A garbage disposal can be severely damaged or ruined by disposing of inappropriate items such as fibrous vegetable husks, starchy potato peels in massive quantities, grease, cooking oils, bones, coffee grounds, and non-food items like glass or metal. Pouring hot grease down the drain coats the internal blades and solidifies, while fibrous materials wrap tightly around the impeller shaft, forcing the motor to overheat, jam, or burn out prematurely.
