"Mark and his crew arrived on time and took on the challenge without complaint.  The apartment is down an alley and has steep 
stairs.  They tackled the problem efficiently and well.  I would highly recommend them for any type of removal.  They were extremely helpful and courteous.  The pricing was more than fair.  I will use them again.

"I couldn?t be happier with the service! From the moment they arrived, the team was professional, respectful, and incredibly organized. They communicated with me every step of the way, explaining the process and making sure I knew exactly what was happening. They worked efficiently without cutting corners and handled everything with care. What looked like an overwhelming amount of junk was removed quickly, and they left the garage clean and spotless. Their attention to detail, teamwork, and customer service truly stood out. If you?re looking for a reliable, honest, and hardworking junk removal company, I highly recommend them. The before-and-after transformation was amazing, and I?ll definitely be using their services again!"

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.

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.

No, you do not need a garbage disposal to have a dishwasher. A dishwasher will work without one, and while it's rare to see a home with a dishwasher that doesn't have a disposal, it is possible. The two appliances pair well and are often installed together because a disposal simplifies meal cleanup.

However, your dishwasher should not be used as a replacement for a garbage disposal. Subjecting it to continuous food leftovers can lead to major clogs. If you choose not to install a garbage disposal, you should thoroughly rinse your plates or scrape excess food into the trash or a compost pile before loading them into the dishwasher to prevent plumbing issues.

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.

When a dishwasher discharges its wastewater, it uses a pump to quickly move a lot of water. If anything in the drain line or the garbage disposal impedes the high volume of water, it will back up into the sink through the drain or the garbage disposal. Following regular dishwasher maintenance tips like clearing clogs, keeping them cleared, and occasionally running the disposal will eliminate the problem.
