Can you install a garbage disposal in a corner undermount sink

My daughter has refinished her kitchen cabinets in a small kitchen in her two bedroom condo in New Jersey. She is replacing the countertops with a quartz product. The current sink is in the corner facing an interior wall and she wants to replace it with an undermount sink in that same corner. She does not think there will be enough room to install a garbage disposal (she currently has one with the old sink). Can you install a garbage disposal in this situation?

Any help would be appreciated.

Are we concerned about the distance between the bottom of the sink and the bottom of the cabinet?

I have installed a lot of disposals on under-mount sinks and I have found the the Badger company has a 1/3 hp unit that is quite short. It may seem a bit small but we need to remember that disposals are not made to chop wood.......1/3 is plenty strong for a person who uses their head when shoving food sown it. Their 1/2 hp unit might also work.

They are available at Lowes and Home Depot for around $60.

Hope this helps

Is there a way to bypass the disposal to be able to use the sink w/o the water dripping from the bottom of the Badger 5 disposal?

If disposal is leaking, it has to be removed before it damages cabinet and causes mildew.
Then install a different strainer basket if you want to connect tubular drain.

You can also buy same brand and size disposal and install without changing sink basket.

We are installing a new undermount sink. Is it best to use standard strainers or basket strainers?

If you have a garbage disposal, use standard strainers, but depending what may go down if not, such as hair, fiberous material that will get stuck in grease, then use the basket strainers.

Will under mounted sink take the weight of garburator?

The sink should be physically mounted with clips if it is not cast iron, otherwise a cradle made of wood is usually the route I go.

Will under mounted sink take the weight of garburator?

No the weight of the disposal will not separate the sink from the granite. When they set the sink they put wood on the edge under the sink to hold the weight of the sink. You will not have a problem.

Rust around the drain in the larger of the two sinks

You will need to reset the basket strainer using plumbers putty. Is there a garbage disposal installed? You will need to remove it to get to the basket strainer.
