I've just had a double-bowl kitchen sink installed. The large bowl is on the left (21" x 19") and the small bowl is on the right (11" x 14"). Which side should the garbage disposal be installed? Thanks.

Hi Sam... It's really up to you and what you like... but most people opt to install it in the small sink. Take care... Mark

There's no set rule. It's "dealers choice" as to where the disposal is installed but since your sink has different sized tubs I would leave the larger tub as a work area to rinse dished or wash veggies and I would install the disposal in the smaller right hand tub. Good luck, Tom Sorry Mark, we posted at the same time

I'd put it on the smaller 'prep' sink -- where you are more likely to scrape dishes, peel vegetables, drain pasta, and dump out glasses (ice), etc.

If you're washing dishes, you'd have the soapy water in the big sink -- so you'd scrape the big chunks into the prep-sink and then wash/rinse in the large sink.

If both bowls were the same size, I'd put the disposal on the side closest to the dishwasher -- scrape/rinse into the disposal, then right into the dishwasher.
