From time to time, we change office furniture for various reasons, which leaves us with unnecessary items such as furniture and equipment. If left unattended, these items end up in landfills and increase the waste in the landfill. You can use garbage collection companies‘ help to sort this out for you or use the following tips to dispose of your used furniture properly.
Create inventory
Clear information about the furniture you want to get rid of can save you and your trash removal service providers a lot of valuable time. You can also minimize the headaches and misunderstandings caused by poor planning. The best way to get started is to use a standard spreadsheet to record office inventory. Start making a list from there, and then match the furniture details that need to be removed.
Prepare an action plan
Accounting for used furniture is not enough. It would help if you also considered supplier relationships, site safety, budget, and other factors that can affect the outcome of the entire project. An unplanned intervention can result in wasted time and effort, disruptions in logistics, fines and fees for the landfill, environmental hazards, etc. Because most of these risks are linked together, they can be difficult to avoid without proper processes.
Work only with reliable suppliers
Once you have a supply of items you want to dispose of from your office, the next most important step is to hire a reliable garbage disposal company that operates by local laws. You can request references as well as verify industry certification through due diligence. Once you have a list of suppliers, you can request a quote.
How is office furniture disposed of?
The process of recycling furniture can be carried out in several ways:
- Burning in special furnaces.
- Recycling.
- Burial in a designated area.
Burial and incineration procedures cause some damage to the environment. Therefore, they are used only in extreme cases. The main task of recycling is recycling, which can solve two problems:
- Reduce the cost of products through the reuse of materials.
- Support the environment.
In addition to natural wood, modern office furniture uses a variety of lumber, the production of which uses toxic substances. Therefore, recycling is preferable to incineration or landfill.
