Garbage disposal removal across the Golden Isles.
Continuous-feed and batch-feed units. Corded units we unplug, release from the drain and mounting ring, and pull. Hardwired units, you or a licensed electrician disconnect the electrical first — then we release the drain and mounting and haul it out.
Part of our Appliance Removal service
Garbage disposal removal is one of the smaller appliance jobs we run, but it’s also one people most often get wrong on their own. The unit lives under the sink, wedged in tight against the trap and the cabinet wall, and it carries its own electrical connection — either a plug or hardwired into a junction box on the unit itself. Most of the weight is cast metal hanging off the sink flange, which is exactly why it’s awkward to wrestle out from a half-open cabinet.
For a corded unit, we unplug it, release the drain connection and the mounting ring, and pull it — all part of the haul. For a hardwired unit, the electrical needs to be disconnected first by you or a licensed electrician; once it’s clear, we release the drain and the mounting ring and pull it. Continuous-feed and batch-feed units come out the same way; the difference is in how they switch, not in how they mount. InSinkErator-style and similar under-sink disposals all hang off a standard mounting assembly, and that assembly is what we work with.
What customers call us back for on small appliance work is the same thing they call us back for on the big stuff: we do it cleanly, we don’t crack the trap or scuff the cabinet, and we don’t leave you with a mess under the sink. The disposal is leaving either way — the cabinet should look fine when we’re gone.

How we work
How we actually handle it.
Garbage disposal removal starts with access. The unit sits under the sink, usually behind a trap, a dishwasher drain line, and whatever else lives in that cabinet. We clear the working space first. For a corded unit, we unplug it. For a hardwired unit, the electrical has to be disconnected first by you or a licensed electrician — once that’s done, we take it from there.
From there it’s a mechanical job. We release the drain connection where it ties into the disposal, twist the unit off its mounting ring, and lift it clear. Disposals are heavier than they look — most of the mass is cast metal — so we support the weight rather than letting it drop and stress the sink flange or the trap below it.
A lot of disposal jobs aren’t standalone. They come up in the middle of a sink swap, a kitchen refresh, or a full appliance changeout, where the old disposal is just one of several units coming out. Tell us on the call whether it’s a one-off or part of a bigger kitchen job, and we’ll plan the trip around what’s actually leaving.
Pricing
How pricing works.
Garbage disposal pricing scales with access and what else is going. A single corded unit from an open, easy-to-reach cabinet is the lightest version of this job. A hardwired unit buried behind a packed cabinet, or one seized onto a corroded mounting ring, takes longer and prices accordingly.
Disposals are often bundled with other kitchen appliances — a dishwasher, a range, a refrigerator coming out in the same trip. Bundled jobs run more efficiently than the same items handled one at a time, because we plan the load once. Call us with the full picture and we’ll give you a real number before we touch anything.

The honest exceptions
What we won’t take — for this item.
A short, honest list of edge cases we either won’t take or want to discuss before we show up. When in doubt, call us — we’ll walk through it before scheduling.
- Modifying or re-piping the drain lines or plumbing under the sink — that’s licensed-plumber work
- Installing a replacement disposal or new unit — new-unit installation is licensed-plumber work
- Electrical work on hardwired units — that has to be disconnected by you or a licensed electrician before we haul
