Frequently Asked Questions About Garbage Disposals

What can I safely put down my garbage disposal?

Soft food scraps like fruit peels, cooked vegetables, and small amounts of leftovers are generally safe. Avoid bones, grease, coffee grounds, and fibrous foods like celery.

Why is my garbage disposal making a humming noise but not working?

A humming sound often means the motor is jammed or the flywheel is stuck. Turn off the power and contact a professional to avoid damaging the unit.

How long do garbage disposals typically last?

With regular use and proper maintenance, a garbage disposal can last 8–15 years. Frequent clogs or strange noises may signal it’s time for a replacement.
