waste disposal unit
Kitchen drain pulverizer
A waste disposal unit is an electrically powered device installed beneath a kitchen sink that grinds food scraps into particles small enough to flush through plumbing.
Called a garbage disposal in American English: The waste disposal unit jammed when someone put a chicken bone down it.
Common in North American homes, less so elsewhere.
