Did you know?? Part 2:
Things You Should Never Put Down A Garbage Disposal
5. Stringy, Fibrous Foods
Never put veggies like celery, onion peels, lettuce, corn husks, asparagus etc. down your garbage disposal. These items can get wrapped around the blades and could break the disposal.
6. Pits or Seeds
Many fruits have pits…peaches, cherries, even avocados! Trust us when we say the pit will 100% not make it through your garbage disposal if it’s dropped down there. If you by accident drop a pit down your sink, make sure your disposal is turned OFF before reaching down there to retrieve the pit.
7. Coffee Grounds
While we all need our morning cup of joe in the AM, watch where you put those coffee grounds. Over time, the grounds can put some wear and tear on the blades.
If you have the luxury of having a garbage disposal, make sure you take care of it! Putting harmful foods and liquids down your drain can not only break the disposal itself, but it can lead to clogged kitchen drains and leaky pipes under your sink.
