule. Isn’t it still organic food waste?

The garbage disposal works great and the sewerage plant has a better time breaking everything down if it has food-stuff organics in it - it gets a better universe of bacteria.

There was a town in Wisconsin that many, many years ago installed garbage disposals in everyone’s kitchen sinks and reportedly saved millions in their sewage plant costs.

Food waste not only helps in sewage digestion at the sewage plant, the process of it braking down also creates more methane, which can be trapped and used for powering electric generators.

There is a plant in Brooklyn New York which specifically collects food waste from institutions and uses it in a biomass methane gas power plant.

If California wanted the “best” solution it would just require all homes to have garbage disposals in their kitchens. Their sewage plants would be more efficient and they can trap the methane and use it somewhere in power generation.
