It is important to never put down the garbage disposal for a couple of reasons.
First, it can cause serious damage if the blades are exposed. The blades beneath the sink can become extremely sharp and if something gets caught in them, it could cause injury or further damage to the disposal.
Second, garbage disposals can easily become clogged if not handled properly. Food particles that are too large or items that should not be put down disposal can accumulate and cause a blockage.
This can lead to the disposal malfunctioning, requiring repairs and in some cases, even replacement.
Finally, putting objects down the disposal that are not meant to be there can damage the blades or motor.
It is best to avoid putting anything down a garbage disposal that is not meant to be there, as the damage can be costly and inconvenient.
