"Miller and his colleagues were able to do a lot of things quickly. Along with everything else, they also grabbed some old furniture that I needed help moving to the curb. They took several cares to make sure nothing was damaged during the move, including wrapping the furniture, turning off all the lights, and packaging the picture frames."

Hi! I'm Scott. I'm a 41 year old husband, Christian, and father of 4 beautiful daughters. I own and operate Zephyr Signs and Apparel, Flow & Grow Aquatics and Leaf Healthy Microgreens. I have always been a jack of all trades, fixing, remodeling, mechanical, plumbing, electrical, flooring, lighting, organization, property maintenance, landscaping. You name it, I do it. I even service and maintain fish tanks and gardens!\n\nI live near South Fork just outside of the city of Johnstown PA. I'm dependable, trustworthy, knowledgeable, and I'll be the first person to tell you I can't do a job if I'm not 100% sure of myself. \n\nI'm also great with decorating, cleaning up after pets, home interiors, fixing appliances, automotive work and much more. And with 4 mini Schnauzers I could probably even help out with some dog training 😂😂😂\n\nGet in touch today and you'll make a friend if nothing else. \n\nIt'll get fixed when you get "Around To It" 💪

Garbage Collection questions, answered by experts

Continuous feed garbage disposals are the favorite model for many homeowners for a reason. As opposed to batch feed models, add food scraps to the drain whenever the disposal is running. This variety is also typically less expensive, more convenient, and easier to clean.

The most common garbage disposal size in the U.S. is 1/2 horsepower. This size is ideal for households with three or fewer people or those that don't produce much food waste. Although 1/2 horsepower can't handle the typical food waste load for a household of four (which is about 250 pounds of food waste annually) as effectively as 3/4 horsepower, it remains the most common size of garbage disposal on the market.

These appliances do unscrew, but you need to disconnect everything properly when you replace your garbage disposal. 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.

Garbage disposals can be considered bad for the environment due to their electricity usage, but good for the environment because they reduce the food waste sent to landfills. If everyone used a garbage disposal, it would tax the wastewater treatment facilities in that region, but if we had to choose one of the options, we’d say they are a net positive on the environment when used correctly. 

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.
