Garbage Disposal-Expert Garbage Disposal Advice

Understanding Garbage Disposals

Garbage disposals are electrically powered devices installed under kitchen sinks between the sink's drain and the trap. They are designed to shred food waste into pieces small enough (generally less than 2 mm) to pass through plumbing. The purpose of a garbage disposal is to reduce household waste by grinding up kitchen food waste, making it easier to manage and less likely to clog pipes. For example, after preparing a meal, one might scrape leftover food scraps from plates into the sink, where the garbage disposal grinds these scraps, allowing them to be flushed through the plumbing system.
