While there are the obvious things we all know that can’t go down the garbage disposal, there are also things that could cause real damage that may not be so obvious.
We’re breaking down what is good to go and what shouldn’t go down the disposal.
Good to go:
Small amounts of food scraps that will easily break down or soft foods (cereal, ice cream, applesauce, yogurt)
Liquids (milk, juice, coffee)
Citrus peels
Dish Soap
Ice cubes
Do not put down the disposal:
Bones
Celery
Fruit or vegetable peels (except for citrus peels)
Grease
Coffee grounds
Egg shells
Meat
Rice
Oatmeal
