01

Why the pipe objects

Skin is tough, flexible and fatty—a combination that can resist grinding while coating the drain line.

02

Do this instead

Wrap chicken skin and place it in the trash or an accepting organics program.

03

Already did it?

Do not chase it with boiling water or chemical drain cleaner. If drainage changes, stop using the fixture and contact a plumber.
