"Quick response to my post with a competitive quote compared to the other quotes I received. We wanted the furniture and junk removed the next day and they were able to come first thing in the morning and we ended up expanding the number of items we had them remove. They communicated well, were professional, and enjoyable to interact with. I would definitely hire them again."

"I used Moving APT for our relocation to Tampa and they did a very good job both on pick up and drop off. They handled everything with care and absolutely nothing was broken or scratched. I would recommend them."

I’m someone who takes a lot of pride in helping people clear out their space and make things feel manageable again. I know how overwhelming junk can get, whether it’s a small cleanup or a big project, and that’s why I focus on making the whole process as easy and stress-free as possible for you.\nI show up on time, work hard, and treat your home or property with respect—just like I would my own. I’m easy to communicate with, upfront about pricing, and always willing to go the extra mile to make sure you’re happy with the job.\n\nFor me, it’s not just about hauling things away—it’s about helping you feel better in your space. And if I can recycle or donate items instead of just dumping them, I’ll always try to do that too.\n\nIf you’re looking for someone reliable, friendly, and ready to get the job done right, I’ve got you covered.

Garbage Collection questions, answered by experts

Your garbage disposal is not draining because it might have a clog due to food waste, a foreign object, grease, oil, fat, or it may have a broken motor. When water doesn't flush out of the disposal, that's a key sign that your disposal has a clog or needs repair. 

Your garbage disposal will only affect the health of your septic tank if you’re using it too frequently, or filling it with organic waste that doesn’t fully break down. If the tank fills up with too many solids, the bacteria won’t have enough time to consume it before more is added, which can lead to an overflow in the drain field. Your tank will need to be pumped more frequently with excessive or improper garbage disposal use.

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.

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. 

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.
