"I can’t say enough good things about the team at Up and Out Junk Removal. I had a big mess on my hands after a major home remodel, piles of drywall, broken cabinets, old flooring, and random junk everywhere. I reached out for a quote, and they responded quickly with a competitive price and scheduled service for the very next day. The crew arrived on time, worked quickly, and handled everything with care. They removed all the debris without damaging anything around it, and they even cleaned up the area afterward so it looked better than before they came. Everyone I spoke to was courteous and professional. They made what could have been a stressful situation completely painless. No job seemed too big or too small for them, and they tackled everything with a great attitude. If you’re looking for a trustworthy hauling company that gets the job done right, look no further than Up and Out Junk Removal. They’ll be my go-to team for any future clean-up or removal projects!

Garbage Collection questions, answered by experts

Never put glass in the garbage disposal. It can damage your disposal or eject shards of glass out of the disposal and cause injury. If you get broken glass in your garbage disposal, turn it off and cut the power from the breaker, use a tool like pliers or tongs to remove the glass, and use a wet-dry vacuum to remove the remaining glass pieces. If you can’t access the disposal safely, call a garbage disposal repair pro.

You may be able to install a garbage disposal on your own, especially if you're handy or have some experience with plumbing. However, if you have any concerns or want to make absolutely sure that the connections are installed correctly, you may be better off hiring a local garbage disposal installer to do the job. 

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.

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.

As with many appliances, proper maintenance is key to maximizing your garbage disposal’s life span. If everyone in your household is on board with proper care and maintenance, like running water while operating the disposal, you should get plenty of years out of your unit. Avoid putting the wrong food items down the disposal, including pasta, rice, bread, and more.
