"I worked directly with the owner of this company on my project. He was very pleasant and professional in his dealings with me. I appreciated his prompt return of phone calls and texts, and how quickly he was able to complete my storage account unit clean out. I highly recommend Hollywood Junk Removal and would hire them again should the need arise."

"I first hired Antonio a couple of years ago to hang up some very challenging frames, mirrors and hook racks in my condo. Although I had anchors and screws, Antonio had brought better quality ones and he not only hung everything perfectly, he did it quickly and efficiently. Since then, he has helped me several more times at my place, at my daughter‘s condo and in her store where he hung up brackets for shelves. Again everything was done perfectly and efficiently. Antonio also has done junk and building debris removal for my daughter when she was changing residences. Whenever we have something that needs to be done, the first question in my family is, can Antonio do it? And the answer is always of course he can!"

Garbage Collection questions, answered by experts

As with many appliances, proper maintenance is key to maximizing your garbage disposal’s life span. If everyone in your household is on board with proper care and maintenance, like running water while operating the disposal, you should get plenty of years out of your unit. Avoid putting the wrong food items down the disposal, including pasta, rice, bread, and more.

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.

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.

The two main negatives of garbage disposals are they are a safety hazard in homes with children, and they frequently encounter blockage issues. While they might be annoying to fix and monitor, garbage disposals can significantly lower your trash use and are a great way to dispose of organic waste. While there are negatives, the vast majority of homeowners acknowledge the positives are enough to install a disposal in their home. 

While the drain connection for a garbage disposal is nearly universal and fits standard sink drain holes of 3 1/2 to 4 inches, the size of the disposal unit itself is not. You must have enough space in the cabinet underneath your sink to accommodate the disposal's housing. A larger model may not fit in a compact cabinet or if the existing plumbing is arranged in an unusual way. Before buying a new garbage disposal, measure the available space under your sink. If you are replacing an old unit, it's often easiest to choose a new model of a similar size.
