"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

While unplugging your garbage disposal and plugging it back in may help, most units have an actual reset button, a bright red switch found on the underside of your unit. If your garbage disposal needs resetting, you may notice this button sticking out about a quarter of an inch from the surface of the unit, with which it’s usually flush. Simply depress this reset button to reset the unit, and then test to ensure it’s working about 10 minutes later.

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.

On average, it takes one to four hours for a professional to install a garbage disposal. This includes removing the old unit, taking necessary measurements for positioning, removing and fitting new pipes, and installing the brand-new disposal system. If there are unforeseen issues, such as accessibility concerns, the process takes longer.

Most garbage disposals have a reset button that can be triggered with a tool as simple and accessible as your index finger. That said, if you need to perform a more in-depth troubleshooting step, like manually moving the arms inside the unit or rotating the impeller plate, a hex wrench is the most common tool you’ll need. Most garbage disposals come with a hex wrench.

On average, a garbage disposal can last anywhere from 7 to 12 years, with many models functioning well for about 10 years. With heavy usage, a motor may last a minimum of five years, while grinding plates will wear down over time. It's generally a good idea to consider a replacement if your unit is approaching the 10-year mark. Other signs that it's time for a new disposal include frequent leaks, persistent clogs, lingering odors, lack of power, or unusual noises. If your unit is not that old, it's worth investigating if a less expensive part, like a rubber seal or a loose hose, is causing the issue.
