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.

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!
