1. Don’t Use Your Garbage Disposal As A Trash Can.

The Definitely Do Nots: Celery, Potatoes, Carrots, Onions, Lettuce, Grease, Oil, Fat, Bones, Egg Shells, Pastas, Rice, Coffee —These Items Are Difficult To Grind Up And Will Likely Cause A Blockage In Your Drains.

The Can Do’s: Keep Your Garbage Disposal Fresh By Pouring A Small Amount Of Baking Soda Inside And Run It With Some Cold Water. BONUS: Add Few Slices Of A Lemon Peel For A Fresh Scent!

If Your Garbage Disposal Is Broken, Don’t Try To Fix It Yourself. Give Warrior A Call.

2. Watch What You Flush.

Are You Hosting Thanksgiving?  There Is A Good Chance That One Or More Of Your Guests Might Flush Something That They Should Not.
