"They were pleasant and efficient. I was surprised about the cost. I am an older person and probably I am out of touch with cost of this type of service. However, their service was excellent."

"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."

"They were really good natured and flexible. I made arrangements with them to remove some furniture. They didn’t mind that I was handing them other stuff when they were here. I would hire them again. Also, they had to break off the sofa legs to get it out the door, but they didn’t leave me with the mess. They came back to collect all the pieces and get rid of them. That was good."

"When a split commercial sink in my restaurant unexpectedly sprang a leak, it dumped hundreds of gallons of water into the basement and caused significant damage. I contacted Andreozzi Logistics, and Nick immediately stepped in and coordinated the entire cleanup process with professionalism, urgency, and expertise. His team handled the removal of water-damaged debris, soaked hardwood flooring, and other affected materials efficiently and safely. Throughout the project, communication was excellent, and Nick made sure every detail was addressed from start to finish. Andreozzi Logistics is worth every penny. They showed up when I needed them most, worked hard, and delivered exactly what they promised. I am extremely happy with the results and would not hesitate to hire them again. I highly recommend Andreozzi Logistics to anyone in need of cleanout, remediation support, or emergency property services."

Garbage Collection questions, answered by experts

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. 

Replacing a garbage disposal costs anywhere from $150 to $950, but the average cost is somewhere around $550. There are two types of garbage disposal units, and continuous feed disposals tend to cost more than batch feed disposals. Going for an aluminum garbage disposal is also significantly cheaper than choosing a stainless steel garbage disposal. You'll also need to factor in the horsepower of the motor, labor, and the removal and disposal of your old unit.

Whether it's worth repairing your garbage disposal depends on its age and the specific problem. Generally, if the unit is eight years old or younger, repair is a good option. For minor issues like a bad seal or a simple jam, a repair can be inexpensive, sometimes under $10. However, if the motor is broken (a repair that can cost $150 or more) or the unit is getting old, it's often more cost-effective to replace the entire disposal.

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. 

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.
