Remodeling Material Disposal
Now, before we get into the actual kitchen island removal, you should know what you’ll do with the debris. When you do any type of remodeling or renovation, you’ll invariably create a whole lot of waste and debris.

A kitchen island stands away from the normal counter space. It provides an extra work surface as well as storage.

Punta Gorda Kitchen Island Removal
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 kitchen island removal:
- Empty the kitchen island. Remove all cookware, perishables, and anything else you have stored on or in 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.
