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

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.

Never put glass in the garbage disposal. It can damage your disposal or eject shards of glass out of the disposal and cause injury. If you get broken glass in your garbage disposal, turn it off and cut the power from the breaker, use a tool like pliers or tongs to remove the glass, and use a wet-dry vacuum to remove the remaining glass pieces. If you can’t access the disposal safely, call a garbage disposal repair pro.

You can pour boiling water down the garbage disposal only when cleaning it. Use hot water to flush baking soda and vinegar down the drain for a quick clean-up. For running food down the disposal, always use cold water.

Many homeowners wonder if a garbage disposal is necessary with a dishwasher. After all, many dishwashers are powerful enough to handle bits of food with no issues.  

Still, your dishwasher should not act as a replacement for a disposal. Subjecting your dishwasher to continuous leftovers could lead to major clogs. If you don’t want a garbage disposal in your kitchen, simply scrape away any extra food into your trash can or compost pile.

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.
