"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

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.

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 proper care and maintenance, 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.

Most garbage disposals have a reset button that can be triggered with a tool as simple and accessible as your index finger. That said, if you need to perform a more in-depth troubleshooting step, like manually moving the arms inside the unit or rotating the impeller plate, a hex wrench is the most common tool you’ll need. Most garbage disposals come with a hex wrench.

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.
