"For about a year and a half i have had trash (broken appliances, 60inch projector TV, washer and dryer and 2 broken couches along with mattress, box spring and various wood) that took up my whole downstairs and garage. Due to working 3 jobs and money, I was looking for the most cost and time efficient way to discard all this trash so i can start working on renovating my downstairs. I remember i had used 1800-Got-Junk for just wood and trash in my garage and it costed me over 300.00. I knew it would've been double that if i used them.Also, they had a ton of restrictions on what i could and could not dump ( I couldn't get rid of my TV) So i researched for about 6 months, comparing companies, their services, costs and the time i would need to do this all. I decided to look on Anges List. I came across the profile for Call 2 Haul. Now, my major issue was the appliances and the 60 inch projector TV. The cost to dump the projector TV itself was a bill, and worst I had no truck to get it there so I would have to rent one, which right there was 100.00 (not including mileage). I called Call 2 Haul. First the customer service was great. I expressed my concerns. Within the next couple days i had someone in my home to give me a proper estimate. I was told the dumpster I would need and the exact amount INCLUDING taxes. It was all UPFRONT. Which helped with my budget. The gentleman gave me options, he told me one fee with me getting rid of the garbage myself and also gave me the price of his men doing all the work. What I liked is that he did not try to take advantage of me. He told me upfront it would cost less if I had help ( I have 2 healthy teenagers that I knew could help) and did it myself. That to me showed honesty and integrity, which is EXTREMELY rare these days. I appreciated that. I did not hire them right away only because I would not have the money until a couple of weeks. But once i got the money, I contacted them right away. They were so flexible and said they could come out as soon as possible. I scheduled them to come to my home in a week. I asked that they come on Friday. Due to their schedule, they were not sure what time of the day they were able to come. So out of convenience to me, because they wanted to make sure I had it for the day I asked for, they dropped off the dumpster the day before on a Thursday. Because of them doing that, I was actually able to dump everything Thursday evening. Because of this, I am now able to focus on starting my renovation this weekend instead of next. Once I was done, I called to let them know I was done. The next morning, the dumpster was picked up. Withing 24 hours, the dumpster was delivered, filled up and taken out. They actually get rid of EVERYTHING and all the pricing is upfront. The best part is that you do not need to be home for them to drop off or pick up the dumpster (very convenient as I work so much) The convenience and the pricing for their service CAN NOT BE BEAT! I am so thankful. As a single mom that works 3 jobs, the service was everything i needed and then some. I will ABSOLUTELY be using them again and have recommend them to a few of my neighbors that are doing some spring cleaning. They are the best!"

"Tom, John and Eli arrived on time and worked professionally and efficiently to remove unwanted items and dispose of them as well as help transfer some other large items to another location for me. Prices were very reasonable and communication was excellent. I would definitely hire them again!"

Very Professional. Stephon is wonderful. Will hire him again for future hauling services! Really pleased with him and his helper. Glad he responded to my inquiry."

"Blake responded very quickly to the quote request and we were able to schedule the clean out within 24 hours of posting the request. We had scheduled a time but due to a unexpected emergency needed to postpone the same day which he did without delay. We were able to meet and complete the job in a very quick and efficient manner, he went as far as to make sure everything was cleaned and completed to my satisfaction. The quote he provided did not change and we were able to make the payment on the spot without any unexpected charges or fees. Blake was very professional along with his assistant to remove all of the unwanted items from the storage bin, and he even offered to help with taking the items reserved for donation to another location. I highly recommend Pa property solutions to anyone who is looking for responsible, reasonable, and respectful business from a highly efficient professional. Below is the result of clearing out a 15-ftx20-ft storage bin left behind by relative."

Garbage Collection questions, answered by experts

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.

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.

On average, it takes one to four hours for a professional to install a garbage disposal. This includes removing the old unit, taking necessary measurements for positioning, removing and fitting new pipes, and installing the brand-new disposal system. If there are unforeseen issues, such as accessibility concerns, the process takes longer.

Most garbage disposals have a reset button that can be triggered with a tool as simple and accessible as your index finger. That said, if you need to perform a more in-depth troubleshooting step, like manually moving the arms inside the unit or rotating the impeller plate, a hex wrench is the most common tool you’ll need. Most garbage disposals come with a hex wrench.

If the cost of repairing a leaking garbage disposal is close to the cost of replacing the disposal, then fixing the unit might not make sense. When deciding if you should repair or replace your garbage disposal, consider the age of your garbage disposal, the cost of the repair, and whether your garbage disposal has had other problems recently to help you decide if the cost of repairing the leak is better than the cost of replacing the disposal.
