(This isn't the answer) I saw my roommate dumping some coffee beans as well as other pieces of food that were larger than crumbs. I told her that those things can't go down the sink and that's why we have a drain filter because it clogs the sink (our kitchen is original to the 1920's house we live in). She just looked at me and said "Well I've been doing this since we moved in," and kept on doing it. I don't want to get in a fight with her over it, but I also want to respect our landlord and not cause unneeded problems. What should I do?
