What Does it Cost to Install a Garbage Disposal?

A garbage disposal itself can run anywhere from $100-450. On top of the cost of the part is the cost that a professional plumber will charge for the labor to install a garbage disposal unit. This labor fee is usually $100-200, and some plumbers charge a non-refundable trip fee on top of that as well. So, the total cost of having a garbage disposal installed is typically $200-650 for the parts and labor. This range represents a wide variety of garbage disposal models that span different motor sizes and brands. As you might imagine, more powerful garbage disposals and models from more respected brands will carry a higher price tag. Your local plumber can make a recommendation on which unit would be best for your needs and your existing sink.

While plumbers can usually get better prices on kitchen and bathroom fixtures than homeowners, if you already have a replacement garbage disposal unit that needs to be installed, a plumber can likely use what you have as long as all the components are there. Just be sure to ask when making the appointment to ensure that is a service your local plumber offers.
