"It was phenomenal and very therapeutic at the same time. The guys really helped me out because I was attached to so much. I can now see and use my garage after 12 years."

"I had a small pile of mostly scrap metal (old gutters, a disassembled TV antenna) and some random other junk, including some fluorescent tubes. I got 3 quotes and Nick's was by far the most reasonable. He responded immediately and we easily scheduled the pick up. He is very personable and professional and I highly recommend him. Additionally, I think the fact that Nick's Junk Thief serves the Fairfax/Burke area all the way from Warrenton testifies to his entrepreneurial energy."

"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.

"These guys did a killer job. Competitive quote, showed up same day, and removed 1.5 tons of heavy, oversized material from a storage unit. They will be my first call the next time I need something hauled away. Thanks!"

"Potomac Pros Removal Services did a great job. When I talked to Mauricio before he came to my house I told him I needed junk removed from my basement and hauled away and a queen mattress and other things moved into the basement. He asked me if I would like them to put the mattress into a bed bag and he offered to pick one up for me at Home Depot! It was a great idea to keep the mattress clean while being stored in the basement. Mauricio and his assistant got the job done efficiently and were careful not to damage the walls, etc., while moving things. Also, they noticed additional junk items in the basement and offered to haul them for no extra charge! I highly recommend Potomac Pros Removal Services."

"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

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.

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.

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.

Continuous feed garbage disposals are the favorite model for many homeowners for a reason. As opposed to batch feed models, add food scraps to the drain whenever the disposal is running. This variety is also typically less expensive, more convenient, and easier to clean.
