Q: Why should I pick a continuous-feed garbage disposal?

• <div><p>Continuous feed garbage disposals are the favorite model for many homeowners for a reason. As opposed to batch feed models, add food scraps to the drain whenever the disposal is running. This variety is also typically less expensive, more convenient, and easier to clean.</p></div>

Q: What tool is used to reset a garbage disposal?

• <div><p>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&rsquo;ll need. Most garbage disposals come with a hex wrench.</p></div>

Q: What should not be put in a garbage disposal?

• <div><p>These appliances certainly increase the number of things allowed down the drain, but they&rsquo;re not foolproof. There are several <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/what-not-put-down-garbage-disposal.htm">items you shouldn&rsquo;t put in your garbage disposal</a>, according to manufacturers and technicians. Don&rsquo;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.</p></div>

Q: How much does it cost to replace a garbage disposal?

• <div><p><a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/what-s-it-cost-replace-garbage-disposal.htm">Replacing a garbage disposal costs</a> anywhere from <b>$150 to $950</b>, but the average cost is somewhere around<b> $550</b>. There are two types of garbage disposal units, and continuous feed disposals tend to cost more than batch feed disposals. Going for an aluminum garbage disposal is also significantly cheaper than choosing a stainless steel garbage disposal. You'll also need to factor in the horsepower of the motor, labor, and the removal and disposal of your old unit.</p></div>

Q: Is soil bad for garbage disposal?

• <div><p>Soil is just one of the items you <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/what-not-put-down-garbage-disposal.htm">shouldn't put down a garbage disposal</a>. 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.</p></div>

"Perfect and painless. Guys were delayed due to unavoidable traffic, but they called and kept me updated on ETA. Once there, it was at most 10 minutes for them to haul the whole bed and frame from 3rd floor to truck. Super professional, friendly, and very efficient workers! I also like that they try to recycle as much material as possible. Price was on par or lower than I was quoted by others in the area."
