I've never had a problem running citrus rinds down a disposal in prior homes, but I do notice that the disposal in our 2-yr-old TV home is very weak--won't even grind up small radishes unless I cut them up. So I'm careful with the size and quantity of citrus rinds I introduce at one time, and add ice cubes at the same time.

Thanks for the warning, Kitty.
