I have been a state licensed septic system designer for over 20 years and am also a professional engineer. Septic Systems and Garbage Disposals do not mix!
Even if you design for the garbage disposal, it is still a bad idea. The garbage disposal chops up organics into very small pieces. The smaller the pieces, the harder it is to settle out in the septic tank. Whatever does not settle out in your septic tank gets sent out to your effluent disposal area (leachfield) and clogs it up.
