Food waste contributes to landfill methane emissions.
The U.S. EPA estimates that food waste constitutes about 24% of municipal solid waste (MSW) disposed in U.S. landfills, and that food waste is responsible for 58% of methane emissions from MSW landfills.1 Using a garbage disposal reduces the amount of food waste taken to landfills and the resulting methane emissions. Many wastewater treatment plants can also convert disposal waste into renewable energy and beneficial .fertilizer.
