Q: How can I maximize the life span of my garbage disposal?

• <div><p>As with many appliances, proper maintenance is key to maximizing your garbage disposal&rsquo;s life span. If everyone in your household is on board with <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-keep-your-garbage-disposal-running.htm">proper care and maintenance</a>, 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.</p></div>

Q: Is it better to repair or replace a garbage disposal?

• <div><p>In some cases, it&rsquo;s more cost-effective in the long run to replace a garbage disposal, but it depends on the specific issue you&rsquo;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&rsquo;s likely better to <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/what-s-it-cost-replace-garbage-disposal.htm">pay for a new garbage disposal</a> rather than sink money into repairs.</p></div>

Q: What tool is used to reset a garbage disposal?

• <div><p>Most garbage disposals have a reset button that can be triggered with a tool as simple and accessible as your index finger. That said, if you need to perform a more in-depth troubleshooting step, like manually moving the arms inside the unit or rotating the impeller plate, a hex wrench is the most common tool you&rsquo;ll need. Most garbage disposals come with a hex wrench.</p></div>

Q: Will any size garbage disposal fit my sink?

• <div><p>While the drain connection for a garbage disposal is nearly universal and fits standard sink drain holes of 3 1/2 to 4 inches, the size of the disposal unit itself is not. You must have enough space in the cabinet underneath your sink to accommodate the disposal's housing. A larger model may not fit in a compact cabinet or if the existing plumbing is arranged in an unusual way. Before buying a new garbage disposal, measure the available space under your sink. If you are replacing an old unit, it's often easiest to choose a new model of a similar size.</p></div>

Q: What should not be put in a garbage disposal?

• <div><p>These appliances certainly increase the number of things allowed down the drain, but they&rsquo;re not foolproof. There are several <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/what-not-put-down-garbage-disposal.htm">items you shouldn&rsquo;t put in your garbage disposal</a>, according to manufacturers and technicians. Don&rsquo;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.</p></div>

"Hired Plex through Uhaul. The first company I selected did not respond so I selected Plex Multiservice LLC. The owner Paki Brown responded promptly and he showed up on time with one of his workers. I had moving pads and plenty of tape and the Plex guys carefully wrapped each piece of furniture very carefully and loaded efficiently into the rental truck. There were seven difficult pieces such as an expensive break front with glass sides, a hide a bed couch from the 2nd floor and a treadmill in the basement. We were extremely impressed with the care that Plex took with our belongings and how efficient they were in dealing with large, heavy and bulky item. Would highly recommend Plex For anyone needing help moving, loading or unloading."
