This is an excellent question that more homeowners should be asking. A common misconception is that anything and everything can go down a garbage disposal. In reality, several items should never be put down in a garbage disposal. This includes the scraps of many popular foods.
NEVER PUT THESE ITEMS IN A GARBAGE DISPOSAL:
- Cooking oil/grease
- Stringy fruits and veggies
- Pasta
- Rice
- Beans
- Coffee grounds
- Eggshells
