"I needed an under-counter dishwasher removed and junked. The workers had to deal with disconnecting water & electric, a kitchen floor higher than the bottom of the dishwasher, and removal of numerous wires, screws, and pieces in order to remove it. They did an excellent job, and I would not hesitate to have them do work for me again."

"If you're looking for a junk removal service that is efficient, reliable, and affordable in 90004, look no further than JunkLuggers! I recently had the pleasure of using their services and I was thoroughly impressed with the entire experience. Their team was incredibly professional and courteous. They arrived on time and were equipped with all the necessary tools and equipment to get the job done quickly and efficiently. They were also very respectful of my property, taking care not to damage anything while removing my junk. What sets them apart from other companies was their commitment to sustainability. They made sure to recycle and donate as much of my junk as possible, rather than simply disposing of it in a landfill. As someone who cares about the environment, this was a huge plus for me. I highly recommend JunkLuggers. Their team is professional, efficient, and committed to sustainability, making them the perfect choice for anyone looking for a top-notch junk removal service."

"If you need items removed, we recommend Handy Haulerz LLC. They're a local company that did an amazing job clearing out our home. Henry and his crew were extremely professional, and we really appreciated them sorting things for donation. Their prices were great, and they made what could've been a tough cleanout so much easier. You should definitely check them out!"

Small jobs welcome

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.

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 Removal questions, answered by experts

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.

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.

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.

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. 

Whether it's worth repairing your garbage disposal depends on its age and the specific problem. Generally, if the unit is eight years old or younger, repair is a good option. For minor issues like a bad seal or a simple jam, a repair can be inexpensive, sometimes under $10. However, if the motor is broken (a repair that can cost $150 or more) or the unit is getting old, it's often more cost-effective to replace the entire disposal.
