How can I remove my old garbage disposal?

Answer by  Hank81527 (76)

First, remove the plumbing that attaches the disposal to the sewer line. Find circuit breaker and turn it off. Disconnect the wiring that my be in a electrical box under the sink near the disposal. With a screw driver loosen the flange that is near the top of the disposal. This will allow removal of the unit.

If you are talking about the recycling bin functions, then you can just press empty. I'm not sure what you exactly mean by old garbage disposal. Please clarify so that I can get some insight about how to answer your question. But in terms of computer functions, press empty on recycling bin.

If you are installing a new one, open it first: Directions include specifics for removing the old one. Otherwise, turn electricity off at the breaker. Remove hose connections, including to dishwasher. Loosen all screws. Look for a spring loaded ring clip flush to the rim and remove it and you are home free. CAUTION: Do NOT position yourself beneath it!

Turn off and disconnect the power and water. DO NOT lay under the disposal! If it breaks it's in your face and it's HEAVY. Unfasten the fasteners; look for a snap ring holding it in place. NOTE: The new disposal includes directions for removing the old one!

Read ALL-directions BEFORE-starting: Place bucket underneath garage-disposal/drain. Turn OFF garbage-disposal's-electrical-power; Verify OFF with non-contact-voltage-detector or multi-meter/volt-meter. Disconnect garbage-disposal's-electrical-power. Loosen & remove drain-pipe(s) with pipe-wrench(es); you might require some-specialty-tools/wrenches to loosen pipe-fittings to garbage-disposal/sink. After garbage-disposal & drain-pipes are removed, measure (& cut) new-drain-piping required for either: no-disposal or new-garbage-disposal.

First, lift the disposer up and into the sink until the snap ring snaps. Then tighten the two screws up until they are in contact with the pressure washer.

There is generally a bracket that secures the disposal to the drain insert in the sink. You may need to unscrew a few screws, and rotate the disposal to release it. If you stick with the same brand, you can attach the new one to the existing drain insert.

Firstly get under the sink and then remove the four bolts that attach the disposal unit to the underside of the worktop.

First you will need to turn off the electricity. There should be two wires under your sink, unhook those. Next take out the drain by unhooking the nut.

You can remove your old garbage by making a compost pit and burning the waste in an incinerator and recycling the non bio-degradable substances like the polythene and metal substance.You can also put your garbage in the community dustbin which is cleaned regularly by the municipal corporation of the city.

I am guessing you are talking about the recycling bin on the computer. Well what you can do is remove your garbage from the bin by selecting the bin and selecting all items in the bin. Once all items have been selected then you can just press the delete button.
