Hi, this is Jerica from InSinkErator Customer Service. Your InSinkErator disposer is designed for use on all kinds of food waste. Most vegetable, fruit, and meat waste can be disposed of easily in your disposer. The disposer can even dispose of bones. In fact, grinding bones keeps the shredding components in the disposer clean and moving freely. They also create a scouring action that will scrape off leftover particles inside the disposer that may cause odor. Fruit pits from peaches, nectarines, plums, etc. do a good job of this too.
Do not place extremely fibrous materials into the disposer. Some of these include corn husks, artichoke leaves, and flower stems. Also, do not place oyster, clam, shrimp or other similar shells in the disposer, or any type of non-food waste such as paper or plastic items.
I have included the link to our care and use booklet for additional information.
