Expert Restaurant Equipment Removal for Palatine Restaurants & Businesses
Palatine's established commercial corridors along Rand Road and Skokie Boulevard host dozens of restaurants, catering operations, and food service businesses that eventually need equipment removal. Unlike general junk haulers, Cortes Junk Removal understands Illinois Department of Health regulations, Palatine's commercial demolition permits (typically $150-$300 depending on scope), and the specialized handling required for refrigeration units containing EPA-regulated refrigerants. Properties in the Palatine Commons shopping area and near Busse Woods Forest Preserve often have tight loading access, and our crews navigate these constraints daily.
Our restaurant equipment removal process starts with a free on-site assessment within 24 hours of your call. We photograph each piece, verify EPA compliance for refrigeration removal, obtain necessary Palatine permits (3-5 business days), and schedule removal within your preferred 2-week window. Our team disconnects gas, electrical, and water lines safely-critical for commercial kitchens-then hauls away equipment weighing up to 4,000 pounds per piece using hydraulic lift gates. Palatine businesses appreciate that we handle all debris sorting: stainless steel scrap commands $0.40-$0.60 per pound, which we recycle rather than landfill, often reducing your net removal cost by 15-25%.
