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

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. 

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.

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.

Generally speaking, it’s absolutely worth it to repair a garbage disposal, so long as it’s eight years old or younger. Once you pass that eight-year threshold, it depends on the issue. If it’s a simple jam and the core components remain unaffected, call a local plumber for a quick repair. If it seems like the motor is wearing down, spring for a replacement unit. 

Garbage disposals fit the drains of nearly every sink out there due to universal drain hole sizes of 3 1/2 to 4 inches, but the same isn’t true for the housing underneath the sink. You need plenty of room to fit a garbage disposal under there, so measure the space ahead of time and use those dimensions when shopping for a new model. If you’re replacing an existing model, get one in that size.
