I do not have a dishwasher. There was no existing garbage disposal and there is no plug under the sink. I'm trying to hard wire a garbage disposal there. I want to create a light switch off an existing plug and wire the garbage disposal to the light switch.
How do I go about doing that?

If this receptacle you are referring to is serving the kitchen counter you CANNOT use that to feed a disposal. Kitchen counter circuits cannot be used to feed fixed appliances.
You will need to run a new feed to the disposal, preferably a dedicated circuit from the panel.
