"I was very pleased with Revolve Junk Removal. Dre and his partner were the kind of people I don’t mind having in my house. They took their shoes off before coming in and they were polite and friendly. They gave me a good price to remove two couches. I will definitely use them again."

ReSupply is a Veteran-founded organization that partners with nonprofits across the country to provide convenient, affordable, full-service donation pickups for their donors. We pick up when nonprofits can't. We offer professional junk removal and donation pickups within 24-48 hours, will pick up all items in any condition from anywhere in your home, and deliver them to a local partnered nonprofit to benefit their mission and be reused. If an item cannot be accepted at a charity, we'll take it to another, and then another. If your items are not able to be accepted by any charities near you, we'll take them to a recycling facility, ensuring you don't need to schedule a separate waste removal service. To date, because of generous donors, ReSupply has kept over 36 million pounds out of our landfills and brought over $40 million in resources to our nonprofit partners. It's giving made simple.

Garbage Collection questions, answered by experts

Most garbage disposals have a reset button that can be triggered with a tool as simple and accessible as your index finger. That said, if you need to perform a more in-depth troubleshooting step, like manually moving the arms inside the unit or rotating the impeller plate, a hex wrench is the most common tool you’ll need. Most garbage disposals come with a hex wrench.

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.

On average, a garbage disposal can last anywhere from 7 to 12 years, with many models functioning well for about 10 years. With heavy usage, a motor may last a minimum of five years, while grinding plates will wear down over time. It's generally a good idea to consider a replacement if your unit is approaching the 10-year mark. Other signs that it's time for a new disposal include frequent leaks, persistent clogs, lingering odors, lack of power, or unusual noises. If your unit is not that old, it's worth investigating if a less expensive part, like a rubber seal or a loose hose, is causing the issue.

The most common garbage disposal size in the U.S. is 1/2 horsepower. This size is ideal for households with three or fewer people or those that don't produce much food waste. Although 1/2 horsepower can't handle the typical food waste load for a household of four (which is about 250 pounds of food waste annually) as effectively as 3/4 horsepower, it remains the most common size of garbage disposal on the market.

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.
