I check which kind I had (Badger 1) and head off. The pipe to my other sink won’t stay straight unless the pipe to the disposal is connected to the disposal so I realize that I have to go to Home Depot for a new disposal. All I had to do was unplug the disposal, use a wrench to disconnect the disposal from the pipe under the sink and then turn the whole disposal until it came off. I decide to first see if I can take the disposal off and figure out from there if I could put a new one on. From what I read it seemed easy enough but I still wasn’t sure of myself and my lackluster handyman abilities. I said “no thanks” and did a little internet research. He then claims that someone would have to do an inspection first (cost tag $60) to see what “size” of disposal I needed and give me an estimate. I tell him that I’m not certain probably something lower to middle of line. The guy on the phone asks what kind of disposal. I asked how much it would be to replace a disposal. So at first I call a plumber to try to figure out how easy replacing (not installing) a disposal would be. In March, I finally made a deal with my wife that if she took care of a household chore I would get a new disposal. The spaghetti was removed so the sink could be used but no disposal. Being fairly cheap and somewhat of a procrastinator I didn’t really do anything with the disposal for about a year.
#HOW TO REPLACE GARBAGE DISPOSAL WITH REGULAR PIPES HOW TO#
Anyways, I didn’t know how to replace the disposal and figured it might be difficult and take the professional skills of a plumber. Though I’m not sure who because neither one of the suspects would fess up.

About a year ago my garbage disposal quit working because one of my old roommates stuffed an absurdly large amount of spaghetti down the sink instead of throwing it away. I’ve improved a little bit since I bought an older home and have been forced to try to fix a few things instead of hiring a repairman. I’m far from the handiest guy in the world. Anybody with a screwdriver and some type of wrench can do it. Replacing a garbage disposal is one of the simplest things in the world to do. I’m writing this in the vague that some day, someone out there will save themselves money and/or hassle if their garbage disposal breaks down and they think that it would be too hard or complicated for them to replace the disposal themselves.
