Office furniture in good condition that doesn’t fit your current needs does not have to end up in a landfill. Remodels, downsizing, and sometimes liquidation leave companies struggling to find a solution to unwanted or unused desks, chairs, shelving, and other office equipment. Many times a company will resort to paying for disposal of the unwanted items in the dump.
There is a solution for getting rid of your unneeded items at the office expediently and profitably. Donate your old office furniture and office gear to a liquidator. Firms that deal in office furniture donations take on a surprisingly long list of items not relegated to just desks and chairs.
Items Large and Small
While small organizations may only have a few desks and chairs, larger operations often come with a complete list of items often overlooked for donation.
If you have a company lunchroom and conference space, it is common to find kitchen equipment from microwaves, stoves, small appliances, and refrigerators. These items can be liquidated along with coffee service stands, tables, and chairs.
The smaller items in your inventory can also be taken away and conveniently utilized elsewhere. Office supplies, floor mats, and bulletin boards are needed every day, and those items in good condition are perfect for donation. Schools, charities, and community projects appreciate being the recipients of unwanted office gear along with usable furniture in good condition, such as filing cabinets and storage units.
Heavy Lifting
Office liquidators can handle even the really big jobs with heavy lifting involved. Typically, you will need to make arrangements in advance for these items to be picked up, as heavy lifting and storage considerations will need to be considered. Cubicles and conference tables are good examples of large, heavy furniture that is accepted and will require the appropriate workers to lift the weight.
Drop Off or Pick Up
It is always a good idea to contact the company receiving the donation of your office furniture and unwanted items. Depending on the quantity of goods you are donating, space could become an issue. Liquidation companies that deal in office furniture donations are typically prepared to tackle donations of equipment from larger companies with appropriate notice.
If drop-offs are available and you have the means to transport your unneeded items, arrange to donate your good used office furniture and supplies to expedite the process. Be sure of availability and plan to make your donation during business hours.
Responsible Giving
Making office furniture donations is an easy and effective way to reduce the refuse in our landfills. Local charities often do not have room for large donations, such as entire office suites and cubicles, making a liquidator the perfect solution. When you donate your used office furniture and equipment to a liquidator, you often will have a choice of charities to choose from who will benefit from your donation. Be sure to check with the liquidation company for more information on who your donation will benefit.
