An End To Garbage Disposals??

[Troy Farmer]

Starting March 17, any new home or business tying into the Raleigh NC sewer system will be forbidden from installing the device, part of an effort to keep sewer pipes clear. Violators could be fined $25,000 a day and have the water turned off. The city is also taking aim at existing garbage disposals, advising residents to avoid the temptation to grind scraps and stray rinds -- because they won't be able to replace the gadgets when they stop working after their 10- to 12-year life span.

Wow, that's interesting.

In a true green building you will not find a disposal, waste of water.
