Garbage Disposal Options The 2 categories of garbage disposals that you'll find in the market are continuous feed and batch feed. This decision is based on ones choice for either ease or safety when it comes to your sink. Continuous Feed The most common type of garbage disposal is this type. It's likely that your current unit is a continuous feed device. Once started, these machines could be left to run while scraps are fed into them. Disposal and Installation of Garbage. Continuous feed components are cost-effective, and there are a wide range of types from which to choose because they are the most popular type of garbage disposal. Daily waste grinding has never been easier thanks to these machines. Disadvantages: There are a few disadvantages, including the fact that you'll have to be more careful while the unit is running and make sure you wouldn't drop anything down the drain. Additionally, running water is needed when using a continuous feed disposal. This can raise your water bill. Most people have little food waste to grind on a regular basis, so this grinder is perfect for those who want ease without breaking the bank. Batch feeds When it comes to garbage disposals, batch feed and continuous feed are practically the same thing. When the device is full of waste, you can begin using it. The drain stopper must be in position for it to work. The stopper on the drain prevents batch feed components from working if the dump is not covered. Because of this, it is an excellent choice for families with kids. In the event that you slip something else down the drain, you won't have to worry about it being damaged by the garbage disposal. Drawback: Continuous feed garbage disposals are less expensive, but batch feed garbage disposals are more expensive, sometimes by more than one hundred dollars. You have to wait for the disposal to fill up before you can start breaking your waste down with one of these. Your sink could be overflowing if you crush too little, which could also lead to unpleasant smell and germs as well as infestations. It's best for: Families with kids who value security over all else; bigger homes that could make better use of batch processes.
