"I called Junk Justice to pick up and haul away several items from my home after remodeling my basement. My garage was full and I have a very busy schedule. I didn’t have time to do it myself. I spoke to Wes and told him what I wanted done. He was very accommodating and made it so easy. He showed up on time and was very professional. Wes loaded everything up and thanked me for my business. I was so impressed that I asked him to come back and haul away a bunch of brush that I had stacked up in a huge pile. I was so happy when it was all done. I would definitely use Junk Justice again and would definitely recommend him."

"I usually don?t do reviews, but this one is definitely deserved. Jeff was absolutely amazing to work and his pricing was more than fair compared to the competitors that have hidden fees. He went above and beyond helping me with the removal of old household items that I needed to have done last minute as I was in a time crunch. Jeff showed up ready to work with a helper. They were nose to the grindstone and not only helped me get the garage cleaned out, but took the initiative to help me carry things up from the basement to finish the project completely. It was such a relief to have that done. I will be using himmoving forward for any type of waste removal. I?m all about supporting a small business and when you find somebody like Jeff where you more than get your moneys worth it was important for me to take the time to write this review."

"They responded promptly to my initial inquiries, and arrived right on time on the day of our appointment (during the first major snowfall of the year, even) and removed the stuff I needed hauled away very efficiently. Very friendly and professional folks. Even after offering them a bit extra for hauling out some additional oversized boxes for me as well as the things we'd prearranged, I'm quite sure I couldn't have found a better price short of just doing it myself. I'd recommend them to anyone, and will certainly be calling on them again myself."

Garbage Collection questions, answered by experts

Your garbage disposal will only affect the health of your septic tank if you’re using it too frequently, or filling it with organic waste that doesn’t fully break down. If the tank fills up with too many solids, the bacteria won’t have enough time to consume it before more is added, which can lead to an overflow in the drain field. Your tank will need to be pumped more frequently with excessive or improper garbage disposal use.

These appliances certainly increase the number of things allowed down the drain, but they’re not foolproof. There are several items you shouldn’t put in your garbage disposal, according to manufacturers and technicians. Don’t put coffee grounds down the drain. The same goes for eggshells, potato peels, hard foods, onion skins, and any dry, expandable food. Most importantly, never put grease or oils down the drain.

There are many maintenance and repair issues that lead to a malfunctioning garbage disposal. Regular clogs place wear and tear on the motors, leading to an eventual shutdown. Electrical issues at the breaker, wall outlet, or disposal itself can fry the unit. The most common cause is simply a worn-down motor. These motors can only handle so much use before powering down for good. 

On average, a garbage disposal can last anywhere from 7 to 12 years, with many models functioning well for about 10 years. With heavy usage, a motor may last a minimum of five years, while grinding plates will wear down over time. It's generally a good idea to consider a replacement if your unit is approaching the 10-year mark. Other signs that it's time for a new disposal include frequent leaks, persistent clogs, lingering odors, lack of power, or unusual noises. If your unit is not that old, it's worth investigating if a less expensive part, like a rubber seal or a loose hose, is causing the issue.

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.
