Why Should I Install a Garbage Disposal?

Doing dirty dishes whether by hand or by a dishwasher usually involves an extra step. First the dishes need to be scraped off since there are frequently several food particles that are stuck on the plates. These particles should not be rinsed down the drain since they can easily cause a clogged drain. By having a garbage disposal installed, these scraps of food can be washed down the drain without worry of clogging. The garbage disposal will grind away at the scraps until they no longer exist.

There are two kinds of garbage disposals to choose from. One is the continuous feed model that will constantly use water to process the food scraps. This type uses an external switch needed to be turned on to operate. The other type is a batch feed model. These will also use water to grind the food, however, are turned on by placing a stopper in the sink's drain.
