Sometime ago,I had a garbage disposal in the kitchen sink.
Occasionally ,it would jam from too much fibrous vegetables,
or a staple from a carrot bag would get down there or
a pice of metal.I would use a large Allen wrench on the
bottom to work it loose and then cleared out the debris.
  One time,the line from the sink would plug and the 
water wouldn't go down.I took everything apart,cleaned
out the garbage to the 2 " pipe to the down pipe and
reassembled it.A week later,the same thing happened
and I cleared it out again.Another week later,
the same thing happened again.
  Now,I decided to see what was going on.I took the 
outside hose in thrugh a window,and with a dishpan
to catch excess water,i used a hi velocity flow
on the downpipe and up same a plastic baggie.
 The baggie got through the disposal and everytime,I 
a snake ,it would go through the tornup baggie.
When food went by it,it would trap the food and 
cause a plug.
  The next time,I had trouble with the disposal,I took
it out completely.It was more trouble than it was worth.
Now,I use the plastic bags than came with my daily
newspaper to discard the garbage.I would cut the bag
about 8 " deep to make a flap.Then dump the container
of garbage onto the bottom section of the opening,lower
the flap,stand the bag up and wrap it for discarding.
  I learned something new about plumbing repairs.
