"I highly recommend this service to anybody looking to get rid of old appliances, furniture, or junk. I am a college student who needed to get rid of an old mini fridge before moving out of my apartment. With no way of dropping it off to a donation site or recycling center, I contacted several junk removal services. NJR provided the most prompt and cordial response, and because my mini fridge was much lower than what's a usual pick up, Jesse offered to pick it up for free! This was extremely considerate and I am very happy to know NJR will make sure this working appliance is donated to somebody who needs it. There was a short turnaround time from when I contacted Jesse to when my appliance was picked up. Even with a busy schedule, Jesse was able to pencil in this complimentary service, which I greatly appreciate! Please use this service for all your junk removal needs, as you can probably tell from my experience that NJR is dedicated to giving back to the community in a sustainable way! I cannot recommend it enough to students or anybody looking to recycle old items."

Garbage Collection questions, answered by experts

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. 

Replacing a garbage disposal costs anywhere from $150 to $950, but the average cost is somewhere around $550. There are two types of garbage disposal units, and continuous feed disposals tend to cost more than batch feed disposals. Going for an aluminum garbage disposal is also significantly cheaper than choosing a stainless steel garbage disposal. You'll also need to factor in the horsepower of the motor, labor, and the removal and disposal of your old unit.

These appliances do unscrew, but you need to disconnect everything properly when you replace your garbage disposal. Make sure you shut the power off to the area first and check that it’s off with a voltage detector. Disconnect the main drain line and P-trap, and then disconnect the dishwasher drain line if you have one connected. You can then unscrew your garbage disposal using a disposal wrench. Just make sure you disconnect the electrical lines before removing your appliance.

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.

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.
