"500 sqft vacant cabin, basically cleaning a kitchen and super tiny bathroom, charged me $365, the cleaner said it was her first day, bad job, glass on the carpet, didn't clean the ceiling fans, turned on air conditioner and left it on when they left, didn't lock up the house when leaving, horrible customer service and conflicting invoicing and company names, very unprofessional"

Chuck It is an insured full service junk removal company. We go to homes and business and remove items from wherever they are – attics, basements, or backyards. We remove most household items (no household hazardous waste), yard waste, and construction debris. Our jobs range from single item pick-ups to multiple truck loads. We price base on volume; meaning how much room your stuff takes up in our truck. We price based on volume; meaning how much room your stuff takes up in our truck. We operate out of an 18.5 cubic yard dump truck (It's 25% larger than most of our competitors). The bed of the truck is 12’6” L x 8’W x 5’H. Normally what I do is try to give an estimate based on what you tell me you are looking to get rid of. If it is difficult to quantify things then I like to give what I call our “milestone pricing;” what it cost for a 1/4 load ($269), 1/2 load ($399), 3/4 load ($519), and full load ($599). For reference, each quarter of a load on our truck is equivalent to the amount of stuff that would fit in a full size 8’ pick-up truck bed loaded to one foot over the bed rails. If the cost seems reasonable to you then we set a date and time to come out. Once we get there and see everything in person we will give you a hard written number and upon your approval we will be ready to load everything up. Once loaded we will donate items that are able to be donated, recycle as much as possible, and properly dispose of all other items in a landfill. If you should have questions or would like to schedule an appointment please give us a call. You can also check out our website for more information. The home page pictures may help you size up your load.

Garbage Collection questions, answered by experts

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. 

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.

No, you don’t need a garbage disposal for a dishwasher. A dishwasher will work without a garbage disposal. However, the two appliances pair well and are often installed together. It is rare to see a home with a dishwasher that doesn’t have a garbage disposal, but that doesn’t mean it's not possible. Each appliance serves its own purpose. 

Once you have your garbage disposal disconnected, you can remove the mounting bracket by unscrewing the bolts that are holding the bracket. You can back them out just enough to pop off the snap ring, which prevents the bottom portion of the bracket from disconnecting from the top when you unscrew the bolts. Use a regular screwdriver to pop off the snap ring, and the rest of the components should fall off by themselves.

Your garbage disposal is not draining because it might have a clog due to food waste, a foreign object, grease, oil, fat, or it may have a broken motor. When water doesn't flush out of the disposal, that's a key sign that your disposal has a clog or needs repair.
