They've outlawed garbage disposals in Raleigh, NC (plus, apparently they had already changed the regulations to say that you could only put soap and water down the pipes). Seems people 1) waste water and 2) put too much grease down them. Grease SHOULD NEVER go down a pipe.
Onions and pumpkin parts are particularly bad. Lemon peels are nice - they make the house smell good. Supposedly ice sharpens them too....
Most days in life don't stand out, But life's about those days that will...
The only thing that ends up in my garbage disposal is the crumbs I dust off the plates before putting them in the dishwasher. I put most everything else in the garbage. Kali loves potato peelings so she gets to enjoy snacks when I'm in the kitchen. If you've ever had to clean a stopped up disposal, you'll not soon forget it.![]()
