Understanding Garbage Disposals

Before you know if you need garbage disposal maintenance or repairs, it’s best to understand what disposals are and the type you have. Garbage disposals are installed under the sink attached to your sink drain. They collect food waste and grind it into small particles. Those particles then move through your plumbing to a wastewater treatment plant, where they can end up as fertilizer or energy.

There are two common garbage disposals types Mr. Appliance regularly sees:

  1. Continuous feed disposals operate with a switch and run as long as the switch is engaged. This type makes it easy to clean your sink area and add more food waste while the disposal is running.
  2. Batch feed disposals must have a stopper over the drain leading to the disposal in order to operate with an extra level of safety. This type helps prevent non-food items from entering the disposal chamber.

Some items make garbage disposals run less efficiently by creating clogging or blockages, such as:

  • Eggshells
  • Coffee grounds
  • Potato peels
  • Grease
  • Nuts
  • Bones

Knowing your garbage disposal type and how to take care of it can reduce issues down the line and lessen the need for garbage disposal repairs.
