"We had two sofas and a hassock to remove. Seeing that they were not “Junk”, they carefully brought them downstairs and carefully put them into truck using my old sheets to keep them clean and separated from the junk in the truck. Hope someone can use or sell them - or it might be a nice Christmas present for these great guys!!! They were on time, very efficient and friendly. (They need another category for “furniture removal”) "

"The whole process was great. My first interaction was with Larry in sales, he was very professional and very knowledgeable. After I placed the order we got a phone call the day before confining the appointment (10-12) and Nelson - the installer - showed up in the agreed timeline. He completed the installation AND set up a couple of additional remote controls (he even helped set up my car "remote control"). The service was excellent all along the process. we are very pleased with the process AND the result."

Trash N Dash is Greater Houston’s friendliest and best priced junk removal service. We offer attic & garage clean outs, hot tub removals, and light demolition of storage sheds, decks and fences. As leading Junk Removal professionals in the industry we offer free estimates, upfront pricing and some of the lowest minimums in town. Our service area currently includes Houston and its surrounding suburbs including but not limited to Baytown, Bellaire, Conroe, Deer Park, Friendswood, Galena Park, Highlands, Humble, Jacinto City, Katy, League City, Missouri City, Pasadena, Pearland, Porter, Spring, Stafford, The Woodlands, Kingwood, Atascocita, Seabrook, Cypress, Sugarland and Alief. If your area was not mentioned, please feel free to gives a call! WE ARE INSURED. We are also accredited by the BETTER BUSINESS BUREAU and hold an A rating. Please feel free to check out our reviews anywhere on the web, they' re great! At Trash N Dash we don’t just talk trash we back it up with the best possible service to all of our customers. Our goal is to ensure that every customer is more than satisfied with our service so that they will always think of Trash N Dash in the future.

"Do not use this service!!! We hired them to remove a desk and two bookshelves when we were moving out of our apartment. When we went into the backyard for a moment to grab something, we returned in the house to find they had thrown out four antique chairs belonging to our landlord which they were explicitly told not to take. On top of that, they broke the chairs immediately to throw in the truck so they were completely unsalvageable. When we talked to the managers about it, their stated policy is that they will only reimburse items they destroy by mistake if you are standing there watching them do it, you tell them not to destroy the item, and they refuse to stop. They also insisted we were lying about telling them to not take the chairs, and because Trash N Dash does not give you any paperwork or contract we apparently have no recourse. Not only are we now being charged hundreds of dollars for these antique chairs by our landlord but Trash N Dash left broken glass and sharp screws in our driveway when they left that we had to clean up. Ultimately, Trash N Dash is extremely unprofessional and has cost us a lot of money."

"3 Men Movers moved my small house of 1100sq. ft and did an ok job. They did however break my washing maching in the move and my floor was covered in water in my brand new house on the first start-up. I tried to do a claim but my $850 washing machine is only covered at $.60/lb and at 125lbs the washing maching is worth to them about $75 and would cost $500 to fix it. I do NOT recommend these movers as they don't speak english and do NOT care about the move. They will also try and extend as much time for more money as possible. "

Garbage Collection questions, answered by experts

Garbage disposals last an average of about 10 years, so it may be time for a new model if it's getting up there in age. Other signs that it's time to bring in a local garbage disposal pro include:

  • Leaks under your disposal

  • Persistent clogs

  • Lingering odors

  • Lack of power

  • Unexplained noises

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.

In some cases, it’s more cost-effective in the long run to replace a garbage disposal, but it depends on the specific issue you’re having and the age of your disposal. You should ask a garbage disposal repair tech for a quote to repair your appliance and then see if it would be more worthwhile to replace it. Additionally, garbage disposals last for around 15 years, so if you know your appliance is reaching that age, it’s likely better to pay for a new garbage disposal rather than sink money into repairs.

It’s one thing that helps, alongside vinegar and baking soda. Ice acts as an exfoliant, helping to lift off any bits of food stuck on the disposal blades.

There are many maintenance and repair issues that lead to a malfunctioning garbage disposal. Regular clogs place wear and tear on the motors, leading to an eventual shutdown. Electrical issues at the breaker, wall outlet, or disposal itself can fry the unit. The most common cause is simply a worn-down motor. These motors can only handle so much use before powering down for good.
