"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."

"What a great business. The dirt and gravel removal from a recent landscaping job was done much better than I anticipated. They were VERY concerned that I would be happy with the work. I would highly recommend them."

"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."

Garbage Collection questions, answered by experts

To prevent drain clogs, perform regular maintenance and cleaning. Avoid disposing of substances like grease or coffee grounds down the sink. Additionally, installing and routinely using drain strainers can help catch debris and prevent blockages from forming.

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.

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. 

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.
