Abstract:
A galley vacuum waste disposal system is provided to facilitate the transport of galley waste. The system includes a basin for depositing waste. The basin is connected to a drain line coupled to a flush valve, leading to an existing sewage waste storage tank of an existing sewage waste system on an airplane. A manually operated flush switch signals a flush control unit to activate the flush valve, allowing the galley waste to be transported from the basin through the drain line and into the existing waste tank.
