Do garbage disposals unscrew?

• <div><p>These appliances do unscrew, but you need to disconnect everything properly <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/garbage-disposal-repair-and-replacement.htm">when you replace your garbage disposal</a>. 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.</p></div>

Q: What tool is used to reset a garbage disposal?

• <div><p>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&rsquo;ll need. Most garbage disposals come with a hex wrench.</p></div>

Q: What is the average life span of a garbage disposal?

• <div><p>Garbage disposals last an average of seven years but can function well past 10 years. However, as time goes on and more food is ground, the grinding plates will slowly lose their edge and need replacing. A motor likely won&rsquo;t last 10 or more years, but you should be able to get a minimum of five years at least, even under heavy usage. </p></div>

Q: Is it worth it to repair a garbage disposal?

• <div><p>Whether you choose to repair your garbage disposal will depend on the problem. For minor issues like a bad seal, you can fix the unit for less than $10. If the motor unit is broken, which can easily cost $150, you may want to consider replacing the entire disposal if it&rsquo;s getting on in years. </p></div>

Q: Can you pour boiling water down the garbage disposal?

• <div><p>You can pour boiling water down the garbage disposal only when cleaning it. Use hot water to flush baking soda and vinegar down the drain for a quick clean-up. For running food down the disposal, always use cold water.</p></div>

I love these guys! They are prompt, clean, and responsive to my needs. I have rented, in the past, a dumpster from them and plan to do so in the future.

Service was phenomenal. I thought my clutter was going to be around forever until Nate showed up. Outstanding communication, more than fair pricing, and a job well done by Nate’s Dumpster Service. Would recommend.

They rent out one recycling bin and one garbage bin both are large and have wheels. I can fit 7 kitchen bags in the canister. They come once per week around 3 am to pick up garbage and recycle. If I have a large item they will remove and bill me an extra fee.

This is a type of business that calls its customer a liar and thief. Who does that? I had a every other week pick up service with them simply because we don't produce that much garbage for every week pick up. We barely fill the trash can in two weeks. However, when they failed to pick up the...

They took all of my yard sale items, which were not with my garbage, and were all like new. They were destroyed in the truck. I had to call numerous times, and the owner was unwilling to make it right. Horrible company, and I would strongly recommend avoiding their services.

We chose casella for a 2yd dumpster monthly pickup. They are the only place to offer it around us. We have had them for nearly 5 years. In that time the amount of missed pick ups was just crazy. At one point our garbage didnt get picked up for 2 months! the driver would consistently mark ours as...

We called Morgan's Waste because we were going to get a large dumpster when we moved in and we talked to the guy and he talked us into a smaller plastic wheel thing, he told us that he didn't think we really need one and he was correct. He talked us out of it which was good, we saved some...
