Contrary to what some people think It is not a good idea ( great invention) but will cause you problems in the long run!.My husband worked for Rooter rooter yrs ago!. No rice,Potato's fish heads bones can break the blades and will gum up your pipes and the disposals are a nightmare to replace!.I do throw down a couple ice cubes now and then to sharp in blades!. I use to manage a huge beautiful Apt complex!. Everyday people called fix my disposal ,So the maintenance men would try, some were fixed others broke because of above mentioned!. Just throw in garbage or compost!.!.!. Hope this helpsWww@FoodAQ@Com
Yes it is, but do not leave it in there too long other wise it will attract rats and vermin and unwanted insects!. also when you take the garbage out with the scraps in it make sure it is far away from the house so it doesn't attract pests!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

potato peels make a sticky gooe that gums up around the cutters and will plug up the drain, pasta does it also, I have un-gummed up drains that someone has started putting potato peels in by running ice cubes through the disposal!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
I really depends on your disposal!. We have a new one that shreds everything but the one it replaced would definitely not eat potato peelings!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
Absolutely! I've done it for years with no problem!. I'll also share a tip that you may/may not know!. If the disposal starts smelling funky, throw some orange peels down it!. :)Www@FoodAQ@Com
Potato peels are on of the main things that clog kitchen drains even with a disposal!. A good one may chop them up well enough!. But why bother!?
