Growing up, I spent a lot of time helping my grandmother and my aunt with miscellaneous tasks around their homes — moving things, cleaning up, hauling items, and taking care of the jobs that could become difficult or overwhelming. What always meant the most to me wasn’t just completing the work; it was seeing the relief, happiness, and appreciation on their faces when I was finished.\nThose experiences are a big part of why I started Clean Living Removal. I wanted to build a business where helping people actually means something.\nWe focus on 55+ communities because I know firsthand how much a helping hand can mean. Whether you’re downsizing, moving, cleaning out a home, or just have things that need to go, we’re here to make it easier and take some of the stress off your shoulders.\nMost importantly, we treat every customer the way I would want my own grandmother or aunt to be treated — with patience, respect, honesty, and genuine care.

"Short notice move, from apartment in Norfolk to Va Beach. Jeff was able to make it happen. Day of the move, Greg and Zack arrived on time, introduced themselves, surveyed the items to be moved and got started. Went real quick, one and a half hours after they arrived, they were leaving me in my new apartment. Quick, efficient service, they wrapped both TV's and handled everything with care. My new apartment manager was glad I was using Absolute Moving, she said she uses them for her own moving projects. Would use them again and recommend them for your moving needs. Michael M."

"We had two very old oak trees close to our home that needed to be removed because of bore beetle damage. We were concerned about the difficulty of removal because of how close they were to our house. Winston and his crew of five men, were amazing. The crew very carefully took both trees down starting in a bucket truck piece by piece, cleaning up everything as they went step by step. It was fascinating to watch. In speaking with the crew they reminded us of the "Barn Wood Builders" crew. They were so kind, thoughtful and attentive to our requests. I would hire them again in a minute. We thought their pricing was more than reasonable based on the size and location of the trees. The overall care they took in the removal was greatly appreciated. Also as an RN, safety is always a concern of mine, they all wore helmets, eye protection and had a protection line for the man in the bucket truck. The whole operation was top quality from start to finish."

Garbage Removal questions, answered by experts

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.

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.

No, you do not need a garbage disposal to have a dishwasher. A dishwasher will work without one, and while it's rare to see a home with a dishwasher that doesn't have a disposal, it is possible. The two appliances pair well and are often installed together because a disposal simplifies meal cleanup.

However, your dishwasher should not be used as a replacement for a garbage disposal. Subjecting it to continuous food leftovers can lead to major clogs. If you choose not to install a garbage disposal, you should thoroughly rinse your plates or scrape excess food into the trash or a compost pile before loading them into the dishwasher to prevent plumbing issues.

Your garbage disposal is not draining because it might have a clog due to food waste, a foreign object, grease, oil, fat, or it may have a broken motor. When water doesn't flush out of the disposal, that's a key sign that your disposal has a clog or needs repair.
