"We recently hired French Estates Junk Removal Services and was totally blown away by the professional services we received. Not only did they remove our outdoor furniture, punching bag and other miscellaneous items but they even dissembled and removed our king bed and queen size bunk bed in less than a hour. We are 100% satisfied with the service we received and would use them again."

"Armando was on-time and very professional. He did a great job removing the rock and cement from my front yard. Not only was he extremely efficient, but he’s a very nice guy. I’ll hire him again if needed. Thank you, Armando!"

I own and operate a dumpster rental service that currently provides 17 Yard Dumpsters, and will soon provide 40 Yard Dumpsters and 10 Yard Dumpsters (lowboys) by the end of 2025. I also offer junk removal for property clean outs if you'd like us to handle the labor. Tree removal is another included service we offer.\n\nThis business was created in order to help a non-profit organization (Water Drop LA). A portion of all proceeds go towards helping the organization continue its operation.

"Servants Hands principal, Shane Darden, has helped us on many occasions. Hard working, smart and efficient. We had an emergency situation where Shane had to work a 15 hour day. He never slows down, his work in 15 th hour was remarkable, every other contractor was sitting down, but Shane was still working hard. I highly recommend Servant’s Hands."

"Heath and his crew are excellent. Not only have they hauled away junk for us in a very professional manner, they have also done a lot of construction work for us, including drywall repair repairs, redoing our dry wall and lights in the kitchen, and installing an entirely new shower in one of our bathroom. They are very courteous, professional, and clean. I would highly recommend them."

Garbage Removal questions, answered by experts

Most garbage disposals have a reset button that can be triggered with a tool as simple and accessible as your index finger. That said, if you need to perform a more in-depth troubleshooting step, like manually moving the arms inside the unit or rotating the impeller plate, a hex wrench is the most common tool you’ll need. Most garbage disposals come with a hex wrench.

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.

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.

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. 

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.
