You can put any kind of soft edible materials into a garbage disposal. It is best to avoid putting materials such as bone, coffee grounds, corn husks or other fibrous materials down the disposal.

Most pipes in your home will have curves in them, these are there to catch trash before it goes to the sewer (like food, grease, or solid waste). You have a number of options, you can either take the U-bend apart and clean it, or you could use bleach or vinegar to break up the gunk. Turn on a fan to remove the odor.

It is very possible that when your water heater starts making a lot of noise, there are serious issues. You are at risk of a short blowing your circuit breakers. It could also start to build up sediment, which clogs up your water heater and burns excess electricity to heat. You might be able to beat repairs temporarily by draining the system completely and then refilling it.
