I also throw my table scraps into the compost jar and then into the
bin, but one should not put grease, fat, bones, and meat into compost.

That stuff can go into the garbage.

I use my disposal very rarely; usually I put lemon rinds down the
disposal as a purifier.

As to the disposal, I've never heard of one stinking. The geniuses on
this NG will no doubt have wisdom about the pipes, the connections,
other elements that might be doing the stinking.

Awaiting with interest...
