What should not be put in a garbage disposal?

• <div><p>These appliances certainly increase the number of things allowed down the drain, but they’re not foolproof. There are several <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/what-not-put-down-garbage-disposal.htm">items you shouldn’t put in your garbage disposal</a>, according to manufacturers and technicians. Don’t put coffee grounds down the drain. The same goes for eggshells, potato peels, hard foods, onion skins, and any dry, expandable food. Most importantly, never put grease or oils down the drain.</p></div>

Q: What are the negatives of a garbage disposal?

• <div><p>The two main negatives of garbage disposals are they are a safety hazard in homes with children, and they frequently encounter blockage issues. While they might be annoying to fix and monitor, garbage disposals can significantly lower your trash use and are a great way to dispose of organic waste. While there are negatives, the vast majority of homeowners acknowledge the positives are enough to install a disposal in their home. </p></div>

Q: Does ice clean a garbage disposal?

• <div><p>It&rsquo;s one thing that helps, alongside vinegar and baking soda. Ice acts as an exfoliant, helping to lift off any bits of food stuck on the disposal blades.</p></div>

Q: Are garbage disposals bad for the environment?

• <div><p>Garbage disposals can be considered bad for the environment due to their electricity usage, but good for the environment because they reduce the food waste sent to landfills. If everyone used a garbage disposal, it would tax the wastewater treatment facilities in that region, but if we had to choose one of the options, we&rsquo;d say they are a net positive on the environment when used correctly. </p></div>

Q: What is the average life span of a garbage disposal?

• <div><p>Garbage disposals last an average of seven years but can function well past 10 years. However, as time goes on and more food is ground, the grinding plates will slowly lose their edge and need replacing. A motor likely won&rsquo;t last 10 or more years, but you should be able to get a minimum of five years at least, even under heavy usage. </p></div>

Mike and his guys attacked a difficult job - reinforcing a crumbling 15 foot wall built long ago with concrete and heavy stones. We were amazed by their ingenuity and skill in tackling and completing this difficult project. The outcome is excellent, and we highly recommend Michal Cacillas...
