The Truth About Eggshell Disposal Omelettes are popular, but many do not know how to dispose of eggshells safely. Crushing eggshells does not prevent pipe blockages.

When eggshells enter the drain, even tiny pieces can cling to moisture and debris inside pipes. Over time, these fragments collect and create a larger clog. Eggshells can also combine with grease and food, forming tough blockages.

The rough surface of eggshells can wear down pipes, especially in older plumbing, leading to leaks. Careful disposal of eggshells helps keep your plumbing safe.
