Because one of the pipes underneath is plugged. Release the whole pipe section from both sinks and clean it out.

How do you deodorize a garbage disposal?
To deodorize a garbage disposal you can either put some baking soda in the drain and let it sit for a while or my favorite is to run lemon peels through the disposal after you do the dishes every night. You can use orange peels, too. Just make sure the pieces are small enough to run through without clogging it.
