Peelings shouldn't cause a problem...except for celery and onion skins because of the stringiness of the vegetable.
Celery will cause problems guaranteed. One trick I've used in the past is if your disposal is clogged, and the water in the sink slowly drains, try putting ice cubes in the disposal. Run the disposal and let the blades chop up the ice. Often it will break up whatever is causing the clog.
