Blaine, They mount to the underneath of the sink with a special collar that protrudes down through the drain. The drain plumbing then connects to the garbage disposal. You do need an electrical supply near the disposal to tap into for power.

I've seen some where they're in the sink but how do they work? Do you have to put them in the sink?

Matter a fact, you'll be lucky to find a company that will guarantee one more than 10 years. I just bought one here this past December at Lows, it cost me just over a hundred dollars, half horse, and only 5 year warranty. There was a brand at Orchard Supply that I bought at our last home that I bought, it was called the Bone Crusher. 3 quarter horse, 10 year warranty, and at the time it was around $80. That was back in 2000. Good luck. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Betsy Whitney, Dolphin Press" <braill...@hawaii.rr.com> To: <blindhandyman@yahoogroups.com> Sent: Tuesday, March 23, 2010 5:01 PM Subject: Re: [BlindHandyMan] Garbage disposal Unfortunately yes.
