Garbage Service, Garbage Collection, Waste Removal, Trash Pick up in Dahlonega, Dawsonville and Murrayville Ga

"I do not recommend. The owner is friendly, but the service is unreliable. They have not collected trash for 3 weeks now (the week before Christmas, the week after and the first week of the new year). I have tried calling for the last 2 weeks to only be sent to voicemail, but I cannot leave a message because the mailbox is full, I truly hope that Steve is okay. I am going to take my trash to the landfill this weekend and I have scheduled another trash collection service (the City of Dawsonville) to begin next week."

Garbage Collection questions, answered by experts

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. 

These appliances certainly increase the number of things allowed down the drain, but they’re not foolproof. There are several items you shouldn’t put in your garbage disposal, according to manufacturers and technicians. Don’t put coffee grounds down the drain. The same goes for eggshells, potato peels, hard foods, onion skins, and any dry, expandable food. Most importantly, never put grease or oils down the drain.

Once you have your garbage disposal disconnected, you can remove the mounting bracket by unscrewing the bolts that are holding the bracket. You can back them out just enough to pop off the snap ring, which prevents the bottom portion of the bracket from disconnecting from the top when you unscrew the bolts. Use a regular screwdriver to pop off the snap ring, and the rest of the components should fall off by themselves.

Garbage disposals last an average of about 10 years, so it may be time for a new model if it's getting up there in age. Other signs that it's time to bring in a local garbage disposal pro include:

  • Leaks under your disposal

  • Persistent clogs

  • Lingering odors

  • Lack of power

  • Unexplained noises

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.
