Exit the Garbage Can Kitchen Waste Unit feature

A new home electrical device, the Kitchen Waste Unit, grinds waste foods into a fine pulp and flushes it away as part of the sewage stream. Installed under a kitchen sink, it can attach to existing sinks or be bought with the General Electric dishwasher ensemble. It offers labor saving convenience and sanitation never before employed.
