"John arrived the same day that I reached out to him and provided a reasonable quote and great service. He was punctual, polite and a pleasure to work with. It was much nicer working with an individual than one of the national companies. I highly recommend Abco for your rubbish removal needs. You will not be disappointed."

"Big Boss Man Junk Removal & More LLC took on a massive challenge and delivered beyond expectations. The 4-story home had been vacant for over six months and was packed to the limits—every room filled with furniture, personal items, and debris. The refrigerators and freezers were still full of rotting food, and the basement was overloaded not just with expired canned goods, but with an overwhelming amount of clutter and supplies. The property was high-risk, with black mold, rat urine, and fecal matter throughout. Mitch and his crew handled it all with professionalism, care, and grit. They cleared out 12.5 full dump trailers worth of material, wiped down & sanitized every surface, and are pressure washing the entire exterior—including four balconies and a wraparound porch. Their attention to detail, safety protocols, and relentless work ethic turned a hazardous, overwhelming situation into a clean, livable space.

Garbage Removal questions, answered by experts

The two main negatives of garbage disposals are they are a safety hazard in homes with children, and they frequently encounter blockage issues. While they might be annoying to fix and monitor, garbage disposals can significantly lower your trash use and are a great way to dispose of organic waste. While there are negatives, the vast majority of homeowners acknowledge the positives are enough to install a disposal in their home. 

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.

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. 

While the drain connection for a garbage disposal is nearly universal and fits standard sink drain holes of 3 1/2 to 4 inches, the size of the disposal unit itself is not. You must have enough space in the cabinet underneath your sink to accommodate the disposal's housing. A larger model may not fit in a compact cabinet or if the existing plumbing is arranged in an unusual way. Before buying a new garbage disposal, measure the available space under your sink. If you are replacing an old unit, it's often easiest to choose a new model of a similar size.

Replacing a garbage disposal costs anywhere from $150 to $950, but the average cost is somewhere around $550. There are two types of garbage disposal units, and continuous feed disposals tend to cost more than batch feed disposals. Going for an aluminum garbage disposal is also significantly cheaper than choosing a stainless steel garbage disposal. You'll also need to factor in the horsepower of the motor, labor, and the removal and disposal of your old unit.
