"I've used The Standard Clean Outs twice. The most recent project was a truly horrendous one involving the removal of items from a hoarded house. Furniture, appliances, books, clothing, and accumulated garbage was hauled out in a very efficient and helpful way. It was very emotional for me to do but it had to be done and Nick and his crew were exceptional, patient, and kind. I would not hesitate to hire The Standard Clean Outs in the future."

"I hired a pro from Ant’s Junk Removal to remove couches, a dining table and chairs from my apartment. The process to set up the appointment was quick and they got the job done efficiently. Literally in and out within 10 minutes! I would definitely recommend and use this company again for future jobs. Thank you for your kind service Anthony!"

"I found David on Angie list and he got back to me immediately. I explained what I needed done and I had an estimate within3 hours. He is very affordable and was able to come the following week. They arrived on time. Very efficient, made sure everything was cleaned up before they left. I will be hiring him again for another project that I will be doing. Definitely hire him, you won't regretting it. You can see in the pictures what a great job he did. Thank you again David"

Garbage Collection FAQs, answered by experts

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 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.

You may be able to install a garbage disposal on your own, especially if you're handy or have some experience with plumbing. However, if you have any concerns or want to make absolutely sure that the connections are installed correctly, you may be better off hiring a local garbage disposal installer to do the job. 

Your garbage disposal is not draining because it might have a clog due to food waste, a foreign object, grease, oil, fat, or it may have a broken motor. When water doesn't flush out of the disposal, that's a key sign that your disposal has a clog or needs repair. 

On average, it takes one to four hours for a professional to install a garbage disposal. This includes removing the old unit, taking necessary measurements for positioning, removing and fitting new pipes, and installing the brand-new disposal system. If there are unforeseen issues, such as accessibility concerns, the process takes longer.
