"These people are NOT pros. They get paid $8.00/ hour, straight from them. All we heard is how cheap Eldred was and hate their jobs.They started by not bringing garment boxes, crushed 5, $1,800.00 suits into a 2x2 box. There was over $16,000.00 in missing items, (although I submitted a claim for less because I didn’t check my hand tool boxes ), mostly Milwaukee Power tools. A Korean Jewelry box, valued at $1,800. My black leather coat and more. They went into every dresser drawer looking for more and they got more items in there. They dented and damaged both, the washer and dryer. We are both disabled and took off with our safety ladder and Left a bed un assembled. We Did file a police report. All six were called in, but nobody ratted anyone out. We Filed a claim. They just ignored it. After calling old man Eldred, we were told,(by him), he’d look at it. Turned out, he took off for Florida a few days later. DO NOT HIRE THESE AMATEURS. Remember this:..What goes on that truck, is NO guarantee it’s coming off."

Garbage Removal questions, answered by experts

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.

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.

You can pour boiling water down the garbage disposal only when cleaning it. Use hot water to flush baking soda and vinegar down the drain for a quick clean-up. For running food down the disposal, always use cold water.

Garbage disposals are durable appliances that usually last at least eight years as long as you clean and maintain them. It’s relatively rare for a garbage disposal to break on its own, as most malfunctions happen due to user errors, like overstuffing the grinding compartment or damaging the blades by trying to dispose of metal or bone. Eventually, cracks or leaks could develop in the unit, which requires a full replacement. 

These appliances certainly increase the number of things allowed down the drain, but they’re not foolproof. There are several items you shouldn’t put in your garbage disposal, according to manufacturers and technicians. Don’t put coffee grounds down the drain. The same goes for eggshells, potato peels, hard foods, onion skins, and any dry, expandable food. Most importantly, never put grease or oils down the drain.
