"Excellent junk removal service! Jack was professional, friendly, and efficient from start to finish. He arrived on time, worked quickly, and made the entire process stress-free. He handled everything with care and left the area clean when they finished. Pricing was fair, and customer service was great. I highly recommend Jack to anyone needing junk removal and would definitely use his services again!"

"A++ It is not often that you can describe a business as heroic. My 80 year old dad lived in his home for nearly all his life. I finally convinced him to move South. I had his belongings packed up and moved. But, there was a lot of stuff left over. That's where Tyrone Moving came in. When everyone else told me that they could do the in two weeks, Tyrone Moving got started just about the same day I called him. They worked night and day to have the house cleaned out. They even swept up and cleaned as they went along! They took photos and a movie. They asked me what else they could do to help me. Heroic? Yes. They arrived as soon as they could, they worked night and day until the job was done. They stayed under my budget. When someone is there when you need them and they go all out for you, I call that heroic. I gave them six stars. Thank you, Tyrone Moving. You are the Pros."

"The team at packNmove we're extremely professional, beyond respectful and quick! The two young men where very mindful of not banging into the walls nor scratching or breaking my heavy items. Went above and beyond to take the basement door off to remove the washer, to eliminate damage. But also put it back on without being asked! They came on time, assessed the situation made an efficient plan. also they might have gone over the two hours I paid for, but they finished the job!!! I appreciated that there boss didn't charge additional but I definitely tipped them well for the extra minutes! All in all If I ever have to move again packNmove is my 1st call! Keep working hard young men ?!"

"Miller and his colleagues were able to do a lot of things quickly. Along with everything else, they also grabbed some old furniture that I needed help moving to the curb. They took several cares to make sure nothing was damaged during the move, including wrapping the furniture, turning off all the lights, and packaging the picture frames."

Garbage Collection FAQs, answered by experts

Never put glass in the garbage disposal. It can damage your disposal or eject shards of glass out of the disposal and cause injury. If you get broken glass in your garbage disposal, turn it off and cut the power from the breaker, use a tool like pliers or tongs to remove the glass, and use a wet-dry vacuum to remove the remaining glass pieces. If you can’t access the disposal safely, call a garbage disposal repair pro.

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.

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.

As with many appliances, proper maintenance is key to maximizing your garbage disposal’s life span. If everyone in your household is on board with proper care and maintenance, like running water while operating the disposal, you should get plenty of years out of your unit. Avoid putting the wrong food items down the disposal, including pasta, rice, bread, and more.
