You’re still using a food waste recycling bin?


You might want to sink that idea.


With most Greater London boroughs now providing household food recycling bins, few could argue with the benefits. Much of the food waste is used to create nutrient-rich fertiliser for use in local farming, not to mention the positive effect it has on your main rubbish bins in terms of hygiene, reducing nasty smells and keeping foxes at bay. That’s assuming the bin is securely locked in the first place.

The problem is, they can still become rancid. They often go uncollected, disgusting smells can develop, and foxes can still enjoy an evening meal without having to wade through any other household rubbish. But don’t worry, there’s another, more hygienic, convenient and simple way to deal with your food waste.

No hassle, no smells, cleaner and perfectly safe

There’s a very clever gadget called an InSinkErator that installs neatly beneath your kitchen sink. It’s essentially a food waste disposal unit that grinds food scraps into tiny particles before they’re washed safely away through your plumbing.

There are no dangerous blades to worry about. Instead, the unit uses rotating lugs to push food waste against a stationary grind ring, breaking it down into fine particles that are carried away with the wastewater.

The result? No more smelly food waste bin cluttering your kitchen, fewer odours, a cleaner and more hygienic food preparation area, and no more free accomodation for fruit flies and other pests. All at the touch of a button.

  • Grinds food waste quickly and efficiently – Eliminates food scraps in seconds, reducing the need for food waste caddies.
  • Installed discreetly beneath the sink – Saves valuable kitchen space and keeps worktops clutter-free.
  • Blade-free grinding technology – Uses grinding components rather than sharp blades for safer operation.
  • Continuous feed operation – Add food waste while the unit is running, making meal preparation and clean-up faster.
  • Corrosion-resistant grind components – Built for long-term performance and resistance to everyday wear.
  • Compatible with most standard kitchen sinks – Suitable for many existing kitchen setups.
  • No need to store food waste indoors – Helps keep kitchen bins cleaner and reduces unpleasant smells.
  • Supports a cleaner, more hygienic kitchen – Removes food waste immediately instead of leaving it to decompose.
  • Helps deter insects and pests – Less food sitting in bins can mean fewer fruit flies and other unwanted visitors.
