Do garburators put excess strain on waste management?

I feel in the suburbs where you have cookie cutter houses that all have garburators it must add a little bit of load. How does it compare to municipally run composting?

It's great if you don't abuse it, it's not intended for anything big. Little bits of stuff in the bottom of your sink? Rinse and turn the motor on.

I don't really have any faith at all in people's ability not to abuse things. Especially something like this that magically makes physical problems disappear.

I mean that's where the hand/chicken bones inside the garburator trope comes in with horror movies and sitcoms
