How To Unblock A Clogged Garbage Disposal ?
Instead of calling the plumber the next time your garbage disposal clogs, try to fix the problem yourself. First, unplug the garbage disposal. Then, use a broom handle to manually rotate the blades. The broom handle gives you enough leverage to turn the blades even if there is a clog. Once the blades turn freely, remove the material that caused the clog. Only use your hand if you are sure that the power is completely disconnected. Once the clog is removed, plug the disposal back in, press the reset button, and turn it on. The unit should now work properly.
Can you put tea bags in a garbage disposal?
Of course there is no rule against it; however, you do not want to put certain things in your disposal. Potato peels can clog it, for instance. Also, throwing tea bags into your disposal is a bad idea as the strings on the teabags may wrap around the unit's hardware which can affect the performance of the disposal as well as the dishwasher (if it is hooked up with the garbage disposal).

Why does the air gap leak when you run your dishwasher?
Your air gap is not supposed to leak. Check the hose that leads from the air gap to the garbage disposal for a clog. This should resolve your problem.
What are you not supposed to put in a garbage disposal?
Rice and pasta- No matter how much water you run or how long you run the appliance, you can never break rice or pasta down small enough. Both items swell when they are in contact with water, so the small pieces will eventually gather in the trap and swell until it is closed.Animal bones- The garbage disposal is just not strong enough to break these down small enough to fit through. Animal bones are the most common thing that jams disposals.Grease- The grease will eventually solidify and clog a portion, or all, of your drain.Egg shells- Despite what you may have heard, egg shells do not sharpen disposal blades. I'm not even sure how someone would think that would work. Mostly they just end up clogging the line.Any kind of stringy or tough-peeled vegetable- This includes asparagus, lettuce, celery and potato peels. Maybe in a small amount the disposal can handle it, but I wouldn't try it.
