"Peyton from Chuck that Junk responded to my request quickly, provided a fair quote, and adjusted it when I added more to the job. I've asked teenagers for help. My neighbors offered to help. But the job was too big. Peyton completed the job within 2 business days. What a relief!"

"Tyler showed up on time with his crew of 3. They assessed the situation and told me what they thought was the best option, but still gave me all the possible trimming/removal options and the pros and cons to each of them. They performed the removal safely, securing the tree so that it could not fall into my home before than began to cut it down. I was surprised at how quickly they were able to remove it while doing so in a safe manner. They cleaned up any debris and were gone in just a couple of hours! I called several services and Tyler gave me the most competitive price and his honesty put me at ease, that was probably the deciding factor for me choosing Lumberjacks Tree Service. Would highly recommend to anyone in need!"

"This company is wonderful.  They wrapped all items both fragile and non-fragile that they did not want scratched.  When they left something behind accidentally, they went back for it at no charge.
They are so personable and professional I used them again.  I needed to have a tri-cornered hutch moved from Hixson to my home in E Brainerd. Once again, professionalism, carefulness, timeliness and cost were so well done.  I will absolutely use Bizzy Bee anytime I need any items moved that I am not able myself.  Thank you for helping us find just the right people.

"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."

Garbage Removal questions, answered by experts

The most common garbage disposal size in the U.S. is 1/2 horsepower. This size is ideal for households with three or fewer people or those that don't produce much food waste. Although 1/2 horsepower can't handle the typical food waste load for a household of four (which is about 250 pounds of food waste annually) as effectively as 3/4 horsepower, it remains the most common size of garbage disposal on the market.

Garbage disposals can be considered bad for the environment due to their electricity usage, but good for the environment because they reduce the food waste sent to landfills. If everyone used a garbage disposal, it would tax the wastewater treatment facilities in that region, but if we had to choose one of the options, we’d say they are a net positive on the environment when used correctly. 

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.

The two main negatives of garbage disposals are they are a safety hazard in homes with children, and they frequently encounter blockage issues. While they might be annoying to fix and monitor, garbage disposals can significantly lower your trash use and are a great way to dispose of organic waste. While there are negatives, the vast majority of homeowners acknowledge the positives are enough to install a disposal in their home. 

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.
