"I worked with Nick and the team at Standard Clean Outs. Nick was friendly, professional and communicated well throughout the job. From 1st contact, he was clear and prompt with his knowledge and assessment of this huge project. He was also able to work with me closely to complete the extensive paperwork required by building management and was flexible; providing quick turn-around for the submission of required documentation. Nick showed up ON TIME for each day the 2 day job and he and his efficient team worked swiftly, tirelessly and without complaint or issues of any kind. They did not make any unnecessary noise or create any messes in the common areas of this high-rise condo. Nick took virtual payment and sent electronic receipts instantly; which helped with record-keeping. Best of all, he treated us with dignity and respect during this stressful hoarding clean up. If ever I need to deal with a situation of this again, I would call Nick in a heartbeat. I highly recommend him and I'm completely satisfied with his work."

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 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.

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. 

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.

No, you do not need a garbage disposal to have a dishwasher. A dishwasher will work without one, and while it's rare to see a home with a dishwasher that doesn't have a disposal, it is possible. The two appliances pair well and are often installed together because a disposal simplifies meal cleanup.

However, your dishwasher should not be used as a replacement for a garbage disposal. Subjecting it to continuous food leftovers can lead to major clogs. If you choose not to install a garbage disposal, you should thoroughly rinse your plates or scrape excess food into the trash or a compost pile before loading them into the dishwasher to prevent plumbing issues.
