Seems like someone on this list had rigged a paper pulping thing with a disposal
in the past. As I remember it had some kind of pump to recirculate the mixture
back through the disposal until it was fully pulped. You might try searching the
archives from a couple of years ago.
Knowing what I do about how a garbage disposal works, I'd be a little skeptical
about how well it'd work on paper. You'd probably have to shred and
presoak thoroughly to avoid stopping the thing up. As Spaceman says, they
require water running through them during operation, so there'd have to be some
provision for that.
