"Miller and his colleagues were able to do a lot of things quickly. Along with everything else, they also grabbed some old furniture that I needed help moving to the curb. They took several cares to make sure nothing was damaged during the move, including wrapping the furniture, turning off all the lights, and packaging the picture frames."

"I called Austin and his crew for a move from Indianapolis to Colorado. They showed up on time, were incredibly polite and professional, and they went above and beyond to help me. When I had to move, it came short notice as my house in Indiana was sold and I was given a 30 day notice to leave. I decided to come to Colorado and found One Man and His Dolly through their website. I contacted Austin Jones who was incredibly knowledgeable, kind and timely. He helped me pack my things in a mad rush and even helped me unpack when we got to Colorado. Money WELL spent! I would hire Austin and his team again to help with future moves, trash hauls, literally anything thatâ s on their business card. One Man & His Dolly is the perfect team to come help me get acclimated to my new life in the mountains and I couldnâ t be more thankful. They made my move easy, stress free and painless! They really took the time to hand wrap all of my valuables and not a single scratch was on any of my items. You can tell theyâ re in it for the long haul and to genuinely help people! I canâ t thank them enough and canâ t recommend them fast enough to people."

Garbage Collection questions, answered by experts

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. 

Soil is just one of the items you shouldn't put down a garbage disposal. 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.

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.

To prevent drain clogs, perform regular maintenance and cleaning. Avoid disposing of substances like grease or coffee grounds down the sink. Additionally, installing and routinely using drain strainers can help catch debris and prevent blockages from forming.

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.
