Instead of throwing this food waste away, grinding it with the InSinkErator® Badger® sends it to your local municipal wastewater treatment plant, where it can be recycled to produce methane, a renewable source of power for the plant. Additionally, wastewater treatment plants can process food waste into biosolids to be used as fertilizer (check the plant in your area). Food waste disposers average less than 50 cents a year in electricity to operate and account for less than one percent of a household's total water consumption. In fact, the InSinkErator® Badger® features an average water usage of one gallon per person per day and an average electrical usage of three to four kilowatt hours per year, making it among the least expensive installed kitchen appliances. We Come To You® Parts and Labor Warranty The Badger 5XP® is backed by an exclusive three-year We Come to You® In-Home Service Warranty.This warranty from InSinkErator® includes free house calls (including parts and labor) for the entirewarranty period. What's in the Box InSinkErator® Badger 5XP® Food Waste Disposer, Quick Lock® Sink Mount, Sink Baffle, Jam-Buster™ Wrench, Plastic Sink Stopper, and Installation Instructions.
When food waste is placed in a disposer, it lands on a turntable spinning at high speed. Centrifugal force and the impellers (or lugs) attached to the turntable push the food waste against a stationary shredder ring. The food is ground into small particles so that, when mixed with water, it can safely flow through your plumbing and into your wastewater system or septic tank.

Electrical Connections
Check to see if your disposer is hardwired or has a power cord plugged into an outlet. Depending on the electrical code in your area, you will have one type of connection or the other. Most disposers are sold without an attached power cord so that they may be used in either application. If you need a power cord, these can be purchased separately as an accessory. You may also purchase a unit with an attached power cord for this application.
