"I bought an Angie's List deal from All Day Haul Away for $99 (prepaid); they said by phone that my oversized piece would probably require an extra charge. Four months later when I called for a pickup, it was made by a business called Junk Genius (a subcontractor of All Day Haul Away?). Junk Genius's standard charge is $95, slightly less than the cost of the Angie's List deal I had already paid. Junk Genius said nothing about the load being oversized. Next time, I would try calling Junk Genius first."

"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."

"Someone responded to my weekend inquiry promptly. The service was scheduled quickly. The guys did great, cleaned up the garbage pile and swepted the floor cleaner than it has been in awhile, even took the trash from the garbage cans. I would hire again in a heart beat. Thanks Junk Happens."

"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

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.

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. 

To prevent drain clogs, perform regular maintenance and cleaning. Avoid disposing of substances like grease or coffee grounds down the sink. Additionally, installing and routinely using drain strainers can help catch debris and prevent blockages from forming.

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.

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.
