In an example embodiment, a cover switch mechanism includes a cord, a body configured to be coupled to a top portion of a disposer, and connecting components. The connecting components include a terminal cover configured to be coupled to a bottom portion of the disposer, a switch interface connector, and a connection component. The cord extends between the body and cover, where an end of the cord extending into the cover includes first and second leads. The first lead is coupled to the interface connector, and the cover is configured to receive a second end of a power link. The interface connector is configured to be coupled to a third lead of the link, and the connection component is configured to couple the second lead with a fourth lead of the link.
