A garbage disposal is an electrically powered devise (the most common) installed under a kitchen sink, usually between the sink’s drain and the trap, which works by crumbling food waste into bits small enough to cross through plumbing. There are two types of garbage disposals; continuous feed and batch feed. Plumbing experts can determine which one of these two systems is better for you.

The United States is a global leader as a manufacturer of garbage disposals with Michigan emerging in the top five nationally.
