Welcome to the home of the Dump Guy, Maine's first choice in fast, friendly, reliable, and competitively priced removal service. We stand behind our motto, as there is no job too big and no job too small. From single items to entire properties, our crews can handle all your removal needs. If for some reason we can't, being veterans in the removal business, we'll be happy to recommend someone reliable who can, as our customers' needs are our top priority.

"The Dump Guy provided one of the most exceptional customer service experiences I have had in years. I scheduled via email, they answered a few questions I had, and called me the day of asking if they could arrive 2 hours early (happily!). When the two gentlemen showed up, they were friendly, personable, and willing to do whatever needed to be done. They even thanked me for getting all my junk into three piles on the lawn for them to take. I thought I had underestimated my haul and thought I would have to spend more, but they said the brush would be a little cheaper than the other stuff because it is lighter. There was a VERY large broken branch on my lawn I didn't consider having them haul, and they offered to throw it in if I wanted. When they picked up the brush and branches, they raked up everything around so it was perfect as they left. Also, I had this strange, thick metal wire sticking up from my driveway, and one of the gentlemen offered to cut it off with his Sawsall so it wouldn't mess up my car. Above and beyond doesn't cover the level of service I received! No question I would hire again."

Garbage Collection questions, answered by experts

Regular maintenance, such as not disposing of grease or coffee grounds down the sink and routine use of strainers, can prevent clogs.

Garbage disposals last an average of seven years but can function well past 10 years. However, as time goes on and more food is ground, the grinding plates will slowly lose their edge and need replacing. A motor likely won’t last 10 or more years, but you should be able to get a minimum of five years at least, even under heavy usage. 

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.

If you cook a lot or have a larger household, a garbage disposal can be worth it, since it streamlines your kitchen duties and helps to keep food waste out of landfills. It helps to know the cost of garbage disposal installation before you make your decision. The average price is about $400, but you can expect to pay more for higher-end models or if you hire a pro to do the job for you.

Generally speaking, it’s absolutely worth it to repair a garbage disposal, so long as it’s eight years old or younger. Once you pass that eight-year threshold, it depends on the issue. If it’s a simple jam and the core components remain unaffected, call a local plumber for a quick repair. If it seems like the motor is wearing down, spring for a replacement unit.
