438004 2006-03-14 20:31:00 I've never owned a waste disposal unit - or even considered buying one.
I have a compost heap, a recycle bin & a bag for what we used to call the dustmen.
So I'm intrigued. What do you owners put in these gizmos?
All I have problems disposing of are chicken bones and rotten meat.

Couldn't agree more but try telling that to my wife, children, assorted friends and relatives. I've tried. :waughh:

On the other hand, heated towel rails meet my absolute approval. :thumbs:

Its just about funny.

Right up there with taxing gas emmisions from sheep while entire industries spew poison into our air and waterways.

I should take the entire thing apart and check for loose blades, thanks.

With an In-Sink-Erator® disposal in your kitchen, chicken bones, fruit rinds, coffee grounds and more can go right down the drain and into the garbage disposal -- where they're virtually liquefied to safely flow into your sewage system or septic tank.

438010 2006-03-15 09:13:00 What were those prices again . . ?
$200-$700, was the quote, wasn't it?

Ummm . . . now how many chicken carcasses per year to dispose of . . ? Maybe 15 tops . But there are extras with chicken pieces, of course . . .

So how many years before the gizmo pays for itself?
(Not forgetting it also has to be installed)

Thanks all the same . But realistically, I don't think I'm a customer . . .

Oh dear Graham. And you are normally so careful. I think you mean "Gardez L'eau" :cool:
