InSinkErator Waste Disposers
InSinkErator’s modern food waste disposer units offer a convenient way to dispose of food waste in your home. Compact and neatly installed under your kitchen sink, at the touch of a button your food waste is hygienically and instantly ground into fine particles and safely flushed into the sewerage system. This environmentally-responsible approach to food waste keeps your kitchen clean and removes smells and bacteria that would otherwise inhabit your kitchen bin. InSinkErator disposers are designed to deal with most types of food waste including small bones, meat, fish, vegetable peelings, eggshells, and more. The unit will grind your scraps using an internal grind ring, with no blades involved. This results in a grinding process that is quieter than ever. InSinkErator food waste disposers offer features like the Quiet Collar Sink Baffle and Anti-Vibration Mount to suppress noise, multi-stage grinding technology to ensure thoroughly ground food scraps, and a Jam-Sensor Circuit to adjust torque as necessary.
What is a food waste disposer?
A food waste disposer offers a fast and hygienic way to dispose of your household food waste. It is discreetly installed under your kitchen sink and takes all kinds of food waste and scraps including vegetable peels, small bones, and eggshells. Waste is grinded and conveniently flushed away, leaving you no mess to deal with, only a clean kitchen.
If you grew up with a disposer in your home, you may remember it being loud and maybe even a bit dangerous. Not anymore, technology has developed a lot since then. Modern InSinkErator food waste disposers are very safe to use and operate more quietly than ever thanks to new innovations.
How it works
Simply turn on your ambient water tap and the unit, put your food scraps into the InSinkErator flange located where your normal drain would be, and the waste will be ground into tiny particles. Grinding is achieved by an internal ring, without the use of any blades. Waste is then safely flushed out of the disposer and sent into the sewerage system for treatment. Most food waste can be accepted including small bones, meat, fish, peelings, eggshells, and so much more. Cold water should always be running while the disposer is in operation and it should remain on for approximately 15 seconds after the disposer has finished grinding. The average daily water usage is equivalent to one toilet flush.

Environmental impact
Food waste is a big problem—in Australia over 5.3 million tonnes of food is wasted each year. Food waste sitting in landfill and your household bins produces methane, a greenhouse gas 21 times more dangerous than carbon dioxide. Not only a problem for the planet, food waste is becoming an issue for those of us with council bin collections changing from weekly to fortnightly. While there’s no single solution for reducing the world’s waste, there are little things we can do to make a big difference—like using an InSinkErator® food waste disposer to keep your food scraps out of landfill. You probably don’t spend much time thinking about food waste, but InSinkErator® does.
InSinkErator® disposers divert food from landfill, helping to reduce gas emissions from decomposing waste. More importantly, food waste sent to a capable wastewater treatment plant can be processed and recycled into renewable energy. This is one step amongst many towards helping protect the planet and reduce our environmental impact. Composting plays an important role in food waste management, and disposers are designed to complement this process as they eliminate organic matter such as bones, meat, and dairy, which are not suitable for composting.
You’ll enjoy complete peace of mind knowing that food waste disposers:
- Use 1% of the daily household water consumption of a family of four—equivalent to one toilet flush per day.
- Cost just $3.50 per year to run.
- Require no maintenance.
InSinkErator filtered water taps
Stylishly designed with contemporary elegance, InSinkErator taps bring ultimate convenience and simplicity to your kitchen life. Available in both all-in-one taps or side taps, enjoy a constant supply of boiling, ambient or chilled filtered water at the flick of a lever. Do away with kettles, clutter, time spent waiting for water to boil, and speed up your cooking and cleaning tasks.
An InSinkErator instant filtered boiling tap is a more energy efficient alternative to boiling water in an electric kettle. These taps are designed to be as economical as possible by heating only as much water as is needed, rather than heating a whole kettle's worth only for it to cool down again. All InSinkErator taps are fitted with a safety shut-off feature and feature an unobtrusive filtration system under the sink that reduces chlorine, particles, and other unpleasant tastes and odours.
InSinkErator Accessories
Put the finishing touches on your InSinkErator kitchen with a high quality accessory. Whether you’re adding an Air Switch for your disposal unit or keeping your water clean and pure with an efficient filter pack, enjoy a seamless kitchen experience.
