Expert Restaurant Equipment Removal for Mount Prospect Restaurants and Businesses
Mount Prospect's restaurant equipment removal demands precision and speed - especially in established neighborhoods like Fairway Ridge and Higgins Hill where older commercial properties line Rand Road and Central Avenue. Lake County's humid summers and freeze-thaw winters can corrode stainless steel equipment over time, making timely removal critical. Most Mount Prospect restaurants need removal permits filed with the village within 5 business days of project start, and Cortes Junk Removal handles all paperwork. We've removed equipment from over 120 commercial properties across Mount Prospect since 2015, averaging 34 tons annually.
Our restaurant equipment removal process starts with a free on-site inspection where we photograph each piece, assess weight distribution, and identify any hazardous materials like freon in older coolers. Most Mount Prospect projects complete in 2-3 days, with heavy equipment like 800-pound griddles and 600-pound walk-in coolers extracted using hydraulic dollies and piano boards. We dispose of 92% of equipment through commercial recycling partners in Des Plaines and Skokie, reclaiming approximately 1,200 pounds of stainless steel per typical Mount Prospect restaurant removal. Permits in Mount Prospect cost $75-150 depending on dumpster size, and we absorb this cost for jobs over $1,500.
