"I recently used this company for a large junk removal job, I couldn’t be happier with the experience. Scheduling was easy, they showed up on time, the crew was friendly and respectful of my space. If you’re looking for a reliable junk removal, or help clearing out building materials or waste I’d definitely recommend Junk Amore & Haulage."

"Fantastic working with Catskill Site Services! I recently purchased a home full of garbage so I reached out on Angie's list for a dumpster service. I was immediately contacted by catskill site service who were so helpful in determining what I would need to get the job done within my budget. They scheduled for me last minute, had both dumpsters here 1st thing the next morning, and picked up the loads up the very next day at my request. They alot plenty of time for the use of their dumpsters for those that need it longer but really work with you through the process to accommodate what you need done within your time frames. They even went above and beyond coming back to remove 6 tires for disposal that the dump does not accept. I highly recommend Catskill Site Services and plan to use them again for other services they offer."

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. 

Garbage disposals are durable appliances that usually last at least eight years as long as you clean and maintain them. It’s relatively rare for a garbage disposal to break on its own, as most malfunctions happen due to user errors, like overstuffing the grinding compartment or damaging the blades by trying to dispose of metal or bone. Eventually, cracks or leaks could develop in the unit, which requires a full replacement. 

Whether it's worth repairing your garbage disposal depends on its age and the specific problem. Generally, if the unit is eight years old or younger, repair is a good option. For minor issues like a bad seal or a simple jam, a repair can be inexpensive, sometimes under $10. However, if the motor is broken (a repair that can cost $150 or more) or the unit is getting old, it's often more cost-effective to replace the entire disposal.

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.

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.
