Then that's what you should use it for, and put all those chips into a
composter.

You're obviously not on your own sceptic system, you're likely a
tenant. Many municipalities with public sewers no longer permit
garbage disposals, they place too heavy a load on the sewerage
treatment plant. I have my own sceptic system so I'm very careful
about what I put down the drain but the folks who live within the
village limits are on the public sewer system and a couple of years
ago they banned garbage disposals. The sewer plant sent inspectors
around and anyone who had a garbage disposal installed had to remove
it at their own expense. When they catch anyone placing banned
substances (cooking fats, paints, lube oils, solvants, insecticides,
etc.) into the sewer system the fines are horrific.
