  • Continuous Feed Models – The most common type, allowing for easy use with a simple switch.

  • Batch Feed Models – Ideal for families looking for added safety, as they operate only when covered.

  • High-Horsepower Disposals – Perfect for handling tough food waste with less risk of clogs and jams.

Not sure what’s best for your kitchen?

Our experts will help you choose the right disposal based on your kitchen needs and budget.

    • 1/3 HP – 1/2 HP – Best for light use in small households.

    • 3/4 HP – 1 HP – Ideal for most homes, handling tougher food waste.

    • 1+ HP – Heavy-duty disposals designed for large households or frequent use.

    • Single-Stage Grinding – Basic food waste disposal.

    • Multi-Stage Grinding – Breaks down waste into finer particles for smoother drainage.

    • Premium models offer insulated sound chambers to reduce noise.

    • Some disposals are designed to work safely with septic systems.

Preventative Tips to Keep Your Garbage Disposal Running Smoothly

✔ Run cold water while using the disposal to prevent clogs.
✔ Avoid fibrous foods like celery, potato peels, and corn husks.
✔ Don’t pour grease or oil down the drain—they can solidify and cause blockages.
✔ Use ice cubes & citrus peels to clean the blades and reduce odors.
✔ If your disposal jams, never use your hands—call a professional!

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Can I put all food scraps in my garbage disposal?
No. Avoid putting grease, coffee grounds, fibrous vegetables (like celery), and large bones down the disposal, as these can cause clogs and damage the unit.

How long does a garbage disposal last?
With proper use and maintenance, most garbage disposals last 8-15 years.

Is it better to repair or replace a broken disposal?
If the motor is burned out or repairs are costly, replacement is often the best option for long-term reliability.
