If you own a garbage disposal, chances are you’ve already
seen a list of things you shouldn’t try to feed it. Maybe you’ve seen this list
as a challenge rather than a warning. You may have shoved one of the listed
items down, turned on the water and the disposal, and said, “Hah! Take that!”
But what you probably didn’t know is the list isn’t just things you’re disposal
CAN’T eat. It’s mostly things that will clog your drains AFTER your disposal
has eaten them. Stuff like bacon grease (or any other kind), coffee grounds,
egg shells, pasta, fruit and vegetable peels may make it through the blades of
your disposal just fine, but then clog your pipes below; a nightmare waiting to happen. Of course there ARE
things your disposal can’t eat. Bones and really fibrous stuff like celery,
banana peels and corn husks will just spin around until you manually fish them
out.
