You need to check to see if it is wired with a relay or if the switch controls the power to the disposal. If the switch controls a relay then the relay contacts could be welded together which keeps it running. If there is no relay then simply replace the switch. You should check it all with a meter, first, however. Never do any electrical work without using a meter to see what is happening in the circuit; to do so is foolhardy. Check the switch to see if the contacts are stuck (after turning off power and checking with the meter set to "volts.") and if so, you know you need a new switch; if not, you need a relay wherever it is.

Why... when I replaced a regular outlet with a gfci and the switch won't shut off the garbage disposal? The outlet is at the end of the circuit with a red, black and a white wire. I can get power to it but won't shut off. It worked with the regular outlet.
It's jammed and leaking water but not sure from what spot. I THINK there may be a penny stuck in there somewhere, but I cannot see one. I have NO CLUE where to start. Any help would be appreciated!
It is one day before a party I'm throwing and my garbage disposal won't turn on. There is a humming sound. The reset button has been reset and the allen wrench does move the flywheel freely indicating the flywheel isn't stuck. Help!
Does anybody know how to fix a garbage disposal? It's making a very low wurring sound even after I tried resetting it. Please advise. Thanks.
I'm replacing the switch for my garbage disposal. It has a red wire on the left and a black wire on the right. I'm replacing it with a switch interrupter that has both screws on one side and a ground on the other. Which wire goes on the top screw and what do I do about a ground? Thanks!
