Health and Wellness Corner! An active retirement is the best!

8 Things You Should NEVER Put Down Your Garbage Disposal 1. Bones: They'll just keep spinning around and around with the blades. 2. Celery: The fibrous strings tend to tangle around our disposal's blades. 3. Coffee grounds: Coffee grounds are deceptive. They appear to go down easy, but really they're going to pile up and cause a sludgy, sediment-like mess in your drain.

4. Egg shells: There's a bit of argument on this one. Some people say they're totally safe for the disposal and actually help to sharpen your disposal's blades; while others believe the shells' membrane lining can stick to the sides of the disposal and wrap around the shredder, wreaking lots of havoc.

5. Fruit pits: Have you ever tried to cut through a peach pit or avocado seed? Yeah, that's just not going to happen. 6. Grease: Grease and oil might not even make it into the disposal and will likely clog up your pipes instead. 7. Pasta: Spaghetti, ziti, linguine, fusilli—whatever you like you sauce up always expands when exposed to water, even after you've fully cooked it. So whether you have a garbage dispos-al or not, you shouldn't dump it down the drain, where it'll swell and either fill the disposal trap or cause even bigger problems 8. Potato peels: These suckers can cause a soupy mess in your disposal down the road—even if you think you can get away with dumping them down the drain from time to time.
