Potatoes vs Disposal-Tip of The Day

The garbage disposal is a fabulous invention that reduces landfill wastes, green house gases, insect attraction, and potent smelling garbage. Despite the many advantages that come from garbage disposals, many people do not realize what should not be put down the disposal. Many customers that we serve are unaware that fibrous materials such as potatoes, pasta, rice, and celery can put a healthy plumbing system on the path to the equivalent of a plumbing system heart attack. These soft fibrous organic substances absorb water and can lodge in the trap underneath your sink like a 70 year old who lived off McDonalds their whole life. Keep that in mind next time you are peeling potatoes.
