"We had to call Rubbish Rescue & Relief LLC for a very difficult biohazard situation in one of our Airbnb units while we were out of the country on spring break, and they were outstanding from start to finish. Communication with Harvey was prompt, clear, and professional, which gave us real peace of mind even from a distance. They followed through on everything they promised, including using smoke eliminator cleaning throughout the unit, disinfecting floors, chairs, and tables, wiping down all woodwork and surfaces, applying carpet odor eliminator treatment, and safely collecting and boxing all needles for proper disposal. They also ensured all doors and windows were secured before leaving. The unit was left clean, disinfected, and in a safe condition. I highly recommend Rubbish Rescue & Relief LLC and would absolutely use them again."

"They did a really good job. They were super professional and made sure to clean as good as they could. It took a bit longer than expected which is why it isn?t a 5 star, but even though it took a bit longer, it looks amazing. Would totally book again"

"Paul (and his lovely wife) did a great job! Their turnaround time was so fast! They arrived on time, were professional, courteous, and worked incredibly efficiently. The entire process was easy from start to finish with unbeatable pricing. It made a huge difference in preparing my home, and I couldn't be happier with the service. I would absolutely recommend them to anyone looking for reliable, hardworking professionals. Thank you so much and I will definitely be using them again!"

Garbage Collection questions, answered by experts

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.

Garbage disposals are durable appliances that usually last at least eight years as long as you clean and maintain them. It’s relatively rare for a garbage disposal to break on its own, as most malfunctions happen due to user errors, like overstuffing the grinding compartment or damaging the blades by trying to dispose of metal or bone. Eventually, cracks or leaks could develop in the unit, which requires a full replacement. 

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. 

While the drain connection for a garbage disposal is nearly universal and fits standard sink drain holes of 3 1/2 to 4 inches, the size of the disposal unit itself is not. You must have enough space in the cabinet underneath your sink to accommodate the disposal's housing. A larger model may not fit in a compact cabinet or if the existing plumbing is arranged in an unusual way. Before buying a new garbage disposal, measure the available space under your sink. If you are replacing an old unit, it's often easiest to choose a new model of a similar size.

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.
