Don’t Put These Items Down Your Max garbage Disposal
garbage disposal
There are a few biodegradable items that aren't a good idea for disposals, such as:
Fruit pits: Fruit pits are best to be deposited in your compost or garbage, not the disposal.
Large bones: If you're finding yourself trying to shove something in the disposal, then it's too big. Toss big bones in the compost or trash.
Shrimp shells: Shrimp shells are pretty tough and can also leave a not-so-fresh scent.
Banana peels: Because they're super fibrous, toss your banana peels in the compost instead.
Nuts: Let's just imagine peanut butter in your garbage disposal for a moment. Yeah, not such a good idea.
Grease: Avoid pouring grease or anything super fatty down your drain or in your garbage disposal. It congeals into a big, nasty mass that will clog your pipes.
Corn husks: Husks are another fibrous material that make your disposal work really hard. It's best to toss them in the compost.
Onion skins: Onion skins are also a no-no for the garbage disposal.
Artichokes: The leaves of an artichoke are really tough and can get caught in the disposal blades, causing it to break down.
Potato peels: Potatoes are really starchy, which isn't a good combination with your garbage disposal — or your drain. Toss in the compost instead.
Asparagus: Another fibrous veggie that isn't good for the blades of your disposal.
Pasta: Pasta expands in pipes, even after it's been shredded to bits, which can cause clogs.
Rice: Just like pasta, rice expands so avoid letting it slip into your disposal.
