garbage disposal

Garbage disposal, often called a waste disposal unit, is a device installed under a kitchen sink to grind food waste into small particles. When food scraps are rinsed into the sink and the disposal is turned on, the unit uses rotating blades to break down the waste, allowing it to pass through plumbing and be safely flushed away. This helps reduce organic waste in trash, minimizes odor, and prevents clogging in the pipes. Proper use and maintenance ensure the disposal operates efficiently and lasts longer.
