Top 10 Reasons to Have a Garbage Disposal Installed
Born in Iowa in 1895, John Hammes is credited with inventing the garbage disposal. A simple mechanism, garbage disposals have a shredder ring that spins at almost 2,000 rotations per minute, grinding food scraps into pulp and washing the pulp down the drain.
