"Quick, fair, and thorough! We had a large pile of logs and branches from a tree removal. Alex gave the most reasonable quote and showed up within the hour to clear everything out. Great service—hardworking, responsive, and easy to work with. Would absolutely hire again."

"Hired this company to clean up a construction site. They were 10 minutes early, which is great also very respectable. I gave directions on what needed to be cleaned and dumped after that. I left for a meeting. Mr. Anthony advised me they should be done within four hours. I returned within three hours. Everything was done, I believe they did an excellent job and even going above standards. I was reluctant to hire them, but I’m very happy I did. Afterwards I asked can they go pick up kitchen cabinets and advise them they have to be very delicate with moving them. When he arrived with the cabinets, it was strapped with bubble wrap and very secure. Also upon moving them in it was done with time and care. No scratches on the cabinets or my walls. I thank you guys again and will be contacting you for future business."

"It went very well. Nice man. He had to dismantle the hoop, the pole, and the base with a saw and he hauled away all of the pieces, including most of the sand that had filled the base. The rest of the sand I told him he could leave and I would just spread it around the yard. He swept up what had spilled in the driveway and was finished in less than an hour. I have already referred him to a freind for another project."

"He came promptly, did a thorough, professional job, and even cleared our sidewalks. He timed the service to match our needs. He undid the harm caused by careless city snow ploughing that blocks our driveway. We plan to call him every time it snows because of his thorough, reliable service."

"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 Collection questions, answered by experts

No, you do not need a garbage disposal to have a dishwasher. A dishwasher will work without one, and while it's rare to see a home with a dishwasher that doesn't have a disposal, it is possible. The two appliances pair well and are often installed together because a disposal simplifies meal cleanup.

However, your dishwasher should not be used as a replacement for a garbage disposal. Subjecting it to continuous food leftovers can lead to major clogs. If you choose not to install a garbage disposal, you should thoroughly rinse your plates or scrape excess food into the trash or a compost pile before loading them into the dishwasher to prevent plumbing issues.

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.

When a dishwasher discharges its wastewater, it uses a pump to quickly move a lot of water. If anything in the drain line or the garbage disposal impedes the high volume of water, it will back up into the sink through the drain or the garbage disposal. Following regular dishwasher maintenance tips like clearing clogs, keeping them cleared, and occasionally running the disposal will eliminate the problem.

Continuous feed garbage disposals are the favorite model for many homeowners for a reason. As opposed to batch feed models, add food scraps to the drain whenever the disposal is running. This variety is also typically less expensive, more convenient, and easier to clean.

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.
