Bathroom vanity removal costs $115 to $500 for professional removal and disposal according to Angi. DIY removal is free — you only pay for disposal. Dropcurb picks up a detached bathroom vanity at the curb for $99, or $129 for a large or double-sink vanity: faster and cheaper than renting a dumpster, and easier than hauling it yourself.
How Much Does It Cost to Remove a Bathroom Vanity?
Vanity removal pricing depends on whether you're hiring someone for the removal itself or just need disposal after DIY removal.
Professional removal and disposal costs $115 to $500 according to Angi. Homewyse places the range at $24.51 to $48.56 per linear foot including disconnecting plumbing, removing the unit, patching, and cleanup. For a standard 48-inch vanity, that works out to $100 to $200. Larger double vanities (60 to 72 inches) cost $150 to $350.
Traditional full-service junk removal charges $100 to $500 for vanity removal service depending on size, countertop material, and location. Stone countertop vanities cost more because of the extra weight — a granite vanity top can weigh 150 to 300 pounds.
DIY removal takes 30 to 60 minutes for a standard vanity and requires only basic tools: adjustable wrench, bucket, utility knife, and a drill. Your only cost is disposal: $99 for a standard vanity through Dropcurb curbside pickup.
Bundled with new vanity installation is the most common scenario. Plumbers and contractors include old vanity removal in their install quote. Total labor for remove-and-replace runs $665 to $3,300 depending on plumbing complexity and the new vanity size.

How Do I Get Rid of an Old Bathroom Vanity?
Five ways to dispose of an old bathroom vanity, ranked from cheapest to most convenient.
Donate if it's reusable. Habitat for Humanity ReStore accepts vanities in good condition with functioning hardware. They offer free pickup in most areas. Other options: post on Facebook Marketplace or Craigslist as "free vanity" — bathroom flippers and DIYers grab these quickly.
Curbside pickup with Dropcurb. Disconnect the vanity, move it to the curb, and book pickup for $99 ($129 for a large or double-sink vanity). Same-day pickup when you book by 2 PM. No need to break it down or bag it.
City bulk pickup. Most municipalities pick up large items for free, but wait times run 2 to 8 weeks. Fine if you're not on a tight renovation timeline.
Self-haul to a dump. Drive it to your local transfer station or landfill. Fees are typically $20 to $50 by weight. You'll need a truck or SUV that can fit the vanity.
Hire a junk removal company. Full-service companies like traditional full-service junk removal charge $150 to $400+ for single-item pickup. They'll handle everything including disconnection in some cases, but you're paying a premium for the convenience.
Bathroom Vanity Removal Cost by Vanity Size
Vanity width determines removal complexity and disposal cost. Wider vanities are heavier and may require two people to move.

| Vanity Type | Width | Approximate Weight | Professional Removal | DIY + Disposal |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Small single sink | 24–30 inches | 50–80 lbs | $100–$200 | $99 Dropcurb pickup |
| Standard single sink | 36–48 inches | 80–150 lbs | $125–$300 | $99 Dropcurb pickup |
| Double sink vanity | 60–72 inches | 150–250 lbs | $200–$400 | $129 Dropcurb pickup |
| Custom built-in vanity | Varies | 200–400+ lbs | $300–$500 | From $129 Dropcurb pickup |
| Vanity with stone top | Any size | +100–300 lbs for stone | +$50–$150 | $188 for a standard vanity plus a separate stone top |
What Affects Bathroom Vanity Removal Cost?
Four factors push your vanity removal cost above or below average.
Countertop material is the biggest variable. Laminate and cultured marble tops are light (20 to 40 pounds) and easy to handle. Granite and quartz tops weigh 100 to 300 pounds and may need two people plus careful handling to avoid breaking. Some professionals charge $50 to $150 extra for stone top removal.
Plumbing complexity matters if you're paying someone to disconnect. A standard vanity with exposed shut-off valves takes 15 minutes to disconnect. Vanities with no accessible shut-offs, soldered connections, or integrated plumbing require a licensed plumber ($75 to $200 per hour).
Wall and floor damage after removal may need attention. Vanities often hide damaged or unfinished walls and flooring. Budget $100 to $300 for patching drywall and $200 to $500 for flooring repair if the vanity footprint doesn't match the new one.
Access and location affects labor. Main-floor bathrooms with easy exterior access are straightforward. Second-floor bathrooms or tight hallways make moving a heavy vanity more difficult and time-consuming.

Get Instant PricingHow to Remove a Bathroom Vanity Yourself
Turn off water supply
Close the shut-off valves under the sink (turn clockwise). If there are no shut-off valves, turn off the main water supply to the house. Open the faucet to release pressure.
Disconnect plumbing
Place a bucket under the P-trap. Unscrew the slip nuts on the drain P-trap by hand or with pliers. Disconnect supply lines from the faucet with an adjustable wrench. Let remaining water drain into the bucket.
Cut caulk and adhesive
Score the caulk line between the vanity and wall with a utility knife. Also cut any caulk between the backsplash and wall. An oscillating multi-tool works best for tight spots where the vanity meets the wall.
Remove the vanity top
For separate tops: lift straight up. Laminate tops may be glued — pry carefully with a pry bar. For stone tops: get a helper. Lift evenly from both sides to prevent cracking.
Remove the cabinet
Unscrew the cabinet from the wall (usually 2 to 4 screws through the back rail into studs). Pull the cabinet away from the wall. Check for any floor screws or adhesive.
Haul away
Move the vanity to the curb and book Dropcurb pickup from $99. No need to break it down — they take it whole.
How Much Labor Does It Take to Replace a Bathroom Vanity?
Full vanity replacement labor (removing old vanity, installing new one, and connecting plumbing) costs $665 to $3,300 according to contractor estimates. The wide range reflects the complexity difference between a simple swap (same-size vanity, existing plumbing fits) and a remodel (different size vanity, moving plumbing, new flooring).
A straightforward same-size swap takes a plumber 2 to 4 hours. A remodel with plumbing changes takes 1 to 2 full days. Plumber rates range from $75 to $200 per hour depending on location.
Save on labor by doing the removal yourself (30 to 60 minutes) and hiring a plumber only for the install and plumbing connections. This eliminates $100 to $300 from the project cost.
