Glass to me is not food, so it doesn’t go down the disposal, besides, there’s nothing to sharpen, it’s all full from the factory... If you need/want to knock all the crud out of it, just drop bones down it!

I agree with Ultralux
I do the same. I just avoid soft diets, but... I have soft leftovers too, so guess where they go.
Of course, I try to feed my disposer with a very balanced diet and after i use if for a considerable amount of food or every few days I fill the disposer with detergent (pencil-thick water flow, a squirt of detergent then close the tap) until the foam overflows on both drains. I let it run for 1 minute, then i rinse both sinks with the disposer on.
Turn off the disposer, fill the sink with water and use the disposer as my landlords says "only to drain the sink faster".
A few days ago I thought my crappy Badger disposer died, I was even thinking it would be the chance to get a decent disposer, but then it suddenly decided to come back to life.
Today I'm making chicken wings for dinner, intentionally to have tons of bones to clean it.
I can't imagine my life without a disposer.
Well actually i can, i lived 6 months at Extended Stay America in Dallas and it was a NIGHTMARE without a disposer or a dishwasher.

I use chicken bones or ice cubes.When I buy beef just buy it already trimmed of bones.Takes a BEEFY home unit to shred bones.Large commercial disposers were talking about 3-15Hp class-no problem!Those will grind ANYTHING thrown in them.But the plumbing system may not like it.

This 3/4 HP unit, as you see, will easily shred bones, even if they don't fit completely down in the grind chamber. Just the other day I disposed of a ham bone down the thing, it is a bit noisy, but it took care of it quickly!
Not that I'd do this regularly, but I find the idea of being able to drop one of those paper Chinese food containers, contents and all, down a commercial disposer and having it all disappear to be very intriguing...

My 3/4hp ISE made Kenmore spit a bone back at me once so I just don't do that anymore. But it will do it. I used to stick chicken bones down it all the time but they tend to make it smell more. I posted above about how I clean mine with Comet or bleach.
