These are the most common types of garbage disposals, they can be installed in your existing sink, or install the disposal as a hole unit. It has small gears with teeth that spin in opposite directions, shredding all food and disposals into waste that flows down the drain. Running water before and after you use the garbage disposal will further help the waste flow down the pipe, and keep your in-sink disposal in good working condition.

Batch feed garbage disposals differ from the classic in-sink continuous disposals, by the way you turn the on, which is not just a on/off switch. There is a cover involved in the usage of the garbage disposal, ensuring safety, by not exposing a large hole at the bottom of your sink. Batch garbage disposals have a time limit, so the amount of waste you have the ability to dispose of is limited by time. So if you are a large house with a family who produce a lot of waste, this would not be your best option.
