You put your garbage out. Your garbage gets picked up. With most waste collection, disposal and recycling companies, the job ends there. Not with Advanced Disposal. We provide residential solid waste and recycling services to thousands of families and neighborhoods every day. But we take more than garbage.

"My wife and I moved from altoona pa in nov.2017. We used scarangella disposal for our trash pickup. Our account was paid for 1yr.and was good through feb.2018. Scarangella wants you as a customer to be paid at least two months in advance. So when we moved we thought a refund was due. No,when you stop services they want to keep your money. Seems like a win-win for them. We made numerous phone calls and sent a letter to John scarangella but he chose not to respond back. Scarangella's answering machine was the only communication we had with this company. It was sometime in feb. 2018 john scarangella did call us and stated that he had sent a $61.00 check. Since we had not received it John said he would look into the status of the check. We have not had any communication with him since and we have yet to recieve any check as of this date. We contacted the better business Bureau to let them know of his company's actions. Scarangella did not get back to them either. A friend back in altoona even tried to contact scarangella to try and find out why he chose not to send a check or correspond with us which did not get any results. It is really sad that a company is able to exist when treating people this way. If John thinks this is ok which he seems to, he is one sad individual. How many other people has he treated this way (stole their money)? The bottom line is do not use scarangella disposal. NO professionalism with this company whatso ever. When you as a customer have a concern or cut services that is not in scarangella's favor they will cut off communication and will keep your money. Always contact the better business Bureau , angies list and check all reviews before using any company for its services.beware of scarangella disposal unless you want to be trashed.

Garbage Collection questions, answered by experts

There are many maintenance and repair issues that lead to a malfunctioning garbage disposal. Regular clogs place wear and tear on the motors, leading to an eventual shutdown. Electrical issues at the breaker, wall outlet, or disposal itself can fry the unit. The most common cause is simply a worn-down motor. These motors can only handle so much use before powering down for good. 

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.

Once you have your garbage disposal disconnected, you can remove the mounting bracket by unscrewing the bolts that are holding the bracket. You can back them out just enough to pop off the snap ring, which prevents the bottom portion of the bracket from disconnecting from the top when you unscrew the bolts. Use a regular screwdriver to pop off the snap ring, and the rest of the components should fall off by themselves.

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’t last 10 or more years, but you should be able to get a minimum of five years at least, even under heavy usage. 

If you cook a lot or have a larger household, a garbage disposal can be worth it, since it streamlines your kitchen duties and helps to keep food waste out of landfills. It helps to know the cost of garbage disposal installation before you make your decision. The average price is about $400, but you can expect to pay more for higher-end models or if you hire a pro to do the job for you.
