Michael,
I'm guessing it does ... is your food waste grinder cord and plug connected?
If 'Yes.', that is your disconnect.
If 'No.', then I am wrong (again).
However, that said, what is being discussed is not 'the disconnect' but 'a switch'.
Say your batch food waste grinder clogs up ... turning the switch off would allow you to 'un-stick' it with having to unplug it or turn the breaker off.
