"Terrific service and extremely responsive. Friendly removal guys who took care not to trample through the house with wet boots. They were very careful with removal of junk so as to not damage walls or other items. Highly recommend them!"

"Really good experience. I needed to have a large and old Weber propane grill removed from my back deck and disposed of. Junk 86 followed up promptly, gave a reasonable estimate, and we scheduled a time for pick-up. They communicated well and were easy to work with. Recommended."

Trustworthy, Dependable, Growth Driven business owner that is ready for new opportunity and new challenges. Eager to run my own operation I started with detailing/ deep cleaning the inside and outside of cars. My consistent, client focused attitude allowed me to gain opportunity in cleaning apartments and houses. Through word of mouth by happy, repeat customers I was able to add semi-trucks to my portfolio. I have built amazing, strong relationships with my clients because of my great communication skills and adaptive nature. If something can't be done I will jump right in as a team plyer, brainstorming and problem solving, finding the best solution for every situation or obstacle.

Garbage Removal questions, answered by experts

Garbage disposals can be considered bad for the environment due to their electricity usage, but good for the environment because they reduce the food waste sent to landfills. If everyone used a garbage disposal, it would tax the wastewater treatment facilities in that region, but if we had to choose one of the options, we’d say they are a net positive on the environment when used correctly. 

These appliances do unscrew, but you need to disconnect everything properly when you replace your garbage disposal. Make sure you shut the power off to the area first and check that it’s off with a voltage detector. Disconnect the main drain line and P-trap, and then disconnect the dishwasher drain line if you have one connected. You can then unscrew your garbage disposal using a disposal wrench. Just make sure you disconnect the electrical lines before removing your appliance.

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. 

Continuous feed garbage disposals are the favorite model for many homeowners for a reason. As opposed to batch feed models, add food scraps to the drain whenever the disposal is running. This variety is also typically less expensive, more convenient, and easier to clean.

If your garbage disposal powers up and you can hear it hum, but the arms inside aren’t moving, the problem might be a stubborn clog, a build-up of grease, or a jam of the impeller plate. To troubleshoot these, ensure your unit is off and disconnected from its power source before checking inside the drain or attempting to manually rotate the impeller arms or plate from the underside of the unit. A hex wrench can help.
