Unless you'd like to set an extra plate at the Thanksgiving table for your plumber, beware of over using the garbage disposal. A common misconception about garbage disposals is they should take whatever you stuff into them. They usually will - but your drain lines won't!! It's better to compost or dispose of things like turkey skin and parts, coarse produce and other questionable food items.

Things to avoid on Turkey day:

• To much of anything - Including Egg shells, coffee grounds, rice, pasta, potato skins, skins of meats, gravy, or stringy products like artichokes or celery.
• Doggie bags: Be smart and send leftovers home with guests instead of emptying your freezer to make room for the turkey and stuff that did not get eaten. Plan early and save room in your fridge by shopping light on the days before your holiday gathering.
• Prepare your home for visitors with a preventative maintenance on your guest bathroom drains and kitchen sink drain, laundry drains and lastly your main line to the street sewer.

This might avoid a potential emergency during your perfectly planned dinner party.

Good luck and have a plumber-less holiday!!
