01
Why the pipe objects
Shell fragments and their membranes can collect with other debris. Grinding them does not make them disappear from the plumbing.
02
Do this instead
Compost clean shells or place them in the trash.
03
Already did it?
A single accidental shell is usually not an emergency. Never put your hand into a disposal; if it jams, disconnect power before following the manufacturer’s instructions.
