There is no need to pay those expensive landfill fees to get rid of your old kitchen appliances and cabinets. There are many other ecofriendly ways that are worth looking into that will help you use and recycle your old kitchen and bathroom cabinets. For many of us the kitchen we are replacing is still worth something. Donating to non- profit organizations such as Green Demolitions or Habitat for Humanity can put that old kitchen to good use.  

While it may not be feasible to recycle everything it is worth looking into what can be recycled. Organizations such as Salvation Army will fix and resell old and used appliances. When you donate your old cabinets and appliances you also benefit from a tax deduction. Other items that can either put cash in your pocket to help finance and pay for that remodel are countertops, hardware, lighting fixtures, steel, copper and unused ceramic or backsplash materials.
