Clogging Your Drain

Can I put my pumpkin pulp down the drain?

The joys of carving pumpkins and being left with stringy pumpkin pulp all over. No, you should not put your pumpkin pulp down the drain. It is stringy, slimy, and it will harden up when it is dry. That will harm your plumbing.

I have a garbage disposal, can I still put my pumpkin pulp down the drain?

No, it will dull your blades and end up damaging your plumbing. Pumpkin pulp might seem like it will go down easy. You have to remember that just because you can't see it doesn't mean it's not sitting there. I understand that you paid hundreds of dollars to be able to put whatever you would like down your garbage disposal. That's not how it works. You want your garbage disposal to last and to function correctly. Also, if you have food that wont go down the drain, it's going to sit there and stink up your kitchen. rotten food is the worst. You can get sick from the smell and the bacteria sitting in your sink.
        Stringy or fibrous vegetables will clog the drain. Starchy foods will swell and also clog the drain. Never drain grease, oils, or fats(use an old coffee can to dispose).
Remember to put a little dish soap with cold water down the garbage disposal to keep it clean.
