"I highly recommend French Estate Junk Removal Services! From start to finish, their professionalism truly stood out. The team arrived on time, communicated clearly, and handled everything with efficiency and care. They were extremely courteous and respectful throughout the entire process. What impressed me most was their willingness to work with my schedule and specific needs. They took the time to listen, offered flexible options, and made sure I was completely satisfied before leaving. On top of the excellent service, their pricing was better than any other competitor I contacted. No hidden fees, no surprises—just honest, fair pricing for outstanding work. If you’re looking for a reliable, professional, and affordable junk removal service, French Estate Junk Removal Services is the company to call. I’ll definitely be using them again!"

"Edgar and Mairen were great. They responded quickly to my request for a quote and were able to haul my old furniture away the same day. They were quick, efficient and careful not to damage the walls and door when carrying the furniture out. I would definitely use them again in the future."

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.

"Janow was hired to haul away furniture items and other items including a steel desk, Beds mattress, Metal file cabinets, outdoor furniture, etc as part of preparation for sale of home and moving out of California. They were reliable, honest, and reasonably priced. When needed they would disassemble furniture such as king and queen sized beds in order to get it out of the house. Laundry machine , dryer, etc. Both Heath and Rick are both outstanding people who have a strong desire to do a great job and have you as their customer happy. I hired them multiple times, for both Junk hauling and Handyman services. To sell my house I needed to get a rain gutter reattached which was 2 stories up, drywall repairs, etc. When my boss needed a large storage unit cleaned out I immediately recommended Janow and they came through in a big way. She has thanked me multiple times as she was very impressed with the work they have done. My highest recommendation! 10/10!!!"

Customers say: True professional

"We hired McCormick to remodel our master bathroom, and the process couldn’t have been smoother. Khaled guided us through everything, and his team was skilled and respectful. They handled the job efficiently, stayed within budget, and kept our home tidy. Now, our bathroom feels like a relaxing oasis, with high-quality finishes and a modern touch we love. McCormick’s attention to detail really made the difference, and I’d gladly hire them for future remodels. This experience was everything we hoped for."

Garbage Collection questions, answered by experts

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.

In some cases, it’s more cost-effective in the long run to replace a garbage disposal, but it depends on the specific issue you’re having and the age of your disposal. You should ask a garbage disposal repair tech for a quote to repair your appliance and then see if it would be more worthwhile to replace it. Additionally, garbage disposals last for around 15 years, so if you know your appliance is reaching that age, it’s likely better to pay for a new garbage disposal rather than sink money into repairs.

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.

There are many maintenance and repair issues that lead to a malfunctioning garbage disposal. Regular clogs place wear and tear on the motors, leading to an eventual shutdown. Electrical issues at the breaker, wall outlet, or disposal itself can fry the unit. The most common cause is simply a worn-down motor. These motors can only handle so much use before powering down for good. 

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.
