Quick answers
No. 01 How long should a garbage disposal last?
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.
