"Miller and his colleagues were able to do a lot of things quickly. Along with everything else, they also grabbed some old furniture that I needed help moving to the curb. They took several cares to make sure nothing was damaged during the move, including wrapping the furniture, turning off all the lights, and packaging the picture frames."

"Two guys showed up at my place at time and quickly and accurately loaded all my stuff and furniture to a truck. At the new house they quickly unloaded the stuff and put everything at desired places on the first and second floor. Everything was done quickly and very accurately, so no scratch marks appear anywhere. Also they helped me to move some existing furniture to the second floor and even assembled new bedroom furniture. Great work and great company with very competitive pricing. I'll use their services again."

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

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.

Soil is just one of the items you shouldn't put down a garbage disposal. Garbage disposals are only meant for soft, non-fibrous foods. Large amounts of topsoil, dirt, or rocks will damage the blades of your garbage disposal or clog the pipes. If a small amount of dirt goes down the drain as you repot a plant, you shouldn't have to worry, but never dump a whole pot of soil in the sink for fast disposal.

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.

In some cases, it’s more cost-effective in the long run to replace a garbage disposal, but it depends on the specific issue you’re having and the age of your disposal. You should ask a garbage disposal repair tech for a quote to repair your appliance and then see if it would be more worthwhile to replace it. Additionally, garbage disposals last for around 15 years, so if you know your appliance is reaching that age, it’s likely better to pay for a new garbage disposal rather than sink money into repairs.

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.
