Short answer: Garbage disposal installation mounts the unit under the sink and connects it to the drain line and, if applicable, the dishwasher drain, then confirms it runs and drains properly.
Adding a disposal to a kitchen that doesn't already have one usually means confirming the sink has the right drain configuration and that there's an appropriate power connection nearby.
Upgrading an existing disposal to a larger or quieter unit is also common, especially in kitchens where the current unit is undersized for household needs.
