You should avoid putting long, fibrous banana peels down your garbage disposal because the tough, stringy fibrous strands wrap tightly around the rotating impellers and shredder ring. Instead of being ground up, these fibers create a tangled rope-like mass that binds the motor shaft, causes severe mechanical jams, and clogs the drain pipes. If banana peels are accidentally put in, they must be pulled out manually with tongs. Verification: Check the grinding chamber with a flashlight and tongs to ensure no fibrous debris remains.
