The ReUse People Will Deconstruct Your Kitchen

I received The ReUse People's Velvet Crowbar Newsletter today and they are making an offer that the kitchen remodeling contractor and the Do-It-Yourselfer cannot refuse.

These folks know what they're doing and you can be assured that whatever can be recycled from your kitchen will be.

TRP Kitchen-Removal Program a Win-Win Recipe
By Ted Reiff

In January, 2010, I briefly mentioned the new TRP Kitchen Deconstruction and Removal Program currently being launched, first in the San Francisco Bay Area and then throughout all TRP regions.

We are targeting kitchen designers and remodelers and homeowners. For the same cost as traditional smash-and-discard demolition, TRP will remove kitchen cabinets and appliances, leave the project in broom-clean condition and provide a tax-deductible receipt for the donated reusable items.

Here is how it works:

You call Kitchen Specialist Diana Pell at (510) 385-5786, or TRP at (510) 383-1983 and request a Kitchen Removal Order Form
The form is immediately e-mailed or faxed to you.
You complete the form, computing the easy cost formula to calculate total removal costs.
You send the completed form back to TRP by email or fax.
TRP calls to arrange the work schedule. (Removal can usually be completed in one day.)
A specially-trained TRP crew shows up on the agreed upon day, completes the work, leaves the kitchen ready for cabinet and appliance installation, and presents you with the donation receipt.
The donation will generally cover the entire cost of removal! How much better can it get? With its nonprofit status and 16-plus years of deconstruction and kitchen-removal experience, TRP is the only company that can offer this sweet a deal.
If the project involves a very large kitchen with expensive cabinets and appliances, an appraisal may be required (appraisals are mandatory for donations of $5,000 or more). TRP will provide you with a list of independent appraisers.

TRP kitchen-removal crews cover finished floors and openings to other rooms with plastic or other appropriate protective materials to minimize dust. If you want additional work done while our crew is there (for example, removal of wall coverings, windows, finished floors or recessed lighting), TRP will provide you with a separate quotation for the work.
