A local plumbing company in Baltimore, Maryland, is causing a stir online regarding a kitchen appliance that might be a bit of a misnomer.
in which several of its plumbing professionals are asked a simple question: “What is one thing you should never put down your garbage disposal?” Their answers have led to a rousing and sometimes contentious discussion in the comments section.Freed Israeli hostage recounts her abduction, describes ‘spider web' of tunnels under Gaza“Cucumber peels, old cooked nooodles, have learned the hard way,” wrote another commenter.
Some folks took the opportunity to share the wildest things they have witnessed disappear into the growling monster living in their sinks. “I watched my grandma throw a whole jersey mikes down the garbage disposal last week,” commented another, to which someone else replied, “What did the sub do to gramma 😂.”“With garbage disposals, the best way to think of them is that they’re really designed for the stuff that comes off when you’re actually cleaning your dishes,” Adam Hauf, Prime Plumbing’s operations manager, tells TODAY.com.
“It’s really designed for the residual that is bound to wind up in your kitchen sink to grind it up smaller so that it’s less likely to cause a backup or negatively impact your draining system,” he explains. “You know, if you get a really high horsepower model, they’ll grind bones, oyster shells, they can grind almost anything,” Hauf says. “The problem is less about the wear and tear on a disposal and more about the impact of the items on your draining system.
