"This company was just awesome. Everyone was so nice and professional through out the whole process. The owner inspected the water heater and sent his repairman Scott out to repair it. My work schedule is hectic but they worked with my schedule and had it installed on my day off. I did not see very many reviews for this company but please dont let that deter you from using them. I would definitely recommend them to people I know. Thank you Chris, Scott and Tate."

"It was a pleasure to work with Jim and Carol from the beginning of this project until the end. They are knowledgeable, efficient, and just down right nice people. The installers were on time and the countertops look great. A few weeks after my install, I found out I needed to have larger holes drilled in to my jacuzzi tub for the installation of some new plumbing fixtures. I was informed by the plumbers that they do not perform this service and I would need to call a granite company. I called Granite 4 Less to gather information on how to go about accomplishing this and within 4 hours the installers had stopped by my house and done the job for me. I was lucky they were working in Collierville that day. I really appreciate the extra effort Granite 4 Less made to help me finish this bathroom project."

Install Garbage Disposal questions, answered by experts

These appliances certainly increase the number of things allowed down the drain, but they’re not foolproof. There are several items you shouldn’t put in your garbage disposal, according to manufacturers and technicians. Don’t put coffee grounds down the drain. The same goes for eggshells, potato peels, hard foods, onion skins, and any dry, expandable food. Most importantly, never put grease or oils down the drain.

As with many appliances, proper maintenance is key to maximizing your garbage disposal’s life span. If everyone in your household is on board with proper care and maintenance, like running water while operating the disposal, you should get plenty of years out of your unit. Avoid putting the wrong food items down the disposal, including pasta, rice, bread, and more.

Soil is just one of the items you shouldn't put down a garbage disposal. Garbage disposals are only meant for soft, non-fibrous foods. Large amounts of topsoil, dirt, or rocks will damage the blades of your garbage disposal or clog the pipes. If a small amount of dirt goes down the drain as you repot a plant, you shouldn't have to worry, but never dump a whole pot of soil in the sink for fast disposal.

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.

Your garbage disposal will only affect the health of your septic tank if you’re using it too frequently, or filling it with organic waste that doesn’t fully break down. If the tank fills up with too many solids, the bacteria won’t have enough time to consume it before more is added, which can lead to an overflow in the drain field. Your tank will need to be pumped more frequently with excessive or improper garbage disposal use.
