if you put stuff down a garbage disposal, it gets into the sewage system and is filtered out of the water...i'm not sure where filtered-out waste goes, but i'm guessing a landfill. compost is better for the environment.
it's nice that they pick it up for you...my mom has a compost barrel at home, and it's always filled with disgusting maggots in the summer. if the garbage people took the compost away, they have to deal with the maggots, not me!
