"The Dump Guy went the extra mile for me and earned a very happy customer. First, they showed up when expected, took my junk, and were extremely personable. That would have been completely satisfactory, but there are 2 more things you should know, if you are looking for garbage collection: First, I had a big chunk of concrete that needed to go, and it was too heavy for the guys that came. I was kind of bummed that they couldn't take it. However, a few days later I got a courtesy call from the Dump Guy to make sure things went OK. When I told him about the concrete, he sent out another crew the next day and took care of it...no additional cost! One of the paint cans burst open as they were loading it, and it got paint on the driveway. One of the guys rang the doorbell to ask if he could use my pressure washer to clean it up. I think that is going the extra mile. I really appreciate the professional, courteous, prompt and affordable service."

Garbage Collection questions, answered by experts

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.

You may be able to install a garbage disposal on your own, especially if you're handy or have some experience with plumbing. However, if you have any concerns or want to make absolutely sure that the connections are installed correctly, you may be better off hiring a local garbage disposal installer to do the job. 

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.

The main issue with garbage disposals is clogging. This can mean a clogging of the pipes that expel the food along with water, or a clogging of the mechanical parts themselves. The problem lies in the solution because you can’t easily see clogs if they’re inside the system, and reaching in to dislodge stuck items is a risky proposal. Call a pro and ask what they would do, but if you can’t see the clog easily, and running the unit won’t free it, you need to let a professional handle the fix. 

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.
