"It went very well. They did a real good job finding and repairing leaks in my roof, replacing defective gutters and downspouts. They then did a project to add drainage pipes front and rear. Reshaped the land and brought in topsoil to ensure that water runs away from the house instead of into it. I am very pleased and am hiring them to do additional projects.

Waste Removal Services questions, answered by experts

Yes, you can throw furniture in a dumpster. Wood items like tables, chairs, and bookshelves are generally acceptable. Upholstered furniture is also allowed in many areas, but it’s smart to check with your local waste authority or dumpster provider. Some locations restrict certain materials or charge extra fees, so a quick call can save you from a costly mistake.

This depends on where you live, but in most cases, it goes in the trash rather than your household recycling since it contains toxic chemicals that standard recycling centers cannot dispose of safely. Some designated recycling centers will take it if they have the necessary equipment to break it down. The manufacturer may offer a recycling program with a designated drop-off site as well. 

It is OK to pour boiling water down a garbage disposal as it can help flush out any build-up or waste. If you pour baking soda and white vinegar down the drain first and flush it with boiling water, the combination often dissolves a grease or oil clog. 

In most cases, the money you’ll spend on concrete disposal is well worth the investment. Concrete is heavy and often bulky, so moving it manually can be dangerous and time-consuming. A professional disposal company will have equipment and machinery to expedite the process and keep everyone safe in the process. Additionally, some companies can save you some money on dumping fees if they work with other entities that take recycled concrete.

When you move to a new area, check your new city's Department of Sanitation or local municipal website for more information. The site will clarify who picks up garbage in your area, how to arrange service, and your designated pickup day. You will also find instructions for purchasing the proper bins and bags for collection.
