Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To sufficiently shred garbage to certainly discharge the same along with water by disposing an opening and closing valve to the filth discharge pipe connected to the lower part of the disposer provided to the drain port of a sink and shredding garbage in the disposer in such a state that the opening and closing valve is closed before opening the opening and closing valve. SOLUTION: After garbage is charged, when the switch of a disposer 5 is pushed while water is allowed to flow from a faucet, a control circuit operates a disposer 5 to ground garbage accumulated within the disposer 5 by shredding blades 7. Since an opening and closing valve 12 is closed at this time, non- shredded garbage is not discharged to the outside from a filth discharge pipe 11 and garbage impinges against the blades 7 certainly to be certainly finely ground by the rotation of the shredding blades 7. When the water level in the disposer 5 detected by a water level detection means 6 becomes a predetermined water level, the opening and closing valve 12 is opened and finely ground garbage is allowed to flow out to an outdoor decomposition treatment part 13 along with water through the filth discharge pipe 11.
