What type of food waste can I put in my Insinkerator disposal unit?

Asked a year ago
You can safely dispose of most food waste in your Insinkerator disposal unit. This includes fruit and vegetable scraps, coffee grounds, bread and pasta, small bones, and eggshells. However, certain items should never be placed in the disposal unit as they can cause damage or clogs. Avoid disposing of large bones, fibrous food waste like corn husks or celery, grease, oil, fats, seafood shells, coffee filters, or non-food items like plastic, paper, or metals. These can disrupt the unit's functioning or lead to blockages. Remember to always run cold water while using the disposal and gradually feed small amounts of waste to prevent jams.
