If I peel potatoes or eggs, I usually throw it in the trash can, not disposal. Which do you use?
I do use the disposal for some stuff, but I figure that if I can put it in a trash can, then why not?
-
I think we only use the garbage disposal when the sink seems clogged up. lol Table scraps and the like we throw out back for the wildlife. I sometimes forget we even have a disposal. ;D
-
I use the garbage disposal regularly, maybe too regularly. I am more prone to scrap food off down the garbage disposal than the trash. It irritates me for the sink to get clogged so I guess it makes me feel better to use the garbage disposal side for everything.
-
Yes, I use my garbage disposal on the regular, helps out a lot but you have to clean it on the regular.
-
It is very rare that I use our garbage disposal. Given that I need to replace it every four to five years I would like to just take it out. Same thing with the dishwasher. Every five to six years I need to replace the dishwasher and I wash the majority of my dishes by hand. My kids were home for Thanksgiving, My son brought his dog, the dog ate a remote control for one of the television sets. Once again, it is rare that I watch television. All three of these items cost money and only my family uses them. If my computer, car, or telephone get messed up I need to replace them immediately (if not sooner) because my making money depends on all three. I have two back up laptops just in case (shudder) one of my computers goes down. These items are always within reach and I do not worry about them disappearing.
-
I periodically use the garbage disposal, usually when the water is draining slow for some reason. We use the trash cans for peelings, etc.... but the sink does need the occasional flip of the garbage disposal switch.
-
I rarely used my disposal. Always throwing all my trash in the in a garbage can. I just used it sometimes to clean and unclogged it.
-
I don't really use my garbage disposal. If I peel anything, I put it in the trash. I only use my disposal when I am washing dishes and a few crumbs are left behind in the sink. I used the garbage disposal to clean the sink.
-
I wish, mine just broke!
-
Yes, I use it regularly. It's funny i never had one, never wanted one. We had the kitchen remodeled 2 years ago and when I was picking out a new sink my sister (who has one) insisted I get one. I gave in and had one installed. I love it. So glad I listened to her.
-
I rarely use my garbage disposal. I put potato, carrot, apple, etc peelings in the garbage. I will run the briefly after hand washing dishes if there is gunk in the disposal lid.
-
I don't even have a garbage disposal in my sink which I am real glad about because I am terrified of them anyways. I would always worry about the grandkids putting their hand in one while it was running or similar awful things happening.
-
We use ours fairly regularly - most vegetable peelings and egg shells go into the trashcan, but all other table scrap food items generally get rinsed down the disposal.
-
I do use it to get the sink unclogged so I do not have to do it myself.
-
Yes.
I don't put a lot of garbage down there, I throw that in the garbage.
However I run it a few times a week, just to keep it clean in there.
I live in a big apt building, so I take care of the drains in my apt.
:rose:
-
when I was younger I would have like to have one, now it would be one more thing to have to work on when it breaks.
-
Funny you brought up this subject. My disposal is rather old and isn't grinding as efficiently as it used to. I was just thinking I may be getting a new one at the same time I am getting a new kitchen sink this summer. I use mine enough that I would miss having one!
-
We don't have a garbage disposal, so we put stuff like that in the top of the freezer until trash day pick up.
-
why would you put stuff for the garbage disposal in freezer till trash day :o ;D
-
It seems bizarre to me that people would throw garbage down the sink. Even if it's ground up, where do you think it goes? You're asking to clog your pipes. Throw it in the trash.
-
Never had one and really don't want one. I just put everything in the trash can and take it out every night after dinner.
-
To be honest, I keep reading online so many things you shouldn't put down the garbage disposal so I rarely put anything down it.
-
I do use my disposal very regularly. I don't put potato peels tho; it always jams mine up!
-
I do not have a Garbage Disposal, but it is on my list for a Christmas Gift. I hope that I get one.
-
I belong to clean plate club so I have very few scraps and I never put peels down so why bother with it
-
Yes, I use it quite a bit.
-
We don't have one. Wish we did though!
-
We do not have one.
-
No, I have never had one before. We just have always threw our garbage out with our trash.
-
I try to use it for peelings, egg shells etc. Have to always put something to odor control afterwards. Usually baking soda and lemon juice......
-
I have never had one so i don't know what i'm missing.
-
I use mine regularly. It comes in handy but I use the trash, too.
-
yea sometimes
-
We don't have one, we have an older model home.
-
Years ago when I was unaccustomed to having a garbage disposal, I put tomato skins (lots of them) down the drain. I ended up with a blockage and ground-up skins all over the basement and the plumber had to make a visit. Now I just run it briefly after I do dishes for any food particles from the dish water. Lesson learned.
-
I use a trash can. I don’t see what good a garbage disposal would do me.
-
i dont have a garbage disposal
-
we have an older home..so we have never had one...
-
I rarely use my garbage disposal. It seems like everything just ends up in the trash but I do make sure to clean it with baking soda and vinegar once a month.
-
Only during the last month of the year which is this month just to get rid of anything that is really unwanted at home.
-
I don't have a garbage disposal.
-
Yes, if there are things that can go down the garbage disposal.
-
I do the same I give the peeling egg shells coffee ground to my backyard, I plant all seasons here every year. But others do accumulate, try as little as I can down the garbage disposal, so happy I have one. I clean it all the time.
-
Yes I have one and use it ever day or I would be taking the trash out every day
-
I've never had a garbage disposal. A trash can works fine for me.
-
I do use mine regularly. I put shrimp shells, egg shells, vegetable peelings, etc. I never put onions down. after I run it I run some lemon juice and baking soda to make it smell fresh!
-
Yep, all the time.
