"We recently did some spring cleaning throughout our entire house and used J&B solutions to haul away all our old junk. They responded very quickly when I inquired about a quote for their services and the quote I received was very reasonable for the amount of stuff I needed hauled away. These guys were very professional and efficient from start to finish. They dropped off the trailer when they said they would and we’re even understanding when I needed a little bit more time to fill up the hauler. Overall it was a pleasure working with this company and we will definitely be using them again when we need another junk or demo removal!"

"Very well. This is the second time Mike has helped with plumbing issues the first time he replaced all the under sink plumbing-is very pleasant and helpful- went to Home Depot to purchase new disposal when it became clear the old one was dead. I highly recommend him-"

Customers say: True professional

"I called SD Junk Hauling to assist in an office moving project that would require some heavy lifting and the need to get it done quick. Steve helped us out in getting things cared for in a timely manner, he even came on a short notice moving his schedule around so we could meet our deadline. Would definitely use him and/or his team again.."

"I was impressed with Jessee. I had purchased a large shed that was delivered 5 months ago. I had removed it from the box and separated the pieces. I tried to assemble myself but with no success. Now it's summer and I just wanted the job done. I had likely tossed the assembly directions in the trashcan by mistake. Jesse used a YouTube video I found with the directions. Inly took him 2 hours for the perfect completion. I highly recommend Jesse. His prices are fair and service excellent"

Garbage Collection questions, answered by experts

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.

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.

Your garbage disposal is not draining because it might have a clog due to food waste, a foreign object, grease, oil, fat, or it may have a broken motor. When water doesn't flush out of the disposal, that's a key sign that your disposal has a clog or needs repair. 

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.

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.
