How can I maximize the life span of my garbage disposal?

• <div><p>As with many appliances, proper maintenance is key to maximizing your garbage disposal’s life span. If everyone in your household is on board with <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-keep-your-garbage-disposal-running.htm">proper care and maintenance</a>, like running water while operating the disposal, you should get plenty of years out of your unit. Avoid putting the wrong food items down the disposal, including pasta, rice, bread, and more.</p></div>

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>

Overall service for collection of garbage was great. BUT when we canceled services at the end of October, because of a lack of response to negotiate a lower rate -it all has gone down hill. We were charged an additional quarterly rate. They failed to close the account in accounting. Have made...

I called Rooter MD to have my garbage disposal looked at. They were able to come out that same day, but I wasn't able to be there, so I scheduled it for the next day. The service person looked at my old garbage disposal, said the motor was not working and the disposal needed to be replaced. He...
