Garbage Disposals FAQ

Q: What is a garbage disposal, and how does it work?

A: A garbage disposal, also known as a waste disposal unit or garburator, is a kitchen appliance installed beneath the sink that grinds food waste into small particles, which can then be safely flushed down the drain. It works by using a motor to rotate blades or impellers, breaking down food waste into finer pieces.

Q: Are garbage disposals environmentally friendly?

A: When used properly, garbage disposals can be environmentally friendly. By reducing the amount of food waste sent to landfills, they help decrease methane emissions, a potent greenhouse gas produced by decomposing organic matter in landfills. Additionally, some municipalities utilize wastewater treatment plants to process food waste, further minimizing environmental impact.

Q: What foods can and cannot be put into a garbage disposal?

A: Garbage disposals can typically handle most food scraps, including fruit and vegetable peels, small bones, and leftover scraps from plates. However, it's important to avoid putting items like large bones, fibrous foods (e.g., corn husks, celery), grease, oils, and non-food items (e.g., plastic, glass) into the disposal, as these can damage the unit or cause clogs.

Q: How do I maintain and clean my garbage disposal?

A: Regular maintenance is key to keeping your garbage disposal in top condition. To clean it, you can run a combination of ice cubes and rock salt through the disposal to help remove buildup and sharpen the blades. Additionally, periodically grinding citrus peels or using specially formulated disposal cleaning tablets can help freshen the unit and prevent odors. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners, as these can damage the disposal.

Q: Can I install a garbage disposal myself, or do I need a professional?

A: While some homeowners may have the skills and tools necessary to install a garbage disposal themselves, it's generally recommended to hire a professional plumber or contractor for installation. They can ensure proper alignment, secure connections, and compliance with local building codes, minimizing the risk of leaks or other installation issues.
