Benefits of Using a Garbage Disposal
Some homeowners may wonder if a garbage disposal is truly worthwhile. Our answer is a resounding yes. Garbage disposals offer many conveniences, are affordable, and their installation is straightforward. They can even increase the value of your kitchen. There are no significant downsides, only numerous benefits:
- Reduce trips to the trash bins with full bags.
- Decrease the amount of organic waste in landfills.
- Minimize odors from trash barrels in the house.
- Make post-dinner cleanup much easier.
- Reduce the likelihood of drain clogs when used properly.
What Cannot Go Down My Garbage Disposal?
Generally, garbage disposals require minimal maintenance. Unlike heaters that need annual servicing, most garbage disposals will operate well with proper use. Refer to the manufacturer’s guidelines for any specific maintenance needs, but typically, it means keeping certain materials out of the unit:
- Hard materials, such as fruit pits or uncooked animal bones, may damage the disposal. Even if some newer models can handle them, it’s best to avoid them.
- Fibrous foods like celery stalks and corn husks can wrap around the unit, straining the motor.
- Fats, oils, and grease (FOG) may seem logical to pour down the drain when hot, but they can congeal and cause clogs as they cool.
