Picked up a used Kitchen Disposal with the rubber seal, for 5 bucks at Habitat for Humanity resource.
This is about as easy to build as it can get.
The slinky ends fit nice and tight in the disposal with the rubber seal, so there is nothing to do there
Will be adding a cord, switch, and about a 18 inch of slinky hose.
Curious if it will pump if I tilt it 90 degrees and hook it in direct to the connection.

It works!!!

My plan is[size=78%] to be able to empty it into my home sewer line drain, but I need to be able to "lift it"  a couple of feet, [/size]

Somehow a food disposer for sewer just sounds wrong on so many fronts. :)rotflmao :)rotflmao :)rotflmao

Pump?, What Pump?. A garbage Disposal Goes Downhill.   Unless You Put A Sump Basin, with a trash pump in it.  Like They install in Basements here in The South. (sewer line usually higher point). Old Plumber's saying, s@#t Only Goes Downhill.

Apparently they pump up at least 4 feet, and I only need a 2 foot lift, and about 15 feet to the 2" drain pipe.
anyway, I have a macerator that can send shred solids, and pump them into a 2"drain, at my home, with no risk of clogging the pipe,
Total cost so far 5.00 for the used disposal, from Habitat for Humanity Resource store.
Now i only need about 10 bucks in pipe to Y or T into the washer machine drain pipe, which is straight run to the 4inch main line
