        "text": "The typical lifespan of a garbage disposal is generally between 8 and 15 years, depending on the model, usage frequency, and maintenance. Higher-quality units and those properly maintained tend to last longer. A first-party insight we've observed at CG Plumbing Solutions is that consistent grinding of non-food items or neglecting to run cold water during operation can significantly shorten a disposal's effective life.",
