Give Me Back My Silverware, You Infernal Machine

Along with fingers, garbage disposals can also ruin your utensils...if you own really crappy stuff like I have most of my life. I have plenty of forks that have been mangled by garbage disposals over the years, reducing the usable tines to three, and in some devastatingly tragic cases, two.

You could call a team of bumbling private investigators with a talking pup, or you could just read this tip: If you can't compost it, put your food waste in the trash instead of using the garbage disposal to save water and energy. Zoinks!

If You Say So

Don't bother - you can recycle it with the lime still inside. In fact, none of your recyclables need to be spotless, since most "contaminants" get cleaned out or burned away during remanufacturing. We'll drink to that.
