Garbage Disposal FAQs

How long should a garbage disposal last?

Most disposals last 8–10 years with regular use and proper care.

What can I NOT put in a garbage disposal?

Avoid bones, grease, fibrous vegetables (like celery), coffee grounds, eggshells, and pasta.

Why does my garbage disposal smell bad?

Trapped food particles may be decaying. We recommend professional cleaning or a deep flush with safe cleaning agents.

Can I install a garbage disposal myself?

It’s possible, but risky. Improper installation can lead to leaks, electrical hazards, or voided warranties. We always recommend using a licensed plumber.
