disposer

One who discards

A disposer is a person or device that disposes of something.

The most common use refers to a garbage disposer—the electric grinding unit in a kitchen sink that shreds food waste: The disposer jammed on a chicken bone.

More broadly, a disposer is anyone who has the power to arrange or settle matters: the disposer of funds, the disposer of fates.
