"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

Replacing a garbage disposal costs anywhere from $150 to $950, but the average cost is somewhere around $550. There are two types of garbage disposal units, and continuous feed disposals tend to cost more than batch feed disposals. Going for an aluminum garbage disposal is also significantly cheaper than choosing a stainless steel garbage disposal. You'll also need to factor in the horsepower of the motor, labor, and the removal and disposal of your old unit.

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. 

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.

Whether it's worth repairing your garbage disposal depends on its age and the specific problem. Generally, if the unit is eight years old or younger, repair is a good option. For minor issues like a bad seal or a simple jam, a repair can be inexpensive, sometimes under $10. However, if the motor is broken (a repair that can cost $150 or more) or the unit is getting old, it's often more cost-effective to replace the entire disposal.

These appliances certainly increase the number of things allowed down the drain, but they’re not foolproof. There are several items you shouldn’t put in your garbage disposal, according to manufacturers and technicians. Don’t put coffee grounds down the drain. The same goes for eggshells, potato peels, hard foods, onion skins, and any dry, expandable food. Most importantly, never put grease or oils down the drain.
