Make sure tenant is properly advised and instructed on its operation and
leave it in place. If it clogs again and becomes an on-going problem remove
it.

Subject: [MBZ] Garbage Disposers Banned
So, we have a rental and as we are leaving our house yesterday evening to
attend a meeting, the resident calls to say that the kitchen sink is
clogged up. Being booked solid for the next 24 hours or so, I call a
plumber to take care of the problem. He calls after doing the job to say
that sweet potato peelings were run through the garbage disposer (GD) and
bunched up in the "J bend" causing the blockage. He removed and replaced
the trap, and took out the peelings. He proceeds to say that this house
was built before the use of garbage disposers, and is not designed to have
a GD. He recommends removing the disposer and restoring the original
configuration under the sink. I am not inclined to follow his
reommendation, believing it to be a desirable feature for residents. He
says that NYC and other cities have banned garbage disposers.
My question: Why have some cities banned GD's?
