"Incredibly friendly and professional. I explained in great detail what I needed, and they gave me a quote that we agreed upon. They arrived exactly when they said they'd be here, and it turned out after they started that they needed one extra load than planned. They came back and did the extra load at no extra charge to make sure they honored their quote. I was very impressed with their service and will definitely be using them again."
"I own a non profit and JunkLuggers assisted me with moving as well as recycling furniture that helped furnish our office. They were professional, relatable, and knowledgeable about the move."
"I recently worked with Ridgeview Property Services after purchasing a property where the previous owner left everything behind — personal belongings, appliances, refrigerator, trash, and even hazardous materials. The situation could have easily been overwhelming, but their team handled it professionally from start to finish.
They set clear timelines, communicated expectations upfront, and completed the clean-out exactly as promised. They removed all personal effects, appliances, toxic materials, and debris efficiently and thoroughly.
What impressed me most was their integrity — after the job was completed, they actually lowered the invoice because they felt they had over-quoted. That level of honesty is rare.
I would absolutely use Ridgeview Property Services again for future estate purchases or any major property clean-out. Highly recommend."
"I had a great experience! They came out to remove a bunch of junk and waste from my house. They made the whole process really easy and stress free. The team was friendly, professional, and worked quickly. Everything was taken care of without any hassle. I will definitely use then again. Highly recommend"
"I highly recommend Jorge and his team. I received a printed quotation and a quote for a very reasonable price. My wife even mentioned how nice the tree cleanup looked when completed. They assisted me in a big job of 3 trees being cleaned up after they were on the ground. Used a big chipper and multiple chainsaws to cut the trunks into pieces. Highly recommended. Thank you Jorge!"

Once you have your garbage disposal disconnected, you can remove the mounting bracket by unscrewing the bolts that are holding the bracket. You can back them out just enough to pop off the snap ring, which prevents the bottom portion of the bracket from disconnecting from the top when you unscrew the bolts. Use a regular screwdriver to pop off the snap ring, and the rest of the components should fall off by themselves.
Whether it's worth repairing your garbage disposal depends on its age and the specific problem. Generally, if the unit is eight years old or younger, repair is a good option. For minor issues like a bad seal or a simple jam, a repair can be inexpensive, sometimes under $10. However, if the motor is broken (a repair that can cost $150 or more) or the unit is getting old, it's often more cost-effective to replace the entire disposal.
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.
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.
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.
