Disconnect Plumbing and Drain Pipe

What happens here

Move under the sink to access the garbage disposal unit. Locate the drain pipe (often a P-trap or direct pipe) connected to the side outlet of the disposal. Use a screwdriver to loosen the bolts that secure this pipe to the disposal unit. Once loosened, gently slide the drain pipe off the disposal outlet. Have a bucket ready to catch any residual water or debris that may spill from the pipe or disposal.

Goal: Before removing the disposal, disconnect the drain pipe connected to its side outlet. This typically involves loosening bolts with a screwdriver to release the pipe.
