We service the parishes of St. Tammany, Washington, and Tangipahoa. We are locally owned and operated. Licensed & Insured. Call us today!

"Have worked with Ameribox twice and Highly Recommend them for compassionate staff and owners, clean dumpsters, beyond respectful explanation, easy rental service, wide array or dumpster size as well as options for various amounts of days that the dumpster is needed. The delivery driver spends extra time and care from where you want the dumpster placed to placing driveway protectors down, a gentlest and slow placement to respect your driveway’s integrity and prompt communication, unbeatable price~thank you Ameribox for making an unpleasant and required clean/clear out more than bearable… from start to finish, the care and impeccable service to communication (the 20 yd dumpster even had a door to make really large items placement soooo much easier). Ameribox Rocks my Socks; recommend 100 thousand percent."

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.

Generally speaking, it’s absolutely worth it to repair a garbage disposal, so long as it’s eight years old or younger. Once you pass that eight-year threshold, it depends on the issue. If it’s a simple jam and the core components remain unaffected, call a local plumber for a quick repair. If it seems like the motor is wearing down, spring for a replacement unit. 

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.

Garbage disposals last an average of seven years but can function well past 10 years. However, as time goes on and more food is ground, the grinding plates will slowly lose their edge and need replacing. A motor likely won’t last 10 or more years, but you should be able to get a minimum of five years at least, even under heavy usage. 

There are many maintenance and repair issues that lead to a malfunctioning garbage disposal. Regular clogs place wear and tear on the motors, leading to an eventual shutdown. Electrical issues at the breaker, wall outlet, or disposal itself can fry the unit. The most common cause is simply a worn-down motor. These motors can only handle so much use before powering down for good.
