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.

"The folks at One's Junk are fantastic - professional and reliable.  They helped me and my brother when we were in a real bind and we will be eternally grateful.  I highly recommend them.



My brother and I were clearing out our mom's house as it had been sold. The sale was scheduled to close the next day.  Salvation Army had let us down more than once in terms of picking up all furniture for donation (e.g., they failed to show up one day and arrived another day with not enough space in their truck to take all the donated furniture - despite our having provided a detailed inventory of items for pick up).  In any event, it was the evening before the sale of the house closed and we were stuck.  We found One's Junk on Angie's List and called them in the off-chance they could pick up the remaining furniture that evening.  We called them around 5pm and One's Junk said they could be there within the hour.  Gregory showed up as scheduled and removed all remaining furniture.  He was done within 1.5 hours.

Garbage Removal questions, answered by experts

While unplugging your garbage disposal and plugging it back in may help, most units have an actual reset button, a bright red switch found on the underside of your unit. If your garbage disposal needs resetting, you may notice this button sticking out about a quarter of an inch from the surface of the unit, with which it’s usually flush. Simply depress this reset button to reset the unit, and then test to ensure it’s working about 10 minutes later.

While the drain connection for a garbage disposal is nearly universal and fits standard sink drain holes of 3 1/2 to 4 inches, the size of the disposal unit itself is not. You must have enough space in the cabinet underneath your sink to accommodate the disposal's housing. A larger model may not fit in a compact cabinet or if the existing plumbing is arranged in an unusual way. Before buying a new garbage disposal, measure the available space under your sink. If you are replacing an old unit, it's often easiest to choose a new model of a similar size.

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. 

On average, a garbage disposal can last anywhere from 7 to 12 years, with many models functioning well for about 10 years. With heavy usage, a motor may last a minimum of five years, while grinding plates will wear down over time. It's generally a good idea to consider a replacement if your unit is approaching the 10-year mark. Other signs that it's time for a new disposal include frequent leaks, persistent clogs, lingering odors, lack of power, or unusual noises. If your unit is not that old, it's worth investigating if a less expensive part, like a rubber seal or a loose hose, is causing the issue.

The most common garbage disposal size in the U.S. is 1/2 horsepower. This size is ideal for households with three or fewer people or those that don't produce much food waste. Although 1/2 horsepower can't handle the typical food waste load for a household of four (which is about 250 pounds of food waste annually) as effectively as 3/4 horsepower, it remains the most common size of garbage disposal on the market.
