As the festive season comes around the amount of waste generated by kitchen users can easily increase and owners of sink waste disposers could do with taking a little more care, it has been suggested.In the US, the November feast of Thanksgiving observes many of the same food and drink traditions as Christmas, such as a large family meal centred on a roast turkey with all the trimmings.But according to a US newspaper the festivities can sometimes be disrupted by too much waste being put into the disposer unit.As the Minneapolis-St Paul Star Tribune reports The folks at In-Sink-Erator food waste disposers say they field 43 per cent more service calls on Thanksgiving than any other day.Do grind hard materials such as small bones, fruit pits and ice they help remove any buildup. But dont use your disposer like a garbage can avoid letting trash such as tea bags, bread ties and bottle caps fall into the sink because they can easily run down the drain and cause jams.While a little extra care might be needed come Christmas time, with appropriate use an In-Sink-Erator food waste disposer will function perfectly and serve a household throughout its lifespan.
