How to dispose of the glass in the waste disposer?

In our daily lives, occasionally we accidentally break a vase or cup that is being cleaned. If there are children in the family, broken cups are more common. If you accidentally get glass shards into the cleaning garbage disposal, you need to dispose of it. Here is a detailed introduction to what measures should be taken if there is broken glass in the home garbage disposal.

 

 

1. The necessity of disposing of glass in waste disposer

 

When disposing of the glass in the household waste removal, do not put your hand in it, because it is easy to cut your fingers. Another point is that when putting garbage into the household garbage disposal, unplug the power completely. In order to avoid accidental injury, it is not enough to simply turn off the small garbage disposal.

 

If there is broken glass in the garbage disposer, you can remove it with the tools (needle-nose pliers and flashlight) at hand. Needle-nose pliers can help you sort out glass shards from the waste disposer. It is best to hurry up before the glass is completely broken, so as to avoid leaving small pieces in the waste disposer. In order to better see the situation in the processor, you also need a flashlight, the flash of the mobile phone is also possible. But personally, I think the flashlight is more convenient. You can hold the flashlight in your mouth when using pliers, or you can buy a head-mounted lamp.

 

 

2. Remove larger glass blocks

 

When you have glass shards to be cleaned up, of course you hope that they are all large pieces, so it is relatively easy to clean up. When taking the glass, disconnect the power first. Please unplug the power plug from the socket under the sink. The garbage disposer is now closed, please find out as much as possible. If there is a light above the sink, turn it on. You also want the flashlight to glow in the disposal room. In this way, you will know where the glass will arrive. Use needle-nose pliers to remove glass shards from the waste disposal site.

 

 

3. Remove smaller glass fragments

 

If the device is operated without knowing that there are glass shards in the private waste disposal, there will be a smaller piece of glass stuck in the device. At this time, we need to cut off the power and take out the large pieces of glass first. As always, turn off the sink garbage disposal, then unplug it from the power socket under the sink, and use needle-nose pliers to remove the large pieces. The next most difficult task is to remove the hard-to-reach debris. We recommend using store vacuum or wet and dry vacuum for this job. Good suction helps to remove glass particles attached to the surface.

 

4. Operational disposal

 

What if you can't remove all the glass from reliable garbage disposal? For those glass fragments that are too small, you need to run the sink and turn on the kitchen garbage disposal system. When doing this, make sure not to put your face and hands in disposable places. The water and the rotating blade should rinse off the rest of the glass.
