Reply To: Halacha: no chametz or sell chametz?

Thank you LU 🙂

Public Service Announcement to CR and people:

Do NOT get rid of dry oats in the garbage disposal!!!

I did that last year because I had already thrown out my last garbage bag of chametz trash and then realized that I still had some oats. I figured that I can save myself one more garbage bag (though I could have just taped the package up and thrown it in the dumpster as is) and a trip to the dumpster by getting rid of it in the garbage disposal before kashering my sink.

(Lazy yes I know but I was already worn out from cleaning and making trips)

Needless to say, last year I got a brand new garbage disposal for Pesach.

Sounds good but what that really means is that the sink’s drain pipe was clogged, and it was filled with irky still water.

Then, lucky me, I got to suck up the water with a turkey baster, as I waited another day or so for the plumber to install a new garbage disposal.

The plumber said that his wife once did the same thing with dry rice.

which brings us to….

Public Service Announcement #2:

Do NOT get rid of dry rice in the garbage disposal. (See the reference about the plumber’s wife)

Thank you 🙂
