We redid our kitchen a few months ago and decided to take it out. We put in some really good strainer baskets, and I really don't miss it. FWIW, my mom never uses hers. I learned from her. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-use-your-garbage-disposal#post-237991 Fri, 27 Jul 2012 11:02:26 +0000 Mrs. Pickle 237991@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I use it every day! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-use-your-garbage-disposal#post-237952 Fri, 27 Jul 2012 10:52:17 +0000 LuLu Mom 237952@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I do all the time, DH refuses to use it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-use-your-garbage-disposal#post-237951 Fri, 27 Jul 2012 10:51:58 +0000 yin 237951@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have one but never use it. I use a mesh sink strainer and dump the food after I finish washing dishes. I'm too scared that the pipes would get clogged, even with the garbage disposal. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-use-your-garbage-disposal#post-237950 Fri, 27 Jul 2012 10:51:45 +0000 mamimami 237950@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Don't have one :( </p> <p>BTW I am pretty sure you're not supposed to use Drano in them.... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-use-your-garbage-disposal#post-237928 Fri, 27 Jul 2012 10:43:06 +0000 MrsBrewer 237928@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope, I don't even have one! I used to in our apartment, but the house we bought doesn't have one. I'm trying to get DH to install one for me though :-) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-use-your-garbage-disposal#post-237926 Fri, 27 Jul 2012 10:41:40 +0000 DillonLion 237926@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't know what I would do without our disposal. Stick my hands down in there and grab all the gunk and throw it in the trash? No thanks. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-use-your-garbage-disposal#post-237922 Fri, 27 Jul 2012 10:40:27 +0000 mrs. bird 237922@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We do! I hate throwing food in the trash, stinks &amp; gets gross, so we put stuff down it all the time. Probably not cherry pits though ;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-use-your-garbage-disposal#post-237861 Fri, 27 Jul 2012 10:19:25 +0000 Alivoo01 237861@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yup! You could use drano to help push that gunk down or if it's really bad, have the hubby snake it. It's easy. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-use-your-garbage-disposal#post-237259 Thu, 26 Jul 2012 23:52:40 +0000 Mrs. Cat in the Cradle 237259@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>All the time. Try plunging it. Ours backed up like that once, and the plunger actually fixed it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-use-your-garbage-disposal#post-237246 Thu, 26 Jul 2012 23:18:40 +0000 Sweet T 237246@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We use ours all the time. It's definitely something I look for in a home. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-use-your-garbage-disposal#post-237202 Thu, 26 Jul 2012 22:40:41 +0000 mediagirl 237202@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>All the time.I didn't have one growing up because we were on a well so I think it's awesome and totally abuse it. :-) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-use-your-garbage-disposal#post-237199 Thu, 26 Jul 2012 22:39:21 +0000 eeh 237199@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Growing up we never used ours. Got married and my husband used it all the time so I started doing it too. I used it all the time when cleaning out the fridge and getting rid of leftovers. </p> <p> Then, we moved to our new house and we don't currently have a dishwasher. It's a pain to make sure the strainer thing is in so nothing goes down the drain. And we have to take the trash out a lot more. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-use-your-garbage-disposal#post-237157 Thu, 26 Jul 2012 22:20:55 +0000 mrsjyw 237157@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Every day! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-use-your-garbage-disposal#post-237151 Thu, 26 Jul 2012 22:18:43 +0000 ChuckNorris 237151@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't use it very much, because it's just me most of the time (husband is a firefighter). We only have to take out our garbage for collection once every 1-2 months haha we just don't have much garbage. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-use-your-garbage-disposal#post-237142 Thu, 26 Jul 2012 22:13:08 +0000 autumnlove 237142@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I use it all the time! :-) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-use-your-garbage-disposal#post-237139 Thu, 26 Jul 2012 22:11:26 +0000 chopsuey 237139@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I never used to use ours, but recently started..<br /> I think I broke it. </p> <p>HAHA. I throw all types of things down there--cherry pits, orange peels.. anything I don't feel like tossing. :P </p> <p>Tonight black water started coming up from the sink and when I lifted the disposal switch, the water would whirlpool, but wouldn't go down the drain.. :P </p>
