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

Your garbage disposal will only affect the health of your septic tank if you’re using it too frequently, or filling it with organic waste that doesn’t fully break down. If the tank fills up with too many solids, the bacteria won’t have enough time to consume it before more is added, which can lead to an overflow in the drain field. Your tank will need to be pumped more frequently with excessive or improper garbage disposal use.

To prevent drain clogs, perform regular maintenance and cleaning. Avoid disposing of substances like grease or coffee grounds down the sink. Additionally, installing and routinely using drain strainers can help catch debris and prevent blockages from forming.

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.

In some cases, it’s more cost-effective in the long run to replace a garbage disposal, but it depends on the specific issue you’re having and the age of your disposal. You should ask a garbage disposal repair tech for a quote to repair your appliance and then see if it would be more worthwhile to replace it. Additionally, garbage disposals last for around 15 years, so if you know your appliance is reaching that age, it’s likely better to pay for a new garbage disposal rather than sink money into repairs.

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.
