I am thinking of removing the air
gap and draining the dishwasher straight into the garbage disposal. Is
this a good or bad idea.


In two different houses, four different machines over the past 35+ years and
it was always direct into the disposal. Has never been a problem.

Yeah, but folks violate electrical, plumbing and other codes
every day without a problem. Until there's a problem...

If the OP lives in CA (and some other places) there almost
certainly will be a problem when he comes to sell the
property. Almost any home inspector will catch that one
with a cursory glance at the sink.

Having said all that... I'd probably take the risk if it
wasn't a local code requirement here.
