"They were incredible. They took away everything that I needed to get out of my garage and house. They kept me informed and updated. Best of all, they will donate specific items to a women’s shelter and others who may need them. It was a win-win. I will use them again."

"Late at night I decided to look for a junk hauler using Angi’s list and received several responses within minutes. Oraine from Antonio’s Hauling responded with questions, a reasonable quote and a date and time within twenty minutes. Oraine was on time, surprisingly by himself, but he was able to handle the removal of an 8 ft sofa and a loveseat quickly and efficiently. I highly recommend, and I will most assuredly use this service again."

"They arrived on time to remove my old broken hot tub from inside the house. The hot tub had to be cut into pieces to take out through doorways to go to the dump. They put up plastic to keep the dust out of the rest up the house. They left the room spotless. No mess. Done a short time. Great job!"

"Ricardo removed my concrete driveway in my backyard. He was easy to communicate with and adjusted to working in the back alley that was blocked causing extra work for him. Since the project was close to my neighbors he was respectful of the start time and completed the project in less than 3 hours. He was able to adapt to my specific needs so I would recommend being clear with him as he was incredibly easy to work with on changes that came up."

"Mauricio from Solid Ground Landscaping LLC is an incredible gardener, handyman, landscaper, etc. and there is pretty much nothing that he cannot do with amazing talent! He came very highly recommended and got to work the same day with a very hard working crew, punctual and ready to work and did above and beyond what I asked him to do. He knows how to do everything (handyman, electrician, plumbing, pavers, sprinklers, junk removal, cement and patio work, and so much more!) He is truly your Go To Guy! I truly value and respect our working relationship and his overall work ethic. He will not let you down! I can usually call him and he is often times available to work that same day! His prices are also very reasonable for the high quality of work he provides. No job. Is too small or too large for his company to take on! He is truly the best!"

Garbage Collection questions, answered by experts

On average, a garbage disposal can last anywhere from 7 to 12 years, with many models functioning well for about 10 years. With heavy usage, a motor may last a minimum of five years, while grinding plates will wear down over time. It's generally a good idea to consider a replacement if your unit is approaching the 10-year mark. Other signs that it's time for a new disposal include frequent leaks, persistent clogs, lingering odors, lack of power, or unusual noises. If your unit is not that old, it's worth investigating if a less expensive part, like a rubber seal or a loose hose, is causing the issue.

The two main negatives of garbage disposals are they are a safety hazard in homes with children, and they frequently encounter blockage issues. While they might be annoying to fix and monitor, garbage disposals can significantly lower your trash use and are a great way to dispose of organic waste. While there are negatives, the vast majority of homeowners acknowledge the positives are enough to install a disposal in their home. 

These appliances certainly increase the number of things allowed down the drain, but they’re not foolproof. There are several items you shouldn’t put in your garbage disposal, according to manufacturers and technicians. Don’t put coffee grounds down the drain. The same goes for eggshells, potato peels, hard foods, onion skins, and any dry, expandable food. Most importantly, never put grease or oils down the drain.

While the drain connection for a garbage disposal is nearly universal and fits standard sink drain holes of 3 1/2 to 4 inches, the size of the disposal unit itself is not. You must have enough space in the cabinet underneath your sink to accommodate the disposal's housing. A larger model may not fit in a compact cabinet or if the existing plumbing is arranged in an unusual way. Before buying a new garbage disposal, measure the available space under your sink. If you are replacing an old unit, it's often easiest to choose a new model of a similar size.

Once you have your garbage disposal disconnected, you can remove the mounting bracket by unscrewing the bolts that are holding the bracket. You can back them out just enough to pop off the snap ring, which prevents the bottom portion of the bracket from disconnecting from the top when you unscrew the bolts. Use a regular screwdriver to pop off the snap ring, and the rest of the components should fall off by themselves.
