Once a kitchen renovation project is completed, and the contractors have packed up the last of their tools, homeowners rarely think about the old kitchen cabinets that they replaced. Typically, your remodeling company will get rid of all the waste for you, and that’s that.
Those cabinets, even at their age and condition, can still be pretty useful. So, before the crew loads them up for disposal, you might want to check out some of the ways you could put them to good use.
Finding New Purpose
Everybody needs some extra storage space. Even discount kitchen cabinets can be used as additional shelving for your laundry room or basement, or even redecorated and displayed in your living and family room. A little bit of paint goes a long way in finding a new purpose for your old kitchen cabinets so don’t get rid of them just yet.
Donations
Organizations like Habitat for Humanity and Goodwill will take in your old kitchen cabinets as a donation. Some charities will even go as far as help you dismantle and uninstall the cabinets from your kitchen. Not only will you be saving some money off of your labor costs, you’ll also be doing some good work by giving them away to someone who needs them.
Garage Sales and Flea Markets
Of course, you can recoup some of the money you’ve invested in your cabinets by putting them up for sale. In fact, even a quick Google search for dealers of granite near me, kitchen remodelers or home restoration companies will yield you some useful people that would take away your old stuff at a reasonable price.
