My team and I have been hauling junk and clearing spaces for a few months now, and in that time we’ve tackled everything from single-item pickups to full estate cleanouts, garage overhauls, and post-renovation debris. No job is too big or too small — even after some time we’ve seen a lot. \n\nWe proudly serve North Jersey including surrounding areas such as Hunterdon, Somerset and Middlesex and we’re happy to travel further for larger jobs — just ask.\n\nWhat sets us apart is our efficient same-day service, careful handling of your home and belongings, eco-friendly and biohazard disposals, donation drop-offs, heavy-lifting and tight-space experience. We know how to work quickly without cutting corners, and we always leave a space cleaner than we found it.\n\nAt the end of the day, we believe junk removal should be stress-free. You point, we haul — no judgment, no hassle, no mess left behind. Our goal is to make your space feel like yours again, and we treat every job like it’s our own home.

Garbage Collection FAQs, answered by experts

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.

To prevent drain clogs, perform regular maintenance and cleaning. Avoid disposing of substances like grease or coffee grounds down the sink. Additionally, installing and routinely using drain strainers can help catch debris and prevent blockages from forming.

The most common garbage disposal size in the U.S. is 1/2 horsepower. This size is ideal for households with three or fewer people or those that don't produce much food waste. Although 1/2 horsepower can't handle the typical food waste load for a household of four (which is about 250 pounds of food waste annually) as effectively as 3/4 horsepower, it remains the most common size of garbage disposal on the market.

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.

Soil is just one of the items you shouldn't put down a garbage disposal. Garbage disposals are only meant for soft, non-fibrous foods. Large amounts of topsoil, dirt, or rocks will damage the blades of your garbage disposal or clog the pipes. If a small amount of dirt goes down the drain as you repot a plant, you shouldn't have to worry, but never dump a whole pot of soil in the sink for fast disposal.
