I am a 35-year-old entrepreneur managing three distinct businesses focused on the transportation of goods and materials, including scrap metal, pipe and other valuable items. With over a decade and a half of experience in junk removal and hauling, my team and I are well-equipped to handle a variety of tasks.\n\nWe operate more than five trucks, five 40-foot gooseneck trailers (capable of hauling loads up to 15,000 lbs), and a 26-foot enclosed trailer designed to protect valuables from environmental debris.\n\nOur services offer quick, affordable junk removal for both residential and commercial clients. Whether it's a single-item pickup or a comprehensive property cleanout, our dedicated team is prepared to handle your unwanted items, ensuring they are either donated, recycled, or disposed of correctly.\n\nFrom humble beginnings as a one-truck side hustle to a thriving multi-truck operation, we've learned that timeliness and delivering honest, reliable service are the cornerstone of success.

Garbage Collection questions, answered by experts

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.

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.

Garbage disposals can be considered bad for the environment due to their electricity usage, but good for the environment because they reduce the food waste sent to landfills. If everyone used a garbage disposal, it would tax the wastewater treatment facilities in that region, but if we had to choose one of the options, we’d say they are a net positive on the environment when used correctly. 

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.

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.
