Salvage & Surplus

Green Demolitions, Fairfield
This 43,000-square-foot showroom resells donated high-end kitchens. Often, that means the entire setup: cabinets, countertops, appliances and anything else that has to go when a kitchen renovation about to begin. Green Demo’s staff will disassemble and remove the entire old kitchen. The donor gets a free professional kitchen removal, incurs no costs to dispose of waste and earns a tax write-off. The old kitchen goes onto the showroom floor for a purchase that will make some other homeowner’s dream kitchen come true for a fraction of what it would cost brand-new. A portion of the proceeds benefits addiction recovery programs.275 Route 46 West; 862-210-8332.
