Garbage disposals are a convenience in many homes, but their use is sometimes misunderstood by many well-meaning homeowners. In this second episode of our series, "How Does it Work?", we talk with Jeff Ball about the two schools of thought on the use of garbage disposals. We discuss what is and is not acceptable use of this modern convenience, and give homeowners some tips and tricks to keep in mind.
If you own a garbage disposal, be sure to refer to the owners manual provided by the manufacturer, and always defer to their recommendations.
