I forgot to check to see if my current one was hardwired.

M/W should be into an outlet. G/D is hardwired. MURCA!

The outlets in the garage are also supposed to be, as I recall, 36 inches above finished floor (AFF) just like the electrical panel. It is to help prevent a fire in case of a flood (like that is your big problem at that point).
Gotta love codes.

Well.. since we're all being very anal in this thread, not really.. 
Lighting fixtures are usually either hardwired or plug in, since hardwired fixtures are meant to terminate in some box. If the fixture is a plug in you can't really just cut the plug off and run the cable to a receptacle and make it hardwired, at least not easily in compliance with code. Only Romex and in wall cable is approved for behind walls, and lamp cord/regular extension cords run behind walls are against code.
In the case of this disposal, I think you can remove the bottom metal plate (which acts as the box), undo the wire nuts to remove the plug, and wire nut the romex (or bx) connections onto the disposal and replace the metal plate..

Just cut the cord for the lamp, separate the wires and shove them into the outlet. Works for me.
