Recycling – Fitting a Recycled Kitchen Was Easier Than I Thought

September 2, 2009 by · Leave a Comment 

There has been a lot of buzz created in recent times regarding the welfare of the environment and one of the simplest ways people can contribute is by recycling. I’ve learned that recycling goes beyond sorting out the trash and putting them in to the different containers to that they can be recycled. Therefore when remodeling my kitchen, I decided to include a recycled kitchen.

The toughest part is to find recycled kitchens. Therefore first call the local building firms to see if they have any old kitchens that they may be willing to part with. I noticed that the building companies were more than helpful to get rid of the old kitchens. However, most of the time the kitchens were either torn out or made of Formica or Chipboard. Luckily for me, I checked out the builders who work on the more wealthy and affluent homes and I came across a wonderful, hand-made, solid wood kitchen that the owners were more than happy to part with. After sanding and polishing the cupboards they were good as new.

This is an easy way to save money on a new kitchen. Some of these kitchens are barely used and ideal for use as a recycled kitchen. You can also check with your local builders for almost new kitchen sinks, taps and other peripherals you may require. Fitting a recycled kitchen isn’t half as hard as it seems. You just need to look in the right places.
