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 preventive measures can avoid future drain clogs?

• <div><p>Regular maintenance, such as not disposing of grease or coffee grounds down the sink and routine use of strainers, can prevent clogs.</p></div>

Q: Will any size garbage disposal fit my sink?

• <div><p>While the part of the garbage disposal that attaches to the sink is universal, not every single disposal will work in every sink cabinet. A larger disposal may be too big to fit in a compact space, for example. If the pipes under your sink are arranged in an unusual way, it may be difficult to put in a bigger disposal, even if there technically is enough space.</p></div>

Q: Why does my garbage disposal have power but won’t spin?

• <div><p>If your garbage disposal powers up and you can hear it hum, but the arms inside aren&rsquo;t moving, the problem might be a stubborn clog, a build-up of grease, or a jam of the impeller plate. To troubleshoot these, ensure your unit is off and disconnected from its power source before checking inside the drain or attempting to manually rotate the impeller arms or plate from the underside of the unit. A hex wrench can help.</p></div>

Q: Is soil bad for garbage disposal?

• <div><p>Soil is just one of the items you <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/what-not-put-down-garbage-disposal.htm">shouldn't put down a garbage disposal</a>. Garbage disposals are only meant for soft, non-fibrous foods. Large amounts of topsoil, dirt, or rocks will damage the blades of your garbage disposal or clog the pipes. If a small amount of dirt goes down the drain as you repot a plant, you shouldn't have to worry, but never dump a whole pot of soil in the sink for fast disposal.</p></div>

If I could give negative stars, I would. Matt not only took our money and didn't finish the job (making promises over several months for what was supposed to be a 2-week job), his shoddy half-attempts cost us more money to remove so we could hire someone else. Smooth talker, but don't believe a...
