"I hired Aiden to essentially clean up an area of my backyard that had caught a lot of unnecessary articles in the past years. He is absolutely a great worker! And the job itself was completed within hours! This young man is professional and will be using him in the future! Very great job and he was affordable!"

"Christopher with G.M.P. got back to me promptly with an estimate based on the pictures, description, and his own observation. He set up a day/time quickly and he and his crew removed the construction debris. They were prompt and courteous and I will recommend using them."

"extremely well. Fast and no scratch or brake or damage. They arrived at 8:30 ,as agreed, worked until 12:30 when the truck was full. They went to the new house and unloaded. Unloading was fast and with no issues, they reassembled all items and always cleaned after them. During the time of the u lad they got another crew to come and pick all items that didn't fit the in the first truck. This made all the process go faster. I was afraid from this move as I hear all the stories of movers. Well, Rick and the team changed that. Great job team and will work with you in the future.

"I can’t say enough good things about this junk removal company! They came out quickly and hauled away a large pile of debris from my property with no hassle at all. Professional, efficient, and courteous from start to finish. Special shoutout to Alex Williams—he went above and beyond to make sure everything was taken care of. Friendly, hard-working, and clearly takes pride in his work. It’s not every day you find someone who makes a not-so-fun job feel easy and stress-free. Highly recommend this crew—especially if Alex is on the job!"

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.

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.

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. 

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.
