Garbage S such as fish and vegetables is placed in the lid 36 next to the sink 14.
Open it, put it into the cooling chamber 16 through the inlet 18, and close the lid 36. At this time, solid food waste M remains in the cooling chamber 16, and moisture flows out from the drain port 24. The water that flows out passes through the draining device 34 and flows into the sewer through the drain pipe 32.

A cooling start button on the operation panel 60 causes a refrigerant such as liquid nitrogen to flow through the cooling pipe 22 to cool the inside of the cooling chamber 16 to an extremely low temperature of -50° C. or less, thereby freezing and solidifying the garbage H. This cooling time may be just enough time to freeze the garbage H, and this time is set using the operation panel 6o. Note that the timing of starting this freezing may be determined by providing a sensor in the cooling chamber 16, automatically starting freezing when a certain amount of garbage M accumulates in the cooling chamber 16, and freezing for a predetermined period of time. .

When the freezing time has elapsed, the dispenser 26 is rotated by the motor 28, and the frozen and solidified garbage basket is crushed into granules by the tip of the crusher 30 and sent to the discharge port 20.

The frozen and pulverized granular food waste M passes through the discharge pipe 40 and is stored in a garbage bag 62 stored in a take-out container 54. In this case, since the top opening of the take-out container 54 hangs in the take-out chamber 48 in a cool manner, the granular food waste X does not spill outside, and the odor also does not leak outside. The inside of the take-out chamber 48 is cooled by a cooling pipe 53 so that the garbage M does not thaw. When a certain amount of granular garbage S accumulates in the garbage bag 62, a weight sensor 64 provided at the bottom of the removal chamber 48 reacts and notifies the user with a sound or the like.
