Pro Tip: Avoid Putting Certain Foods Down the Garbage Disposal

To prevent clogs and damage to your garbage disposal, avoid putting fibrous, starchy, or greasy foods down the drain. Items like rice, potato peels, coffee grounds, pasta, eggshells, and fats can cause blockages, build up, or damage the disposal’s blades. Dispose of these items in the trash or compost to keep your disposal running smoothly!
