"Five Brothers Junk Removal exceeded expectations. I posted on Angie’s List and had a callback within 90 seconds — they came out same day for an estimate, and their bid matched my budget exactly. We scheduled the work for day three, and their two-man crew arrived and worked diligently for one solid hour, completing the entire project: old play structures, two oversized 100+ lb sandboxes, tarps, Power Wheels, bikes, yard waste, and debris — all cleared, leaving the yard spotless. The estimate matched the final invoice exactly, and they delivered everything promised, on schedule. Efficient, hardworking, and completely reliable. THE BEST! I’ll be recommending them on every neighborhood app I use. As a Chevy Chase/Bethesda homeowner, I refer Five Brothers with complete confidence. Sara"

"My mother had died and I was donating all of her furniture & personal items to charity. The 2 men showed up on time and they were very respectful of my mother’s death. The job went incredibly quick. I couldn’t have asked for them to be any better at their jobs than they were. If I have another opportunity, I’d hire them again without question."
Couch removal is the number one single furniture item that we get called to take. Whether you’re looking for a new style, or moving and can’t take it with you, we will get it out.
A pile of garbage that got piled up outside the bins creating a unsightly and unsanitary environment.
Professional, reliable and efficient removals every time.
All cleared up. Now on schedule to do regular removals so it doesn’t get to that point again.

"Josh did an amazing job on our heavy cleanout project. The amount of clutter was overwhelming, but he came in with a plan and handled everything professionally from start to finish. He worked quickly, stayed organized, and made the whole process stress-free for us. He was respectful of the situation, communicated clearly, and went above and beyond to make sure everything was cleared out and cleaned up properly. The transformation was unbelievable. I highly recommend Josh and his team if you need a large cleanout done right!"

Garbage Collection questions, answered by experts

On average, it takes one to four hours for a professional to install a garbage disposal. This includes removing the old unit, taking necessary measurements for positioning, removing and fitting new pipes, and installing the brand-new disposal system. If there are unforeseen issues, such as accessibility concerns, the process takes longer.

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.

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. 

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.

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.
