Garbage Disposal Care and Installation Guide – GPS Plumbers Melbourne FL
What Not To Put Down Your Garbage Disposal
Your garbage disposal is a valuable kitchen tool, but it’s not designed for all types of food waste. Always dispose of most items in your trash. Common causes of broken garbage disposals include:
- Eggshells
- Coffee grounds
- Banana peels
- Stringy vegetable peels (asparagus, potato, celery, lettuce)
- Animal bones
- Grease
- Rice
- Pasta
- Fruit pits or seeds
Tips to Keep Your Drains From Getting Clogged
- Install a hair trap on your shower drain: Prevent frequent drain cleaning with these inexpensive plastic devices.
- Use a lint-trap on your washing machine: Avoid clogged drain lines and excess water in your machine.
- Rinse your drains regularly: Use a warm water and vinegar solution for best results.
- Dispose of cooking oils and grease properly: Collect them in a used milk carton for trash disposal to prevent pipe blockages.
- Avoid putting certain foods in your garbage disposal: Coffee grounds, pasta, celery, rice, and eggshells should go in the trash.
