Get Rid of Food Waste with Ease
Using the InSinkErator Badger 5 food waste disposer, you can put chicken bones, fruit rinds, coffee grounds, and other food matter right into your kitchen sink. The machine virtually liquefies foods before they flow safely to your sewage system or septic tank. As a result, you can get rid of food waste without fuss while producing less bagged garbage.

Sturdy Steel Construction and 1/2 Horsepower Motor
The Badger 5 features a rugged galvanized steel construction along with a quiet yet heavy-duty 1/2 horsepower Dura-Drive induction motor. The disposer uses a one-stage grinding system and is designed to be hard-wired and controlled by a wall switch.

Quick Lock Sink Mount for Easy Installation
Like all InSinkErator food waste disposers, to simplify the installation process, the Badger 5 sports a three-bolt Quick Lock sink mount made of stainless steel. If you have an existing food waste disposer, you can likely just twist it off and twist on the Badger 5. With Quick Lock, replacing one InSinkErator disposer with another is easy.

Economical and Environmentally Friendly
Compared with other installed kitchen appliances, food waste disposers cost little to operate. InSinkErator Badger disposers use an average of just one gallon of water per person per day, or less than 1 percent of a typical household's total water consumption. They also use an average of three to four kilowatt hours of electricity per year, which typically amounts to less than 50 cents.

In addition, food waste disposers offer an environmentally responsible alternative to simply sticking food waste in the garbage can. For those on a sewage system, grinding the waste with the disposer sends it to the local municipal wastewater treatment plant, where it can often processed into bio-solids for use as fertilizer or recycled to produce methane, a renewable source of energy.
