DO I NEED A GARBURATOR IF I COMPOST ? In many areas in Canada , composting is not a year-round solution for handling waste . A garburator offers a year-round solution for food waste and can also be used to grind un-compostable items such as meat , bones dairy and eggs . Additionally , some items such as citrus peels , onions and garlic should not be added to your compost as they deter helpful insects , worms and bacteria . Today , powerful InSinkErator disposers can even handle items such as chicken bones , eggshells and potato skins that other food waste disposers cannot handle ! - Bartle & Gibson , www . bartlegibson . com
