Quick Tip: How to Raise Garbage Disposal

Raising the garbage disposal to the sink bottom is a tough task. Even small, half-horsepower disposals are heavy. In addition, they must be raised with one hand because the other hand needs to be free to make the connections.

Solve this problem by raising with a car jack topped with a folded towel. The jack will hold the disposal tight against the sink bottom, giving you both hands free to make those difficult connections.
