Installing a garbage disposal is easy. Once you’ve installed one you’ve pretty much installed them all. With the right tools and a bit of patience, you’ll have your new garbage disposal up and running in no time. Here’s how to do it.

Tips for Success

  • Use the right size unit: Ensure your garbage disposal matches your household needs (e.g., 1/2 HP for small homes, 1 HP for larger ones).

Here the disposal is plugged into a switched wall outlet. If your outlet is not connected to a wall switch you can use a disposal switch such as this Danco Air Switch.

Hey, I'm Alex and I love tools. Having worked in carpentry and as a painting contractor I have a great appreciation for tool innovation. The freedom of cordless is amazing. These days, when not traveling with my wife Zhou, I remodel houses and write tool reviews. Enjoy the website. :)
