Need fast, efficient junk pick up service? At 1-800-GOT-JUNK? we can take just about anything, as long as it's non-hazardous. This includes a variety of household and workplace junk, such as mattresses, furniture, electronics, appliances, televisions, exercise equipment, and more.

"Had an appointment on Monday for them to show between 12-2 and I waited until 3:15 before I had to call them and reschedule until next day because they did not show up within the window they gave me. Next morning I had a window from 8-10 and it was 10:30 when they finally showed up. Then the price quoted to remove an old refrigerator was crazy high but I paid it because I had to get it out. The need to be more punctual and offer better and upfront pricing. I probably wont use them again."

FAMILY OWNED AND OPERATED MOVING AND STORAGE COMPANY. Our main goal is to make sure that every single customer is completely satisfied with our services - regardless how big or small your move is! Massachusetts Movers License - MDTE #: 31310 Interstate License - USDOT #2015288

"The 3 gentlemen who did my move were fantastic--very professional, took great care with everything, and were very pleasant to deal with. Moving is always stressful, and due to a bad back and having to also move 2 cats, I wasn't able to pack everything myself. They were reassuring and finished up the packing, being so extremely careful with wrapping and boxing that, as far as I can tell (not having unpacked everything yet), nothing has been damaged. They even completed the move under the estimate! I'd had to change the date and type of move on short notice and am most grateful to the crew, Marcin and Landra for their patience and expert assistance. I would use them again and highly recommend M & M Moving and Storage."

Greene Moving & Storage company provides service to Connecticut, Maine and New York City. Customized estimates are provided for both local and long distance moves by having a professional move consultant come to your home to conduct a move inventory and create a no-obligation price quote.

"Mice! The contents of our entire home were held by Greene moving and storage. When returned to us 15 months later the result was nothing short of disgusting. Mouse droppings were found everywhere. Mouse “nests” were found in multiple locations. Acorns and other scraps found in boxes, under seat cushions, in corners of our sofas. Mouse pee staining our children’s books. Mouse droppings in our daughters’ birthday hats. The list goes on. Beyond that multiple items had water damage as if they were sitting in water for a year. Coffee tables and dining tables destroyed. The smell of mound and mildew on everything. It’s gross. I’m addition to that damage, almost every piece of furniture was damaged with dings, scrapes, or chunks missing. We requested that Patrick Greene pay for the damages but he offered a fraction of the cost of the damages. Stay away from Greene moving and storage if you care about your belongings."

Garbage Collection questions, answered by experts

If your garbage disposal powers up and you can hear it hum, but the arms inside aren’t moving, the problem might be a stubborn clog, a build-up of grease, or a jam of the impeller plate. To troubleshoot these, ensure your unit is off and disconnected from its power source before checking inside the drain or attempting to manually rotate the impeller arms or plate from the underside of the unit. A hex wrench can help.

Garbage disposals last an average of seven years but can function well past 10 years. However, as time goes on and more food is ground, the grinding plates will slowly lose their edge and need replacing. A motor likely won’t last 10 or more years, but you should be able to get a minimum of five years at least, even under heavy usage. 

The main issue with garbage disposals is clogging. This can mean a clogging of the pipes that expel the food along with water, or a clogging of the mechanical parts themselves. The problem lies in the solution because you can’t easily see clogs if they’re inside the system, and reaching in to dislodge stuck items is a risky proposal. Call a pro and ask what they would do, but if you can’t see the clog easily, and running the unit won’t free it, you need to let a professional handle the fix. 

If you cook a lot or have a larger household, a garbage disposal can be worth it, since it streamlines your kitchen duties and helps to keep food waste out of landfills. It helps to know the cost of garbage disposal installation before you make your decision. The average price is about $400, but you can expect to pay more for higher-end models or if you hire a pro to do the job for you.

It’s one thing that helps, alongside vinegar and baking soda. Ice acts as an exfoliant, helping to lift off any bits of food stuck on the disposal blades.
