A garbage disposal or garburator (Canadian English) or waste disposal unit (English) is an electrically-powered device installed under a kitchen sink between the sink's drain and the trap. It shreds food waste into very small pieces so that they can be passed through the plumbing without clogging. Also called a food waste disposal, they are sold in North America under brand names like "Waste King" and "In-Sink-Erator", the largest manufacturer of garbage disposals in North America.
