The Junk Thief is a hauling and waste disposal company servicing the entire NOVA area. We offer Recycling, Donations & disposal of unwanted debris.

"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."

"Potomac Pros is fantastic! We had a project to remove trash from our cluster common areas (where homeowners left old fence lumber, tires, etc.) Mauricio and crew were fast & efficient. They kept me informed of the work progress and sent me pictures where trash debris was larger than originally surveyed. They made sure the area was clear so the natural vegetation can grow (and our community mowing service has access to maintain/control natural growth). I would highly recommend Potomac Pros to other clusters (and homeowners) looking for a dependable company to give them a fair quote for their trash removal."

Garbage Collection questions, answered by experts

Garbage disposals last an average of seven years but can function well past 10 years. However, as time goes on and more food is ground, the grinding plates will slowly lose their edge and need replacing. A motor likely won’t last 10 or more years, but you should be able to get a minimum of five years at least, even under heavy usage. 

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.

Garbage disposals are durable appliances that usually last at least eight years as long as you clean and maintain them. It’s relatively rare for a garbage disposal to break on its own, as most malfunctions happen due to user errors, like overstuffing the grinding compartment or damaging the blades by trying to dispose of metal or bone. Eventually, cracks or leaks could develop in the unit, which requires a full replacement. 

Many homeowners wonder if a garbage disposal is necessary with a dishwasher. After all, many dishwashers are powerful enough to handle bits of food with no issues.  

Still, your dishwasher should not act as a replacement for a disposal. Subjecting your dishwasher to continuous leftovers could lead to major clogs. If you don’t want a garbage disposal in your kitchen, simply scrape away any extra food into your trash can or compost pile.

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.
