You can, but the two ends don't always grind up very well. And stringey things like banana peels and celery will tend to cause it to seize up. I would recommend using them in your garden for compost. They are supposed to be really good for tomato and rose plants. It has been not recommended, but I myself have cut 'em up and experimented with it, and it seems to work just find. I do know that egg shells and ice, either by themselves or together, sharpen the blades of a garbage disposal quite well, and it helps to do it daily depending on how much you use the garbage disposal.

Yes, you may put potato peelings into a compost pile. What you don't want to put there are dairy products, greasy or oil foods, and meat products. Those three groups are the most likely to attract foraging wildlife.

Yes, if included in your compost. Any natural produce that can be eaten by worms insects or other soil inhabitants gets broken down and can then be used as fertilizer. If you do not have a compost pile, bin or whatnot just dig the peels into your garden bed deep enough that they are not readily attractive to animals.

Yes, banana peels can be used as fertilizer. One peel may be chopped into small pieces for soaking in one quart (0.95 liter) of water to be diluted with three more quarts (2.84 liters) to make one gallon (3.78 liters) for pouring into soil or spraying onto plants. It serves as compost tea and pest repellent and, when it is dried and ground or puréed in a blender, as calcium-, magnesium-, manganese-, potassium- and sulfur-rich compost, fertilizer and mulch.

Yes. But you may want to break the pit up, because it will take a long time for it to break down, if you don't.
