"We needed to have a large two sink cement basin in our basement removed. Two young gentlemen came in and removed it themselves. Needless to say, the sink weighed 250-300 lbs! It was a struggle, but they did it. I will be calling them back if we have something we can't do, but they can. Highly recommend this business."

"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."

"overall my experience with Pack’ N’ Move was a 10/10. Thaj and the crew were so helpful and flexible when it came to working around my schedule. When handling my items they were fast efficient and careful with each and every item. They were very respectful of my belongings and guided me through everything they were doing the entire move. I would hire them again and i would recommend them to anyone in need of moving help! Thank you Thaj and crew!"

Garbage Removal FAQs, answered by experts

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.

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.

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.

Most garbage disposals have a reset button that can be triggered with a tool as simple and accessible as your index finger. That said, if you need to perform a more in-depth troubleshooting step, like manually moving the arms inside the unit or rotating the impeller plate, a hex wrench is the most common tool you’ll need. Most garbage disposals come with a hex wrench.

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.
