Not everything can go down your garbage disposal. Some things can damage the blades, clog your drains, and lead to further plumbing issues down the road. Here are a couple of food items you should avoid:

  • Coffee grounds
  • Bones
  • Potato peels
  • Unpopped popcorn kernels
  • Banana peels
  • Onion skins
  • Fruit pits
  • Stringy vegetables (asparagus, celery, etc.)
  • Eggshells
  • Corn husks
