How Long Do Garbage Disposals Last?
Most modern garbage disposals have an average lifespan of 8-15 years. However, the exact lifespan of your disposal will depend on various factors, including the type of system, usage patterns, and maintenance frequency. If your system is nearing the end of this timeframe, it might be time for a replacement.
