"Chris and his team did an excellent job in hauling away our yard waste. I called on a Monday and they were here on Tuesday. We HIGHLY recommend them! It was a blistering hot and humid morning and they filled a trailer that was at least 20’ long 10’ wide and 6-7’ high. GREAT GREAT JOB!"

"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."

"We could no longer do our own yard work. The thing I appreciated is how fast Z&W responed to our message and came and gave us an estimate of what we would be paying for the landscaping. The estimate wa reasonable. They do good work and they are easy to deal with. I also like the fact they are trustworthy and show up on time. Keep up the good work Z&W."

Garbage Collection questions, answered by experts

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.

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.

Replacing a garbage disposal costs anywhere from $150 to $950, but the average cost is somewhere around $550. There are two types of garbage disposal units, and continuous feed disposals tend to cost more than batch feed disposals. Going for an aluminum garbage disposal is also significantly cheaper than choosing a stainless steel garbage disposal. You'll also need to factor in the horsepower of the motor, labor, and the removal and disposal of your old unit.

The two main negatives of garbage disposals are they are a safety hazard in homes with children, and they frequently encounter blockage issues. While they might be annoying to fix and monitor, garbage disposals can significantly lower your trash use and are a great way to dispose of organic waste. While there are negatives, the vast majority of homeowners acknowledge the positives are enough to install a disposal in their home. 

No, you do not need a garbage disposal to have a dishwasher. A dishwasher will work without one, and while it's rare to see a home with a dishwasher that doesn't have a disposal, it is possible. The two appliances pair well and are often installed together because a disposal simplifies meal cleanup.

However, your dishwasher should not be used as a replacement for a garbage disposal. Subjecting it to continuous food leftovers can lead to major clogs. If you choose not to install a garbage disposal, you should thoroughly rinse your plates or scrape excess food into the trash or a compost pile before loading them into the dishwasher to prevent plumbing issues.
