I feel in the suburbs where you have cookie cutter houses that all have garburators it must add a little bit of load. How does it compare to municipally run composting?

I assume it’s a garbage disposal, I’ve never heard the term either though.
I hadn’t heard the term either but wikipedia says you’re correct: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Garbage_disposal_unit
So basically a macerator on your sink crushing garbage to go down the sewage pipe?
What an astonishingly terrible idea.
It’s great if you don’t abuse it, it’s not intended for anything big. Little bits of stuff in the bottom of your sink? Rinse and turn the motor on.
I don’t really have any faith at all in people’s ability not to abuse things. Especially something like this that magically makes physical problems disappear.
It would be breaking it up, chances are if you live in an urban area there is one on your block underground. Sewage is chopped up to make it flow easier and to speed up processing.
It’s what we call them in Canada!
Of course it is. You guys are cute.
I’m Canadian and Ive never heard this term before. I don’t think I’ve ever seen a house with a compactor either.
I knew this because of ‘How I met your mother’!
Apparently it’s a Canadian term

Follow up question, does WM do sewage in Canada? Here they just pick up trash cans/recycling.
I’m honestly not sure. I used the term because I wasn’t sure if black and grey water are always treated the same so I wasn’t sure if sewage treatment would fit. I think wastewater is the general term.
I think it’s usually two separate services both owned typically by the city.
