Can a garbage disposal be on the same circuit as four outlets and a ceiling fan?

Yes, if the circuit breaker and the wiring is large enough to carry the sum of the amp draw of all. Without knowing what will be plugged into the outlets, there is no way to be more specific. <<>> It is recommended to use a dedicated circuit for a garbage disposal. It is best not to add any additional loads to kitchen counter receptacles as these are also dedicated circuits.

What is the normal amperage size of outlets in a living room bedroom etc but excluding the laundry room and garage?

Outlet circuits in bedrooms and living rooms are generally 15 Amp. The kitchen requires 2 20 Amp small appliance circuits, which are GFCI. The refrigerator and microwave each need their own 15 amp circuit. If you have a gas stove, this can be included with one of your small appliance circuits. If you have an electric range, this will require a 120/240V 40 amp circuit. The dishwasher and garbage disposal are generally wired together on a 15 or 20 amp circuit. Bathrooms need a 20 amp GFCI circuit, which cannot supply another room. SAFETY ADVICEBefore you do any work yourself,on household electricity supplies, equipment or appliances,always turn off the powerat the breaker box/fuse panel BEFORE you attempt to do any work ANDalways use an electrician's test meter having metal-tipped probes(not a simple proximity voltage indicator)to ensure the circuit is, in fact, de-energized. IF YOU ARE NOT ALREADY SURE YOU CAN DO THIS JOBSAFELY AND COMPETENTLYREFER THIS WORK TO QUALIFIED PROFESSIONALS.

Can a dishwasher and disposal share a dedicated 20 amp circuit?

Original answer: Yes! I did this in my Kitchen USSEG: It really comes down to how much amp each of the appliances is going to use at peak. You need to look at the emperage draw of each appliance then make your decision. If you are sure you are not going to use both at the same time (ever) then it is fine. A disposal requires at least a 15 amp and a dishwasher usually needs at least a 15 amp. If breakers start tripping you will need to separate them. If this is for new contrstruction, there is no reason not to run a separate line for each.
