01
Why the pipe objects
Thick, fibrous peels can tangle or contribute starch and solids to the drain. Heavy-duty models differ, so the manual gets the final word.
02
Do this instead
Compost or trash them whole.
03
Already did it?
If the disposal is jammed, turn off power before doing anything near it. Use the manufacturer’s safe reset steps or call for service.
