Let’s face it. That’s not just clutter you’ve got building up in a certain room of your home. It’s a whole bundle of items that feel like a nightmare to sort. It would be easy if you could just toss everything in frustration, but you can’t. After all, there’s bound to be a lot of things you want to hold on to buried amongst the stuff that’s pure trash. No wonder some days you don’t even want to deal with it. So don’t. That’s our job at Fresh Start Clean Out, Inc. See, unlike other major removal companies, Fresh Start Clean Out Inc. doesn’t just take everything away without a second thought. We understand that your things are valuable to you. Even the things you can’t quite figure out whether or not they’re worth keeping. That’s why we’re more consultative and caring than those other guys who see it all as “junk” could ever be. We don’t move a paper clip until we work closely with you to fully take your feelings into consideration as we help you decide what stays and what goes. A one-day consultation is all it takes to begin. From there, we’re ready to move to a stage of rapidly dividing and conquering clutter for you – preserving what’s absolutely needing to stay and swiftly moving out the items that needed to leave your home yesterday. What’s left? The magical feeling of knowing that your Fresh Start – that moment you thought would never happen – has finally arrived. With Fresh Start Clean Out, Inc., you’ve got a new space. The first item we’ll put back into that space is total clarity. You can also call us on this number: (630) 696-3069

Garbage Removal questions, answered by experts

Soil is just one of the items you shouldn't put down a garbage disposal. Garbage disposals are only meant for soft, non-fibrous foods. Large amounts of topsoil, dirt, or rocks will damage the blades of your garbage disposal or clog the pipes. If a small amount of dirt goes down the drain as you repot a plant, you shouldn't have to worry, but never dump a whole pot of soil in the sink for fast disposal.

Regular maintenance, such as not disposing of grease or coffee grounds down the sink and routine use of strainers, can prevent clogs.

The main issue with garbage disposals is clogging. This can mean a clogging of the pipes that expel the food along with water, or a clogging of the mechanical parts themselves. The problem lies in the solution because you can’t easily see clogs if they’re inside the system, and reaching in to dislodge stuck items is a risky proposal. Call a pro and ask what they would do, but if you can’t see the clog easily, and running the unit won’t free it, you need to let a professional handle the fix. 

Your garbage disposal will only affect the health of your septic tank if you’re using it too frequently, or filling it with organic waste that doesn’t fully break down. If the tank fills up with too many solids, the bacteria won’t have enough time to consume it before more is added, which can lead to an overflow in the drain field. Your tank will need to be pumped more frequently with excessive or improper garbage disposal use.

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.
