A garbage disposal unit, often referred to simply as a garbage disposal, is a household appliance installed under a kitchen sink that grinds food waste into small particles, which can then be flushed away through the plumbing system. The primary purpose of a garbage disposal is to reduce the volume of food waste and make it easier to manage kitchen waste.
