I have trash under the sink now on a slide out tray. Works great.
Vinegar and/or citrus rinds help clean-up/deodorize.

I have lived with and without. They're nice for rinsing food of off dishes, but for the most part I throw vegetable/fruit scraps in the garbage

TIL way fewer people live with garbage disposals than I realized. I thought that was a normal house staple.

It's common for things to clog the sink a bit...just random little things that don't make it all the way in the trash. Flipping on the disposal is way easier than taking the trap apart :iono:

I've also never had one fail. Mine jammed a few months back, but all I had to do was free the blades by spinning them with an allen wrench on the bottom of the unit. I had friends who thought theirs died in their apartment, but it just tripped the breaker on the unit. That's the most common source of "failure".

:dat: mine was recently jammed bad enough that spinning the Allen wrench thing wouldn’t work and I had to take the thing apart to unjam it myself. I was in and out in under 30 minutes :iono:

Never grew up with a garbage disposal as a kid so it's never been something I've felt a need for.
Cleaning strainer... :gag:

Mine failed recently it was a pita to get the old one out because reasons. Being on one's back under a kitchen sink is not the funnest way to spend time but I really can't go without one, because the dishwasher empties into the sink drain pipe which sometimes backs up due to water volume. When this happens, the food particles would eventually clog the trap. With the disposal it's nbd. Besides I like being able to rinse plates with no real worries and also obliterating peels and other cutting board detritus that would otherwise stink up the garbage can.

:mahman:

:iono: I've taken one apart, unjammed it, and also replaced one. Agreed the working under the sink on your back isn't exactly fun, but if it's a once-a-decade thing to replace it, I'm good with that.

I'm with Detroit though, I didn't realize so many wealthy white DFDers lived without such a standard household item.

Yeah... I mean, I didn't grow up with a Corvette but that doesn't mean I want to stick with an '87 Caravan forever.

We did have a disposal AND a dishwasher where I grew up :doe: :waxer:

Late to this latest DFD argument, but I'm firmly on the pro disposal team. Never had them growing up, then I installed one in my in-laws house then in mine and they're a 5/7 convenience as long as they're used correctly.

I've never lived without one.

A lot of people also seem to prefer not having hoods over their stoves and not having air conditioning or (de)humidifiers too, dunno what everyone hates about having a clean and comfortable home...
Neither of my disposals have never smelled. :iono:

I use mine for the vegetable bits that escaped the trash can.

I'm genuinely amazed this is a thing to argue over.

Well, it takes a little longer if you're installing one where there wasn't one before. You have to run electrical, modify the drain, etc, but yeah, it's not that hard.

Pretty excited, we officially own it. Being almost $300K in debt feels... about the same as life did before. I'm currently sitting in my apartment :lolol: . I may find some time to go over and do a few things to the :haus: over this Thanksgiving break, but all of the family things...
