Garbage Disposal Help
Garbage disposals decrease the amount of garbage in landfills. Since they eliminate garbage immediately, insects, rodents, and other pests are less likely to visit your garbage cans. This information sheet is designed to help you make an informed decision about selecting a disposal. Popham also encourages you to visit local business resources such as King’s Great Buys Plus and Lensing Home Consultants to learn more and to view products in person. Additionally, you may enjoy researching the websites at the bottom of this page. Popham does not endorse specific resources, but only offers them as a convenient source of information.
A garbage disposal unit is a device, usually electrically powered, installed under a kitchen sink between the sink’s drain and the trap which shreds food waste into pieces small enough to pass through plumbing to the municipal waste water facility. There are also models made especially for use with septic tanks.
