What NOT to Put in Your Disposal

Putting the wrong items down your disposal causes clogs, jams, and damage. Avoid these:

  • Fibrous vegetables like celery, corn husks, onion skins
  • Grease, oil, and fat (cool and throw in trash)
  • Pasta, rice, bread, and starchy foods
  • Coffee grounds (causes buildup)
  • Bones, pits, and hard shells
  • Non-food items like paper, plastic, or metal

Pro Tip: Run cold water for 15 seconds before turning on the disposal and 15 seconds after. This helps flush waste and keeps blades clean.
