Can I put chicken skin in the disposer?

A food waste disposer, also known as a garbage disposal, grinds scraps right in the sink: here is what happens with chicken skin.

No, not with any model.

It's very fatty: it goes in the food waste bin.

How it behaves in the disposer

Chicken skin looks harmless, but in the drain it behaves differently. It would never reach fine particles in the chamber: it would sit in the trap, or further along where the pipe narrows. Chicken skin is elastic and full of fat: it spins in the chamber without breaking down and the fat stays in the pipes. It's very fatty: it goes in the food waste bin. The right route is the food waste bin, with the rest of the kitchen scraps.
