"Short Version: When literally every other company said 'no' or never responded, Careful Moves was the only one who not only called me back, they said "yes," every time I called. First job: "Can you move my mom from one assisted living facility to another?" "Yes, we can!" Took a while to get a bed apart, but they got it done. I called again, "Hi, can you help me move a huge sofa out of the room and help me lay down a carpet? Everyone else said no." Their answer: "Yes, we can!" Called them AGAIN, third time "Hi, can you help move a refrigerator and oven from one level to another in my house?" Answer: "Hey, we're Ameri-CANS, not Ameri-CAN"Ts." (Best answer I've ever gotten). Fourth call: "Hi, I want to donate the refrigerator you moved out of my kitchen. Can you come get it and take it where it needs to go?" Answer: "We are the Ameri-Cans." They have literally saved me several times already when I didn't know what I was going to do. They are now saved in my contact list on my phone, because I wouldn't call anyone else."

"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."

Garbage Collection FAQs, answered by experts

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.

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. 

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. 

These appliances certainly increase the number of things allowed down the drain, but they’re not foolproof. There are several items you shouldn’t put in your garbage disposal, according to manufacturers and technicians. Don’t put coffee grounds down the drain. The same goes for eggshells, potato peels, hard foods, onion skins, and any dry, expandable food. Most importantly, never put grease or oils down the drain.

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.
