"My garage was an overwhelming disaster. Chris came in, came up with a plan & his team very quickly had all of the trash hauled away & the things I was keeping set aside neatly. He has done several other jobs for me & they have all gone smoothly."

"I had an exceptional experience working with Gregner, the owner. He provided outstanding service while disassembling my furniture in preparation for my upcoming move. From start to finish, he demonstrated professionalism, efficiency, and excellent customer service. I was especially impressed with his responsiveness and willingness to accommodate my needs on such short notice. His attention to detail and dedication to completing the job properly made the entire process much easier and less stressful. Thanks to Gregner?s assistance, my moving company will have significantly less work to handle on moving day, allowing for a smoother transition from my current residence to my new home. I truly appreciate his hard work, reliability, and commitment to customer satisfaction. I highly recommend Gregner to anyone seeking dependable, professional, and high-quality furniture services. I will definitely consider using his services again in the future!"

Garbage Collection FAQs, answered by experts

These appliances do unscrew, but you need to disconnect everything properly when you replace your garbage disposal. Make sure you shut the power off to the area first and check that it’s off with a voltage detector. Disconnect the main drain line and P-trap, and then disconnect the dishwasher drain line if you have one connected. You can then unscrew your garbage disposal using a disposal wrench. Just make sure you disconnect the electrical lines before removing your appliance.

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.

Garbage disposals are durable appliances that usually last at least eight years as long as you clean and maintain them. It’s relatively rare for a garbage disposal to break on its own, as most malfunctions happen due to user errors, like overstuffing the grinding compartment or damaging the blades by trying to dispose of metal or bone. Eventually, cracks or leaks could develop in the unit, which requires a full replacement. 

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.

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.
