I am investigating removing a wired kitchen disposal and not replacing. Has anyone done this. I imagine it needs a complete new sink as well, so plumber and electrician? What happens to the isolator switch for the waste disposal?

Yes to both Plumber/Electrician and new sink cheaper to just replace the waste disposal if it's not working.

As Bob said, it's a simple job to replace the sink waste with a new one, connect the trap to the same waste pipe - done. The power disconnected at the power outlet (socket).
We had numerous problems with broken disposal units by cutlery and other metal stuff - since tenants and LL have been happy.

The socket will be switched from the switch above the sink.
Just unplug and leave the switch, it will do no harm.
If you wanted to use the socket for anything else you just need to remember that it is switched from above the sink.
