"We had a young man named James do multiple jobs for us. He tilled the yard, moved rock and trimmed up and down some tree bushes , removed from the property, and cleaned up. We also had him come back and do a couple of dump runs. We are very happy with his work and ethics. Will definitely have him back for our next project!"

"Miller and his colleagues were able to do a lot of things quickly. Along with everything else, they also grabbed some old furniture that I needed help moving to the curb. They took several cares to make sure nothing was damaged during the move, including wrapping the furniture, turning off all the lights, and packaging the picture frames."

"I had about 5 acres to get cleared out from over growth, I called Freedom Forest Management and a gentleman named Levi was out at my property two day later to give me a quote, the quote they gave me was a little pricey compared to others but they were able to get to it in a couple of days compared to others that were 3-4 weeks out. They did a bang up job cleaned the area up really good even trimmed up a tree I had since he said needed it to help with growth. I definitely got the quality of work I paid for and then some."

We are a brothers-in-arms junk removal team based right here in Sacramento, CA. After years of seeing how stressful and expensive junk removal can be for homeowners, we decided to start our own company with one simple goal: make the process fast, honest, and affordable.\nI bring the experience, reliability, and attention to detail, while my young “Junk Bro” partner brings endless energy, strength, and a can-do attitude that gets the job done quickly. Together, we’ve built a small, tight-knit operation that focuses on what matters most — treating every customer like family and every job like it’s our own.\nWhether it’s a full garage cleanout, hauling away old furniture, clearing yard waste, or just needing some extra labor help, we show up fast and work hard. Same-day service is our specialty, and we proudly stand behind our Price Match Guarantee — if you have a lower written quote, we’ll beat it.

"They were hardworking, and no damage was on my things. they cleaned up well, and they were very nice. They sweep my old apartment well and very professional. I have recommended them to my friends. They speak English and Spanish very well, I enjoyed talking to them about the work. Very affordable pricing. I really appreciate their honesty specially when they dumped the trash in to the dumpster."

Garbage Collection questions, answered by experts

Soil is just one of the items you shouldn't put down a garbage disposal. Garbage disposals are only meant for soft, non-fibrous foods. Large amounts of topsoil, dirt, or rocks will damage the blades of your garbage disposal or clog the pipes. If a small amount of dirt goes down the drain as you repot a plant, you shouldn't have to worry, but never dump a whole pot of soil in the sink for fast disposal.

Garbage disposals are durable appliances that usually last at least eight years as long as you clean and maintain them. It’s relatively rare for a garbage disposal to break on its own, as most malfunctions happen due to user errors, like overstuffing the grinding compartment or damaging the blades by trying to dispose of metal or bone. Eventually, cracks or leaks could develop in the unit, which requires a full replacement. 

The main issue with garbage disposals is clogging. This can mean a clogging of the pipes that expel the food along with water, or a clogging of the mechanical parts themselves. The problem lies in the solution because you can’t easily see clogs if they’re inside the system, and reaching in to dislodge stuck items is a risky proposal. Call a pro and ask what they would do, but if you can’t see the clog easily, and running the unit won’t free it, you need to let a professional handle the fix. 

No, you do not need a garbage disposal to have a dishwasher. A dishwasher will work without one, and while it's rare to see a home with a dishwasher that doesn't have a disposal, it is possible. The two appliances pair well and are often installed together because a disposal simplifies meal cleanup.

However, your dishwasher should not be used as a replacement for a garbage disposal. Subjecting it to continuous food leftovers can lead to major clogs. If you choose not to install a garbage disposal, you should thoroughly rinse your plates or scrape excess food into the trash or a compost pile before loading them into the dishwasher to prevent plumbing issues.

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.
