"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 Collection 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. 

If the cost of repairing a leaking garbage disposal is close to the cost of replacing the disposal, then fixing the unit might not make sense. When deciding if you should repair or replace your garbage disposal, consider the age of your garbage disposal, the cost of the repair, and whether your garbage disposal has had other problems recently to help you decide if the cost of repairing the leak is better than the cost of replacing the disposal.

On average, a garbage disposal can last anywhere from 7 to 12 years, with many models functioning well for about 10 years. With heavy usage, a motor may last a minimum of five years, while grinding plates will wear down over time. It's generally a good idea to consider a replacement if your unit is approaching the 10-year mark. Other signs that it's time for a new disposal include frequent leaks, persistent clogs, lingering odors, lack of power, or unusual noises. If your unit is not that old, it's worth investigating if a less expensive part, like a rubber seal or a loose hose, is causing the issue.

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.

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.
