Section 04 — FAQ

Quick answers

No. 01

How long should a garbage disposal last?

8–15 years depending on horsepower and use. If yours leaks from the bottom of the chamber, it’s done — that’s a sealed bearing failure.
No. 02

What can I put down a disposal?

Soft food scraps and citrus peels. Avoid bones, fibrous vegetables (celery, corn husks), grease, coffee grounds, and pasta — all common cause of clogs we get called for.
No. 03

Should I upgrade to a 1 HP unit?

Worth it if you cook often or have a household of 4+. Quieter, faster, and far less likely to jam.
