Been in business since 2000. We offer weekly residential service as well as dumpsters. Dumpsters are great for new construction, remodeling, and cleanup at your home or office.

"Edit: Because of my review, I received a phone call from K&K. I was told they have “picture evidence” our road was closed this past Monday, in which I explained the whole road wasn’t closed just one lane. I went in & out 4 times. She quickly said, “Our trucks were too big.” I then explained tree trucks that are bigger than their garbage truck made it through Monday. She also explained they have “picture evidence” our can wasn’t out the prior Monday. I did not explain it was because we were out of town. UNBELIEVABLE! She then asked if I wanted to set our last pick up so they could come get our can. Again UNBELIEVABLE! I told her I would let her know. Have been a customer for many years. Lately service has been terrible! I understand staffing issues and equipment issues, but customers have paid for a service. I am never notified of possible missed pick up. I have to call them. Usually I am told to put any extra garbage out the following Monday & they will pick it up. Well…garbage cans are running over & animals get into the “extra” bags strewing it all over. Never have I been reimbursed for multiple missed pick ups. Will be searching for new, better & reliable service."

Garbage Collection questions, answered by experts

Garbage disposals last an average of seven years but can function well past 10 years. However, as time goes on and more food is ground, the grinding plates will slowly lose their edge and need replacing. A motor likely won’t last 10 or more years, but you should be able to get a minimum of five years at least, even under heavy usage. 

Regular maintenance, such as not disposing of grease or coffee grounds down the sink and routine use of strainers, can prevent clogs.

The main issue with garbage disposals is clogging. This can mean a clogging of the pipes that expel the food along with water, or a clogging of the mechanical parts themselves. The problem lies in the solution because you can’t easily see clogs if they’re inside the system, and reaching in to dislodge stuck items is a risky proposal. Call a pro and ask what they would do, but if you can’t see the clog easily, and running the unit won’t free it, you need to let a professional handle the fix. 

These appliances do unscrew, but you need to disconnect everything properly when you replace your garbage disposal. Make sure you shut the power off to the area first and check that it’s off with a voltage detector. Disconnect the main drain line and P-trap, and then disconnect the dishwasher drain line if you have one connected. You can then unscrew your garbage disposal using a disposal wrench. Just make sure you disconnect the electrical lines before removing your appliance.

Generally speaking, it’s absolutely worth it to repair a garbage disposal, so long as it’s eight years old or younger. Once you pass that eight-year threshold, it depends on the issue. If it’s a simple jam and the core components remain unaffected, call a local plumber for a quick repair. If it seems like the motor is wearing down, spring for a replacement unit.
