On average, your garbage disposal should last you a good number of years before the blades will wear down or the motor will burn out. Depending on when you installed it (modern garbage disposals are much more long-lasting than older ones), you can expect your garbage disposal to last anywhere from 8 – 15 years. If you live in a 1-2 person household, a 1/3 or ½ HP model would suffice. If you live in a 3-6 person household, your garbage disposer should have a ½ to ¾ HP engine. For a 5-8 person household, the minimum HP your disposer should have is ¾, but a 1 HP motor is preferable. waste king l-8000
