Home Improvement Debris Materials Disposal

Before you start to empty the storage underneath and clear off the countertop, you’ll first need a plan for what to do with the materials and debris. Unfortunately, its size prevents you from stuffing it in the trash bin you put on the curb. And, it’s too bulky, anyway. Plus, even if you can get it out of the house in one piece (which is highly unlikely), the local trash collection agency might not even take it.

A kitchen island stands away from the normal counter space. It provides an extra work surface as well as storage. If you need to move the island during a kitchen remodel, you may run into some issues. If yours contains a cooktop or sink, you may need to bring in a professional to move the gas, electrical, or plumbing lines. --Do It Yourself

Do yourself a huge favor and have a junk removal company come over and haul it away. While they’re at your house, you can offload a bunch of other junk, as well. This way, you free up far more space and kill two birds with one stone. Now, let’s get onto the business of removing the kitchen island.

Englewood Kitchen Island Removal and Disposal

Gather together a couple of drill drivers, pry bars, wrenches, and hammers. Then, enlist the help of a friend or family member. Once you’re ready to begin, follow these steps for DIY kitchen island removal:

• Empty the kitchen island. Remove all cookware, perishables, and anything else you have stored on or on the kitchen island. In addition, pull the drawers out completely, taking them off the rails and placing them out of the way. If the island is equipped with a swinging door, remove it from the hinges and place it out-of-the-way as well.
• Take off the molding and trim. The trim is not only decorative, it also conceals the gap between the base and the countertop. Pull the trim off the kitchen island and set it aside if you are going to reuse it.
• Disconnect the plumbing and wiring. If you’re not comfortable with this, leave it to the pros to do for you. But, if you can handle it, turn off the power and water supply lines. Then, disconnect them carefully.
• Remove the countertop. Once the electrical wiring and plumbing is disconnected, you can take off the countertop. You’ll need someone to help you unfasten it and lift it off the base.
