If your kitchen sees frequent guests, post some safety guidelines to prevent garbage disposal misusing!

For starters, understand that you can’t put just anything down the disposal. Here are some things you should never put down a garbage disposal because these items promote clogs:
Coffee grounds
Pasta
Rice
Bones
Dead pets, no matter how small
Fruit with pits
Oil
Bacon grease or other kinds of grease
Pasta and rice both can expand when wet. This promotes clogging. Grease and oil can solidify when cold. This can promote clogging. Bones or fruit pits can damage the unit.
It should go without saying that the garbage disposal is also not the appropriate means to dispose of glass, plastic, paper or metal. It should go without saying, but it is being said here because some people have put such things down their garbage disposal, so it’s being said anyway.
Making sure you aren’t putting the wrong things down your disposal is one of the most important steps you can take to prevent problems. It wouldn’t be a bad idea to print the above list and post it on the refrigerator, at least until you have it memorized.
If your kitchen sees frequent guests, it wouldn’t be a bad idea to post some safety guidelines permanently. Better safe than sorry and it might prevent some unfortunate incidents and hard feelings between you and friends or family.
Other Prevention Tips
You should also be mindful of making sure small, hard objects don’t land in the disposal. One thing that helps is that you can get a mat for the bottom of the sink to prevent small items like forks from accidentally landing in the disposal
Another approach is that you can just institute personal habits and household policy that no one ever puts forks or similar small objects in that side of the sink. Make sure all dishes and the like go into the other side of the sink.
Also, think before you do anything new and unusual. If you decide to re-pot a few overgrown houseplants in the kitchen, make sure to not do it in the disposal side of the sink or to otherwise take appropriate precautions.
It’s not uncommon for houseplants to have pebbles in the soil. Even if there are no pebbles, soil is not something that belongs in the garbage disposal.
Also, you should always start running the water before you turn the disposal on. Don’t run the disposal dry. This is very hard on the unit and can promote problems.
If you think prevention is too much of a hassle, remember the saying “If you don’t have time to do it right, when are you going to find time to do it over?” Learning to use it properly is something you should expect as par for the course.
If you can’t be bothered to learn to use the disposal properly, it might make more sense to not have one. Misusing it is actually a potentially serious safety issue.
