Garbage disposals are an integral part of a modern kitchen, offering convenience and contributing to a cleaner environment. Despite their widespread use, an Emerson survey indicated that more than half of American homeowners are unaware of how these devices can help reduce landfill waste. Putman & Sons Plumbing is dedicated to helping you understand the benefits of a garbage disposal, providing professional installation and repair services to keep your kitchen spotless and eco-friendly.
