Benefits of Using a Garbage Disposal
Some homeowners may question the value of having a garbage disposal, but we highly recommend its benefits. Garbage disposals provide numerous conveniences, are cost-effective, and are relatively easy to install. They can even increase your kitchen’s value. The advantages include:
- Reducing trips to the trash can with full bags.
- Decreasing the amount of organic waste sent to landfills.
- Minimizing unpleasant odors from trash bins in the home.
- Simplifying post-dinner cleanup.
- Lowering the risk of drain clogs when used properly.
What Cannot Go Down My Garbage Disposal?
Garbage disposals generally require minimal maintenance. Unlike heaters that need annual servicing, most disposals work effectively with proper use. While you should follow the manufacturer’s guidelines for specific maintenance, avoid placing the following items in the unit:
- Hard objects, such as fruit pits or uncooked animal bones, which can damage the disposal. While some newer models can handle them, it’s best to avoid these items.
- Fibrous foods like celery stalks and corn husks, which can wrap around the unit and strain the motor.
- Fats, oils, and grease (FOG), which may seem fine to pour down the drain when hot but can solidify and cause clogs as they cool.
