How can I maximize the life span of my garbage disposal?

• <div><p>As with many appliances, proper maintenance is key to maximizing your garbage disposal’s life span. If everyone in your household is on board with <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-keep-your-garbage-disposal-running.htm">proper care and maintenance</a>, like running water while operating the disposal, you should get plenty of years out of your unit. Avoid putting the wrong food items down the disposal, including pasta, rice, bread, and more.</p></div>

What should not be put in a garbage disposal?

• <div><p>These appliances certainly increase the number of things allowed down the drain, but they’re not foolproof. There are several <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/what-not-put-down-garbage-disposal.htm">items you shouldn’t put in your garbage disposal</a>, 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.</p></div>

Do you need a garbage disposal for a dishwasher?

• <div><p>Many homeowners wonder<a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/garbage-disposal-necessary-dishwasher.htm"> if a garbage disposal is necessary with a dishwasher</a>. After all, many dishwashers are powerful enough to handle bits of food with no issues. </p><p>Still, your dishwasher should not act as a replacement for a disposal. Subjecting your dishwasher to continuous leftovers could lead to major clogs. If you don’t want a garbage disposal in your kitchen, simply scrape away any extra food into your trash can or compost pile.</p></div>

"Our plumber did an amazing job! Arrived right on time, replaced my garbage disposal in no time, and made sure everything was working perfectly before leaving. Friendly, professional, and left the area spotless—couldn’t have asked for better service!"

Jay and his crew removed three pine trees that were in bad shape but were between our home, shop, power lines, and propane tank. Work was excellent and fast and they cleaned up so well I didn't even have to go behind them with a rake. Highly recommend!

We love it! The master bath looks great! We removed the existing bath tub and added an extra large shower and shower seat. We updated the cabinets and sinks and painted the walls. The expandable has been transformed into my dream sewing room! I have more storage than I ever dreamed of!

I chose them because their cost was lower than anyone else. They were supposed to haul away the debris from the tree. They got the easy stuff, but left our backyard a mess. There are still some huge pieces of the tree that need to be removed with a machine. The backyard is just a total mess. I...
