Types of Garbage Disposals

Garbage disposals come in different brands, motor powers, and sizes. Our expert plumbers can install any type of garbage disposal.

Continuous Feed Garbage Disposal

A continuous feed garbage disposal runs continuously after the operator activates the switch. The unit stops only after turning the switch off. Most models include an automatic reverse function to avoid jams. Some models also feature splash guards to prevent items from flying back out of the disposal during operation. Continuous feed disposals work well in commercial kitchens and homes where safe operation is less of an issue.

Batch Feed Garbage Disposal

Batch feed models work in batches and offer more safety than continuous feed models. The batch feed unit only runs when the stopper covers the disposal opening. Plus, the operator must turn on the activation switch. These models work great for homes with kids who may stick things down the disposal. The stopper prevents objects from falling into the disposal or accidents occurring while the disposal runs.

We are happy to discuss the pros and cons of each unit. We’ll work with you to recommend the best option to meet your needs and budget.

How to Maintain and Clean a Garbage Disposal

Maintaining your garbage disposal involves proper operation and cleaning. Properly operating the garbage disposal helps prevent damage and reduces wear and tear. Regular cleaning prevents odors and germs while keeping the unit working efficiently.

  • Run the water continuously while operating the disposal
  • Use cold water when processing food waste
  • Safely clean the inside of the unit to remove grease and other debris that build up over time
  • Check for any unwanted objects in the unit before running, like utensils, bottle caps, or other small objects
  • Teach children garbage disposal safety to avoid accidents

Garbage Disposal FAQs

When Should I Replace Instead of Repair a Garbage Disposal?

We recommend replacement when the cost to repair the unit is higher than the cost to install a replacement unit. During a repair call, we evaluate the issue to determine the best path forward.

Our goal is customer satisfaction, which means we want to offer the best solution to create lasting results. We don’t want to do a repair that won’t last. We provide transparent information to help you make an informed decision.

Certain items will damage your garbage disposal. Non-food waste can damage the blades or motor. Do not put metal, plastic, paper, or other non-food objects in your disposal.

Most food waste will process through the garbage disposal without issue. However, be careful with hard items like bones.

If in doubt, don’t put the item into your garbage disposal.

The average lifespan of a garbage disposal is ten years. The lifespan depends on how often it’s used and maintained. If properly cleaned and serviced, a garbage disposal may even last longer.
