How to Remove a Badger InSinkErator

Kitchen sink-style garbage disposals, such as the Badger InSinkErator, are handy for grinding up and disposing of small food particles, making cleanup much easier. The Badger mounts directly under your kitchen sink drain. It is powered electrically and has an outflow pipe that lets water and trash drain out after the disposal has fully ground up the food particles. Whether you are replacing your Badger InSinkErator or sending it to be repaired, it will first have to be removed from underneath your sink.
