"WARNING!!! DO NOT HIRE DLM Transport llc!! I hired Doug Mulinix and DLM transport to ship a park model trailer and paid $1750.00 deposit on a $7000.00 job in Feb 2023 was told it would be picked up within 3 days and here we are in April and as of April 9th and several excuses I still have no trailer and after many conversations with owner Doug Mulinix was ultimately told he was NOT going to pick up my trailer and for me to get a lawyer to get my deposit back! Then he blocked my phone number! W**? So he is going to get his wish! Do not hire! I thought by hiring a veteran/ firefighter owned company I was getting someone with INTEGRITY! He has zero!!!"

No job is too big or too Small, I can get the job done. I recently graduated from Illinois State University with a degree in History and Political Science, but this is the work I enjoy doing. I have had my business for 3 years now and now that I am done with school I am ready to grow it bigger. I have done just about everything but I primarily focus on work outside around the yard during the summer.

Garbage Collection 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.

Many homeowners wonder if a garbage disposal is necessary with a dishwasher. After all, many dishwashers are powerful enough to handle bits of food with no issues.  

Still, your dishwasher should not act as a replacement for a disposal. Subjecting your dishwasher to continuous leftovers could lead to major clogs. If you don’t want a garbage disposal in your kitchen, simply scrape away any extra food into your trash can or compost pile.

Garbage disposals fit the drains of nearly every sink out there due to universal drain hole sizes of 3 1/2 to 4 inches, but the same isn’t true for the housing underneath the sink. You need plenty of room to fit a garbage disposal under there, so measure the space ahead of time and use those dimensions when shopping for a new model. If you’re replacing an existing model, get one in that size.

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. 

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.
