A garbage disposal will give you and your family countless years of use when it's properly maintained. Instead of having to stink up your house by throwing leftovers away in the trashcan, you can simply toss them down your kitchen sink. However, in order to prevent your pipes from clogging, it's important that you understand what the acceptable use of a garbage disposal is.
1. Avoid All Non-Food Items
A good rule of thumb to use with garbage disposals is to never toss any non-food items down it. This might sound like common sense, but you would be surprised at how many people throw toys, twist-ties, plastic bags and other non-food items down the garbage disposal. Doing so not only puts the integrity of your garbage disposal at risk, but it could also clog up your drain pipes and even damage your septic tank.
