To avoid plumbing disasters in your kitchen, never place hard-to-grind, stringy, fibrous waste, such as poultry skins, banana peels, carrots, celery, or cantaloupe pulp, into the garbage disposer.

You should also run cold water down the drain for about 15 seconds before and after using the garbage disposer to flush the waste down the main drain.
