Many businesses are looking for environmentally friendly ways to dispose of office furniture. In this blog post, we uncover five of the most common ways companies can do themselves without an office clearance company.
Re-Sell the Furniture
One of the easiest ways to environmentally dispose of your used office furniture is by selling it to somebody willing to buy it. This is a great way to recover some of the costs on the original purchase to contribute to any new office furniture. Fortunately, there are multiple ways to re-sell your furniture, and some of the most popular methods are eBay and Facebook Marketplace.
Donate the Furniture
There is always someone or an organisation that needs extra furniture in today’s world. The easiest way to donate your furniture is by using eBay and Facebook Marketplace, but many consumers are looking for a bargain. Instead, you can call local charities and community groups and ask if they would appreciate a donation of your office furniture.
Gift the Furniture
Like donating, you could gift your furniture to your staff and their friends and family. This can sometimes reach those struggling financially and support your team who work from home.
Recycle the Furniture
If your furniture is falling apart and would not be worth passing on as secondhand, then dissembling it into material categories is the start of the recycling process. Across London, there are hundreds of recycling centres and “dumps” where you can correctly dispose of each furniture material.
Reuse the Furniture
Teams willing to be creative, perhaps as a team-building exercise, can find ways to reuse. It could be in different parts of the office, or maybe, just not disposing of it if it is still in working condition.
