01
Why the pipe objects
Long, tough fibers can tangle around disposal components and add a substantial solid load to plumbing.
02
Do this instead
Compost corn husks and silk or place them in the trash.

Already did it?
Stop feeding the disposal. If it hums, jams or drains slowly, switch off power and follow the manufacturer’s safe reset instructions. Never reach inside.
