Properly disposing of your old commercial kitchen equipment is required by law to manage hazardous waste disposal. While local regulations may differ, the pillars of recycling and waste disposal are essentially the same. The subject poses a true moral obligation regarding natural preservation, and waste disposal in commercial settings should be managed very carefully to minimize any negative environmental impact. Commercial kitchen equipment, as the blog title encompasses, includes all types of different machines, like refrigerators, exhaust hoods, fryers, dishwashers, ovens, and more. Read on to learn how to get rid of outdated commercial equipment the right way!

Which Type of Kitchen Equipment Are You Disposing Of?

Commercial fridges, fryers, ovens, dishwashers, ranges, mixers, and other food processors are the kinds of equipment required to be disposed of by any food service business. If you reach the end of the equipment’s lifespan and you need to dispose of it, the kind of equipment you are disposing of will play a huge role in how you should proceed. Disposing of old commercial kitchen equipment is a very delicate process, so pay attention to the intricacies and unique demands of every machine.

What About the Condition of Your Kitchen Equipment?

Most old commercial kitchen equipment components could be recycled, used for scraps, fixed or repurposed, and put to use again. This will depend on the condition of the kitchen equipment. Assess the equipment’s cosmetic and mechanic status to find out which option is best. If the equipment is new, you would have an easy time selling it. This could generate some income for you. If it is gently used and in solid working condition, you could sell or donate the unit. If there are minor issues that could be fixed, you can then take on the task and increase its value or disclose the problems to prospective buyers for their conditions. It is best not to give up on some perfectly good equipment over minor malfunctions.
