Why Your Garbage Disposal is Worth the Investment

With a disposal unit at your service, food scraps and leftovers can be ground into tiny particles and safely washed away with water. This means less food waste in your trash can, fewer trips to the curb for disposal, and a cleaner, more hygienic kitchen environment.

Beyond the convenience it offers, a garbage disposal plays a significant role in reducing the environmental impact of food waste. Food waste in landfills generates harmful greenhouse gases like methane. By grinding and disposing of food scraps through a garbage disposal, you help divert organic waste from landfills.

Plus, food waste left in trash bins can lead to unpleasant odors and attract unwanted pests, insects, and rodents. Garbage disposals significantly reduce the amount of food waste stored in trash cans, which, in turn, reduces odors and the risk of pest infestations.

You Must Take Care of the Garbage Disposal

Owning a garbage disposal is more than about scheduling a kitchen sink disposal replacement every few years. To enjoy the full efficiency, effectiveness, and longevity of your garbage disposal installation in Golinda, make sure to use well and perform periodic inspections and maintenance. Here are some things to consider:

• Flush the garbage disposal with cold water while running it to remove food particles and debris.
• Refrain from disposing of hard items like bones, fruit pits, shells, and coffee grounds, as they can damage the disposal blades and motor.
• Always use cold water when running the disposal, as it helps solidify any grease or oil, allowing the blades to break it down more effectively.
• Do not put fibrous or stringy foods like celery, onion skins, corn husks, or banana peels into the disposal, as they can wrap around the blades and cause jams.
• Refrain from using chemical drain cleaners in the disposal, as they can damage the unit's components and pipes.
• Periodically inspect the disposal for any leaks or signs of water damage. Address leaks promptly to prevent further damage and water wastage.

These measures can help, but the garbage disposal is imperfect and can break down on its own – or succumb to accidental damage. Keep your senses on alert for any signs of trouble, and address issues sooner rather than later.
