Do you need a garbage disposal for a dishwasher?

• <div><p>Many homeowners wonder<a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/garbage-disposal-necessary-dishwasher.htm"> if a garbage disposal is necessary with a dishwasher</a>. After all, many dishwashers are powerful enough to handle bits of food with no issues. </p><p>Still, your dishwasher should not act as a replacement for a disposal. Subjecting your dishwasher to continuous leftovers could lead to major clogs. If you don’t want a garbage disposal in your kitchen, simply scrape away any extra food into your trash can or compost pile.</p></div>

Q: Can glass go in the garbage disposal?

• <div><p>Never put glass in the garbage disposal. It can damage your disposal or eject shards of glass out of the disposal and cause injury. If you get broken glass in your garbage disposal, turn it off and cut the power from the breaker, use a tool like pliers or tongs to remove the glass, and use a wet-dry vacuum to remove the remaining glass pieces. If you can&rsquo;t access the disposal safely, call a <a href="https://www.angi.com/nearme/garbage-disposal-repair/">garbage disposal repair pro</a>.</p></div>

Q: Why should I pick a continuous-feed garbage disposal?

• <div><p>Continuous feed garbage disposals are the favorite model for many homeowners for a reason. As opposed to batch feed models, add food scraps to the drain whenever the disposal is running. This variety is also typically less expensive, more convenient, and easier to clean.</p></div>

Q: Are garbage disposals bad for the environment?

• <div><p>Garbage disposals can be considered bad for the environment due to their electricity usage, but good for the environment because they reduce the food waste sent to landfills. If everyone used a garbage disposal, it would tax the wastewater treatment facilities in that region, but if we had to choose one of the options, we&rsquo;d say they are a net positive on the environment when used correctly. </p></div>

Q: What are the negatives of a garbage disposal?

• <div><p>The two main negatives of garbage disposals are they are a safety hazard in homes with children, and they frequently encounter blockage issues. While they might be annoying to fix and monitor, garbage disposals can significantly lower your trash use and are a great way to dispose of organic waste. While there are negatives, the vast majority of homeowners acknowledge the positives are enough to install a disposal in their home. </p></div>
