Garbage Disposal Maintenance: 5 Things to Never Put Down the Drain

Protect your plumbing. Our experts reveal the common kitchen items that lead to expensive CNY plumbing calls.

A garbage disposal is a convenience, not a trash can. In Manlius, we see many backed-up sinks caused by the same five culprits:

  • Coffee Grounds: They don't dissolve and turn into a 'brick' in your pipes.
  • Eggshells: The thin membrane can wrap around the blades.
  • Pasta/Rice: They expand when wet, creating a gelatinous clog.
  • Potato Peels: They create a thick paste that stops the motor.
  • Grease/Oil: Liquid now, a solid wall later.
