Expert Restaurant Equipment Removal for Somers Commercial Properties

Somers restaurants and food service businesses rely on Cortes Junk Removal for complete commercial kitchen equipment removal. Properties in the Somers area near Highway 41 corridor and the Kenosha County border often require specialized removal of heavy stainless steel equipment, hood systems, and refrigeration units that standard junk removal cannot handle.

Our team understands Lake County permit requirements and ensures all commercial equipment removal complies with Wisconsin and Illinois health department regulations.

The restaurant equipment removal process in Somers begins with an on-site assessment of your commercial kitchen layout, equipment weight, and access points. Most Somers restaurant equipment removal projects take 1-3 days depending on the volume and complexity of your operation. We disconnect gas lines, electrical systems, and water hookups safely, then remove equipment using commercial-grade dollies and lifting equipment rated for 2,000+ pound loads. After removal, we haul materials to certified commercial recycling facilities or metal recyclers, recovering aluminum, copper, and stainless steel value from your old equipment.
