"We had construction debris (drywall, plumbing pipe, tile, old house fixture, etc) in our garage and basement patio. The owner was willing to come same day, but that didn’t work for my schedule. We settled on a price and scheduled for the following day. The crew arrived, on time, in a company branded box truck, similar to a medium sized U-Haul. They collected all the junk in a timely fashion and they were on their way. I’d gladly hire them again."

"Josh did an amazing job on our heavy cleanout project. The amount of clutter was overwhelming, but he came in with a plan and handled everything professionally from start to finish. He worked quickly, stayed organized, and made the whole process stress-free for us. He was respectful of the situation, communicated clearly, and went above and beyond to make sure everything was cleared out and cleaned up properly. The transformation was unbelievable. I highly recommend Josh and his team if you need a large cleanout done right!"

Garbage Collection questions, answered by experts

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. 

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.

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.

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. 

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.
