In case you hadn’t heard, Raleigh banned sink garbage disposals, but after outcry and various town meetings, Raleigh is now repealing the ban and ALLOWING garbage disposals.

No $25k a day fines.  No need to gripe.  No issue for builders.

I’ll stick with my buddy, Doug, on the final sentiment I have:

My debate was cleared up once the Mayor touched on the fact that greasy meats and bones produce 20% of the city’s grease blockage. I was not aware of this and the argument does make more sense now that information has been divulged.

I do urge Raleigh residents to think twice before pouring grease down the drain and disposing of bones and greasy meats in their garbage disposals. It can cost us several thousand dollars in repairs and can cost us on the back-end, as taxpayers, when the city has to repair blockage in the lines.

I still think they’re crap.  Wish I didn’t have my own… anyone want mine?
