A disposal generally has no problem grinding most food waste, but it’s what happens AFTER the grinding that usually causes a clog. Often, this has to do with how food waste reacts to water – or lack thereof.

• Not putting enough water down the disposal when the disposal is running prevents waste from being flushed through the pipes
• Potato peels, once ground up, can form a starchy paste similar to mashed potatoes that can quickly become a clog. This is also true for banana peels!
• Coffee grounds and eggshells creates very tine granular waste that can stick to sludge found in pipes, causing a clog to form.
