"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."

"Excellent work. He and his helper arrived when he said he would and completed the difficult job promptly and professionally. He went beyond my expectations, clearing about 20 feet on either side of the very long driveway and beyond. The cost was reasonable, and they were very pleasant to work with. Will hire again!"

"Concrete Unlimited installed a septic tank and septic bed, trenched and installed a long water line, removed and hauled stumps, made log decks, cleared slash, graded and prepped our cabin site, artfully placed rocks and boulders that were uncovered in the process. Our remote lot had many constraints and he navigated through them beautifully -- and on time. My husband has seen heavy landmoving equipment operated by many people during his career and interacted with many companies on projects. Following the Carr and Dixie fires, where we lost our home and our family cabin, we again saw how various contractors approached and completed projects throughout our neighborhoods. Jesse Gorbet, Concrete Unlimited, and his crew are among the very best we've seen. Deft, nuanced, insightful, graceful, and considerate are not adjectives that normally come to mind with these types of projects but they do here. He was refreshingly excellent in communication, keeping us up to date, suggesting ways to save money and also setting up the project to make it easier for building in the future. Jesse was an absolute pleasure to work with, an unexpected gift. To have one contractor work with us to handle all these tasks themselves, and so professionally, was stress free. We highly recommend him."

Garbage Collection questions, answered by experts

Garbage disposals can be considered bad for the environment due to their electricity usage, but good for the environment because they reduce the food waste sent to landfills. If everyone used a garbage disposal, it would tax the wastewater treatment facilities in that region, but if we had to choose one of the options, we’d say they are a net positive on the environment when used correctly. 

If the cost of repairing a leaking garbage disposal is close to the cost of replacing the disposal, then fixing the unit might not make sense. When deciding if you should repair or replace your garbage disposal, consider the age of your garbage disposal, the cost of the repair, and whether your garbage disposal has had other problems recently to help you decide if the cost of repairing the leak is better than the cost of replacing the disposal.

Your garbage disposal will only affect the health of your septic tank if you’re using it too frequently, or filling it with organic waste that doesn’t fully break down. If the tank fills up with too many solids, the bacteria won’t have enough time to consume it before more is added, which can lead to an overflow in the drain field. Your tank will need to be pumped more frequently with excessive or improper garbage disposal use.

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 most common garbage disposal size in the U.S. is 1/2 horsepower. This size is ideal for households with three or fewer people or those that don't produce much food waste. Although 1/2 horsepower can't handle the typical food waste load for a household of four (which is about 250 pounds of food waste annually) as effectively as 3/4 horsepower, it remains the most common size of garbage disposal on the market.
