Garbage Disposal Repair in Star, ID
In Star the disposal under the sink is almost always the household's own machine, on a drain line nobody else uses. 91% of the housing here is detached houses, and that is what decides who arranges the repair and who pays.
The quick answer

What Star is built of
Detached stock here means one kitchen per drain. That narrows a repeat clog to what is being put down the sink and to the pipe under it.
| Housing type | Share of housing units |
|---|---|
| Detached houses | 91% |
| Attached houses | 1% |
| Multi-unit buildings | 5% |
| Manufactured and mobile homes | 3% |
Drawn from table B25024 of the American Community Survey, 5-year estimates, 2023 release: 5,608 housing units across the ZIP code areas covering Star.
That is 16 points higher than Idaho as a whole, so the state pattern would mislead you about this town.
The Census counts this one across all housing units, vacant ones included, so read it as the shape of the local building stock.
Whose disposal is it
The ownership question comes first. A disposal in a rented apartment is normally the building's to repair, and the tenancy usually says so.
The symptom does most of the diagnosis here. A motor that hums without turning is the most common call and often the easiest thing to clear.
And before any of that, the thing that prevents most of these calls: what should not go down it. Grease and fibrous waste cause more disposal failures than wear does.
