Responsible Office Furniture Removal Practices

Are you going to be purchasing high-end furniture for your executive office suite? If so, you are probably trying to figure out a way to dispose of the furnishings that are already in your office. A removal company that uses sustainable practices will haul away furnishings, plus will attempt to repurpose or donate them. 

Sustainable Practices

Polyurethane, untreated wood, metal, and many plastic varieties can be repurposed. A desk or a chair that is constructed of these materials may look weathered, but could possibly be broken down and repurposed. 

If a furnishing is going to be recycled, renewable materials will be stripped from it. If a furnishing is constructed of composite, treated wood, or another material that cannot be recycled, all efforts will be made to donate the furnishing. In some instances, an office furniture removal company may sell used furnishings for discounted prices.

Just because you are deciding to upgrade your furnishings does not mean that your old ones do not hold any value. Some materials are in high demand, which will make renewable materials sought after. Some furnishing styles are also in high demand, especially for those who may not have the funds necessary to purchase new furnishings, but who would like to acquire office furnishings for their business or personal needs.

Environmentally Friendly And Fair

Because furnishings won't be disposed of in a landfill, the environment won't be compromised. Some people tend to break down old furnishings and dump them along roadways. Doing this could ultimately lead to materials accumulating in waterways. A safe and responsible disposal method that involves reusing furnishings or the materials that they are made of is beneficial to business owners, consumers, and the environment.

A furniture owner has a couple of ways they can go about finding out how much it will cost to have old office furnishings picked up and transported by a removal service. They can request an onsite assessment of their removal needs. This will involve documenting each furnishing, inspecting pieces, and receiving a quote from a service provider.

They can also use an online estimation tool. This tool will allow a furniture owner to submit information about each piece of furniture. They will be given a ballpark figure that relates to how much it will cost to have the pieces hauled away.
