First Garbage Disposal, invented by John W. Hammes
In-Sink-Erator founder John W. Hammes, a Racine, Wisconsin architect, was first to solve one major inconvenience: disposing of food scraps. In 1927, he built the first waste disposer in his basement workshop. After eleven years of testing and development, InSinkErator Manufacturing Co. was established, making and selling 52 disposers in 1938. A slow start, to be sure -- but an auspicious one.
