I learned the hard way with a few "peon" disposals. One backed up over potato skins. One backed up over shrimp shells. One backed up over celery. Not necessarily in that order.
I asked our plumber in TV about switching to a higher horsepower disposal after the shrimp shells, and he looked at me like I was nuts and said This is the best you'll get. I don't use that plumber anymore.
No bones, no skins, no shells--you're going to have stuff that must go into a garbage bag.
I'm saying you can't do it all with a disposal. Unfortunately, you will need a trash bag.
