Food waste is a significant issue across households worldwide, with the UK alone generating a staggering 4.7 million tonnes of food waste annually, costing over £4.9 billion.

This not only strains the environment but also contributes to harmful greenhouse gas emissions when dumped in landfills. However, through the rise of waste disposal units (WDUs), they offer a practical solution to curb this growing problem.

Under-sink waste disposal units have emerged as a game-changer in waste management, effectively reducing food waste destined for landfills. These units swiftly grind leftover food into minuscule particles, diverting them to water treatment plants instead of rotting away in landfills.

With four Caple WDU models to choose from, waste disposal units have become a cornerstone of sustainable living. The variety of models cater to different household needs and budgets.

Beyond waste reduction, waste disposal units offer unparalleled hygiene benefits. Say goodbye to foul odours and insect infestations commonly associated with traditional food waste disposal methods.

By eliminating the need for food scrap containers, waste disposal units keep your kitchen fresh and clean, enhancing overall sanitation.

Understanding what can and cannot be disposed of in waste disposal units is crucial for optimal performance and longevity. While food scraps like fruit and vegetable peels, coffee grounds, small bones, cooked rice or pasta, and eggshells are fair game, items such as grease, large bones, and fibrous foods should be kept out.

Remember to only use cold water when grinding food waste and avoid putting non-food items like tin cans or glass in the disposal—it’s meant for food waste only! Take it easy on the amount of food you put in at once; a little at a time is best. And be sure to steer clear of super fibrous foods like corn husks to prevent any pesky blockages. Lastly, let the unit run until it’s finished grinding, then turn it off. Following these tips will help keep your disposal happy and your kitchen running smoothly!
