Compost vs. Garbage Disposal?

[asterroc]

I just found out that my trash service picks up compost materials. But most of the stuff I would compost otherwise, I've got a garbage disposal to get rid of. Which is better for the environment for me to do?

That's my intuitive thought as well, that processing the water is more wasteful than whatever they do with the compost. Ideally, I'd do the composting myself in the back yard, but I don't have that option, and the indoors worm composting bins I've tried always died w/ fruit flies. (And w/ my current mouse and ant problems I *definitely* wouldn't want to try it.)
