01

Why the pipe objects

Hard pits can jam or damage standard disposals. Some powerful models list specific pits as acceptable, so model guidance matters.

02

Do this instead

Place pits in compost only where your program accepts them; otherwise use the trash.

03

Already did it?

Switch off and disconnect disposal power. Do not reach into the chamber. Follow the manual or call a professional if the unit is stuck.
