We didn’t start Junk by Johnson because garages are messy. We started it because we know how much better life feels when your home finally gives you room to breathe.\n\nLike many families, we’ve seen how quickly a garage can fill with boxes, old furniture, seasonal items, and things you keep meaning to organize. Eventually, a space meant to serve your family becomes a space you avoid.\n\nWe believed local families deserved an affordable, dependable way to reclaim that space—without judgment, pressure, or overpriced service.\n\nJunk by Johnson is a local, family-run company specializing in garage cleanouts, organization, and final cleanup. We treat every home with the same care and respect we would expect for our own family.\n\nAs we grow, we’re offering competitive introductory pricing while we earn the trust of our community—one clean garage and one satisfied neighbor at a time.\n\nSend us your ZIP code and a few photos for a fast quote.

Garbage Collection questions, answered by experts

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.

The main issue with garbage disposals is clogging. This can mean a clogging of the pipes that expel the food along with water, or a clogging of the mechanical parts themselves. The problem lies in the solution because you can’t easily see clogs if they’re inside the system, and reaching in to dislodge stuck items is a risky proposal. Call a pro and ask what they would do, but if you can’t see the clog easily, and running the unit won’t free it, you need to let a professional handle the fix. 

Replacing a garbage disposal costs anywhere from $150 to $950, but the average cost is somewhere around $550. There are two types of garbage disposal units, and continuous feed disposals tend to cost more than batch feed disposals. Going for an aluminum garbage disposal is also significantly cheaper than choosing a stainless steel garbage disposal. You'll also need to factor in the horsepower of the motor, labor, and the removal and disposal of your old unit.

It’s one thing that helps, alongside vinegar and baking soda. Ice acts as an exfoliant, helping to lift off any bits of food stuck on the disposal blades.

While unplugging your garbage disposal and plugging it back in may help, most units have an actual reset button, a bright red switch found on the underside of your unit. If your garbage disposal needs resetting, you may notice this button sticking out about a quarter of an inch from the surface of the unit, with which it’s usually flush. Simply depress this reset button to reset the unit, and then test to ensure it’s working about 10 minutes later.
