Avoid garbage disposals. Many towns on the Vineyard do not allow the use of garbage disposals because they use a great deal of water and can add grease and solids to your already hard-working sewage and septic systems

triturador de lixo/de resíduos alimentares/resíduos orgânicos
A garbage disposal or garburator (Canadian English) is an electrically-powered device installed under a kitchen sink between the drain and the U-bend. It shreds food waste into very small pieces so that they can be passed through the plumbing without clogging. Also called a food waste disposal, they are sold in North America under brand names like "Waste King" and "In-Sink-Erator", the largest manufacturer of garbage disposals.
