How to Remove a Garbage Disposal Unit
- 1). Open up the cabinet below the sink where the garbage disposal is mounted. Unplug the disposal from the wall using your hands.
- 2). Locate the pipe running from the garbage disposal to the wall, which should have a U-shaped pipe called the p-trap. Place the bucket underneath the p-trap. Remove the p-trap using the pipe wrench and empty its contents into the bucket.
- 3). Support the bottom of the disposal with one hand, and with the other unscrew the garbage disposal from the sink at the flange using the screwdriver. Lower the garbage disposal from the sink using both hands.
