We really reduced the amount we put down the Garburator when the green bins came around - until I went on a tour of the compost facility and they said all the bio solids from wastewater treatment goes to compost as well. Now I don’t feel guilty about it.

Take a tour the waste water treatment side. The amount of bio solids is a significant component of the design capacity of the system. So using a garbarator increases the Capital and Op cost of water treatment.
It would be interesting to see if pipelining and treating the waste is more efficient than collecting in trucks so perhaps the optimal solution is for yard waste to go down a garberator rather than trucked.
