In a lot of areas, Habitat for Humanity runs a Restore that uses or sells stuff like this. You can also donate on Freecycle.

You can sell it yourself on Craigslist or Ebay.

GW is not a sales site, but you can post a description of everything on GW so that people can advise you about how to price it on Craigslist. You would want to be clear about where you live so people would know how to advise you on pricing. Some people might choose to contact you offline if your e-mail is available to discuss pricing further.

you can give it to me!! :) i'm sure it would be a major improvement to my 1960's kitchen!

Seriously though I was going to post about the restore for habitat for humanity! Great cause!

Just don't put them in a landfill. They are too new and useful for that!

I am a few months away but Habitat sounds like a great choice. Thanks.

bluedevil...noticed you're in NYC. There is a Habitat for Humanity
Restore on Long Island, in Copaigue (Suffolk County).

There may be one closer to you, but here's the link for the
Suffolk store.

Nice idea - I was wondering the same thing about our kitchen remodel. I think someone else had a reno sale and just sold everything from their garage.
I am thinking of giving the furniture to the GC for his kids. I might be able to sell it or give it to charity - but it weighs a ton!!!

"you can give it to me!!"

hey! I was gonna post that!

I do agree with the restore. I'll probably be going there to look for some things. I've also bought a few things off of CL. my sink and stove so far. So that is a good option also. Could be someone around you who can't afford new stuff and would be so grateful to find a good buy. Both of mine were from people w/in about 5 miles of me.

It helps someone else reach their goal of remodeling their kitchen. it's a win-win!

Tell the Supt. in your building that you are remodeling your kitchen and that you where looking for a good home for these items,ask him if he wants it or knows anyone that can use it. it will help with your new renovation and make things run a lot smoother when the supt. is involved.
Having the Supt. on board always made the job run better for us. He will no what to do with it.

Here is another option...

Marisa--I checked out their website. Really intriguing. I am definitely going to remember this one!

Or me! I am in dire need of another fridge and an oven, as mine broke a few years ago.

Where do you live?

Well, there is always Craig's List.

Are you KIDDING!

Definitely donate it if you're not going to sell it.
Too much good stuff gets trashed.

I'm here to tell 'ya, it doesn't go to waste if you donate.
After all, practically every cabinet and appliance I have I got from reuse -- or I wouldn't have it!

We just had this discussion last night; we are demoing our 13 yr old kitchen Wednesday. Cabinets are builder upgrades, whatever that means, granite is nice; appliances 13 years old except DW (4 yrs). Someone told me this morning to call Habitat for Humanity. I'm anxious to see what they say. I also suggested we save same of the upper cabs and hang them in the garage. I could sure use the storage since we do not have basements and we have.to.keep.everything. (shhhh...during the day, I've been stuffing things in the trash that I don't want to keep and I know if DH sees it, he'll say 'don't get rid of that')!

I donated my entire kitchen to a family in dire need. They were living in a home that basically didn't have a functional kitchen. I heard about them through my KD who knows them through her church. It was an older couple who lost most of their retirement in the stock market. The DH is disabled and can't work and she cleans houses to bring in money. They had family and people from church who were gong to help them put it together. I had a chance to meet the woman who was receiving my old kitchen and she was practically in tears because she was so grateful. Gave me the biggest hug while saying "Thank you!" over and over. Was very humbling to see her so grateful for something that I was so happy to be rid of.

There are definitely people in need. Local churches or food banks may know of someone? Definitely don't toss it in a landfill.

I just checked my local Habit for Humanity ReStore website, and under Appliances they said 5 years old or less. How can that be?

We sold our 9 year old kitchen and appliances on Craigslist. We had 15 offers in 6 hours of posting. There is definitely a secondary market. Our plan B was to donate it to Habitat if we could not sell it ourselves.

I wanted to keep as much out of the landfill as possible too, and came up with many different solutions. Partly this was because for anything that went to the dump I had to load it in the truck and drive it to the dump, unload it from the truck, and pay them based on the weight of what I dropped off. So in addition to "saving the planet" I had a less abstract incentives "saving valuable weekend DIY work time" and "saving my back from too much lifting" to be creative.

These are some of the solutions I came up with:

Refrigerator went via free cycle.
Stove went to sister.
Some cabinets sold through craigslist, the rest went into garage as storage.
Sliding glass door, sink and windows went to Habitat Store.
Microwave and ceiling fans donated to yard sale to raise money for friends vet bills.
Some pots and pans (which wouldn't work on the new induction cooktop) went to a newly opened women's shelter.
The rest of the pots went to a YMCA yardsale store.
Some lumber from demolition was used in non-load-bearing portions of the new work.
Dishwasher went to the dump :-( (Hey I tried.)

You might also try Green Demolitions, which takes quite a few NYC kitchens to recycle. And I am pretty sure they come to uninstall and remove the donated kitchens.

The only thing they tend to offer dates for on their web site is Sub Zeros. I can tell you that yours is within their range if they like the kitchen.

Best of luck.

In our community, there are two nonprofit and one for-profit building salvage companies. One accepts materials, but you have to bring it to them; the other two will do the demo for you for free, but only if your cabs are something they think they can re-sell (ours were so old and shabby they wouldn't take them). There is a different nonprofit that does appliance recycling (and it's a job training program, which is cool). They offer curbside pickup and take away most appliances for free, but they charge for refrigerators due to the cost of recycling freon.

Agree with Habitat for Humanity and the others mentioned above. Craigs List always works too. I was shocked at what people actually wanted that I thought I'd be throwing in the dumpster. Sometimes people called within an hour of posting.

I've donated a lot of items to Habitat for Humanity Restore as I've been working on bathroom remodels. Be careful when you do demo so that the items are still salvageable. Also, keep them out of the rain/snow even when they are being picked up that day. I also found a local vintage salvage place that will likely receive my matched set of bright blue toilet and sinks when I redo my last bathroom. I have several items in my basement waiting for me to call Restore for a pickup.

Many of the stores that sell appliances will also pick up your old appliances. I always presumed they sold them, donated them, but I'm not certain. Does anyone know?

Often appliances and such can be sold on CL or local classifieds. In our area, anything free is likely to go incredibly quickly.

Some people also reuse their old kitchen sinks, cabinets, etc in garages or home work shops.

Also - our local utility company will pay us for old appliances - I think only refrigerators currently!

I also would feel bad about putting the torn-out kitchen stuff in the dump.

I kept my ss fridge (7-8 yr old) & Bosch dishwasher (3-4 yr old), re-used them in the remodel -- they were still working great & look fine. The rest of the kitchen was donated to Habitat for Humanity Restore. Our local Restore didn't have any stipulations about age of appliances -- the drop-in range was the still-working original builder model from 1982! They did get an upgraded OTR microwave/convection oven in very good condition (but still at least 8 years old). Restore also took old cabinets (oak,decent condition), laminate countertop, stainless sink & faucet, disposal, solid wood exterior door (to garage), & light fixtures.

Since the renovation was a good time to sort through the detritus from cabinet storage & get rid of unneeded kitchenware, all that went to Goodwill. Only the "keepers" went back into the new cabinets.
