You should run your garbage disposal at least once every few days, even if you do not have active food waste to grind, to ensure optimal mechanical health. Running the unit regularly prevents internal metal parts and impellers from oxidizing, keeps the rubber shaft seals lubricated, and stops stagnant food sludge from drying out and hardening against the shredder ring. Verification: Turn on the cold water faucet and flip the disposal switch briefly to confirm smooth, quiet motor rotation.
