March 24, 2008 ― Raleigh Bans Garbage Disposals; InSinkErator Responds
In early March, the Raleigh City Council approved a ban on
installing any new and replacement garbage disposal units as a way to reduce
sewage overflows. The
ordinance does not prohibit selling disposers.
According
to local news reports, some area plumbers and hardware store owners are not so
sure the ban will work the way it’s intended, and question how it will be
enforced.
