Garbage Disposal Cleaning Prices
Every price is computed from the same formula - a base price for the service plus travel charge based on round-trip drive time from Port Angeles, rounded to the nearest $5. No hidden fees, no surprise charges on arrival.
The formula
quote(driveMinutes, serviceType, afterHours) = base(serviceType) + travelCharge(driveMinutes, afterHours) + (afterHours ? $25 : 0)
- Base: $89 for a standard garbage disposal clean and service.
- Travel: $1.50 per minute of round-trip drive time after the first 10 free minutes each way. After hours, the rate is $2.00 per minute. Rounded to the nearest $5.
- After-hours: $25 added for appointments outside 8 am to 5 pm weekdays. Weekends are after-hours..
- Inspection only: $25. Waived and applied to the clean if you proceed at the same visit.

Completion guarantee
If Daniel completes the garbage disposal clean and service as described (inspection, manual clean, flush, test run, and condition report), you agree to pay the quoted price. If the disposal is not a candidate for cleaning when he inspects it (needs replacement, electrical issue, out of scope), you pay nothing for the clean and only the inspection fee if you agreed to one in advance.
