"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

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. 

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.

You may be able to install a garbage disposal on your own, especially if you're handy or have some experience with plumbing. However, if you have any concerns or want to make absolutely sure that the connections are installed correctly, you may be better off hiring a local garbage disposal installer to do the job. 

Garbage disposals are durable appliances that usually last at least eight years as long as you clean and maintain them. It’s relatively rare for a garbage disposal to break on its own, as most malfunctions happen due to user errors, like overstuffing the grinding compartment or damaging the blades by trying to dispose of metal or bone. Eventually, cracks or leaks could develop in the unit, which requires a full replacement. 

While unplugging your garbage disposal and plugging it back in may help, most units have an actual reset button, a bright red switch found on the underside of your unit. If your garbage disposal needs resetting, you may notice this button sticking out about a quarter of an inch from the surface of the unit, with which it’s usually flush. Simply depress this reset button to reset the unit, and then test to ensure it’s working about 10 minutes later.
