I was envisioning my own situation: well constructed cabinets and
emptying the garbage bowl after every use. I have no control over the
quality of other people's kitchen cabinets or how long they keep their
compost inside the house. I certainly don't have freezer space to
store garbage.

I have good cabinets, too, but I was envisioning a problem if this device is
used over a long period of time and possibly has a lot of scraps (depending
on amount of cooking). That would unbalance the drawer. It might not do
any damage at all, but I would not want to take chances--kitchen cabinets
are very expensive.
