Garbage disposals are great for light food scraps, but treating them like a trash can is one of the quickest ways to cause massive pipe clogs and expensive repairs.
3 things to NEVER put down your disposal:
1️⃣ Fats, Oils, & Grease: They cool down and solidify inside your drain pipes like concrete.
2️⃣ Starchy Foods (Pasta, Rice, Potato Peels): Expand with water and create a thick sludge that jams the blades and blocks water flow.
3️⃣ Stringy/Fibrous Veggies (Celery, Corn Husks): Entangle the impeller blades and burn out the disposal motor.
💡 Pro Tip: Always run cold water before, during, and for 10 seconds after grinding to flush waste all the way down the main line!
