How Long Do Garbage Disposals Last?

In general garbage disposals are designed to last about 10 years. How you take care of your garbage disposal can of course change this lifespan. The best ways to take care of your garbage disposal includes:

• Run your garbage disposal on a regular basis
• Avoid putting items in the disposal that can damage it
• Don’t put too much food waste down the disposal at one time
• Use cold water instead of hot water

Once a garbage disposal has run its course it will typically begin to fail. Signs of a failing garbage disposal include, clogging more often, making abnormal noises, and generally perform weaker than before. If you are noticing any of these signs it’s best to contact a qualified plumber to take a look at your system. If it’s time for your disposal to be replaced DoneRite Plumbing is here to help you!

What Are the Different Types of Garbage Disposals?

There are two different types of garbage disposals to choose from for your home: batch feed and continuous feed disposals. Learn about each by exploring the insight below.

• Batch feed garbage disposals won’t operate until you first add a stopper over the disposal opening and turn on the switch, making it ideal if you have children or aim to be extra careful about not accidentally putting items you shouldn't into the machine. Because of the convenient safety features that come with this type of garbage disposal, it’s typically more expensive than other options.
• Continuous feed garbage disposals operate from the time you flip the switch to when you turn it off, allowing you to add food waste while it's running. Some units come with auto-reverse functions, innovative grinding features, and advanced circuitry to help prevent jams. This type of garbage disposal is easier to use and more affordable than batch feed models.
