What do you do with old office cubicles and workstations?

Cubicles are bolted together on-site when they’re installed, so in order to remove them, they need to be taken apart. You can often sell large, matched sets to liquidators and donate what’s in good shape. Then a commercial crew like The Junkluggers can disassemble and haul away all the rest.

Cubicles look like one thing when they’re put together, but they’re not. They’re made up of panels, brackets, work surfaces, and cable trays. Once assembled, they look like small offices. But when it comes time to move, you can’t easily do that without disassembling them.

Reselling often only works when you have big, matched sets of current cubicle brands. If you have a dozen mismatched old cubicle stations, it’s going to likely be hard to find a buyer. It’s better not to wait on finding one.

In Manhattan, one of the trickiest parts of moving cubicles, or any large items, is working with building management. You will likely need a certificate of insurance and to reserve a freight elevator. You might also need to handle all furniture removal after hours. The Junkluggers handles office cleanouts as part of commercial junk removal, and can produce the insurance a building requires. Here's what to expect on the day of the service.

When it comes time to dispose of old cubicles, you should know that they don’t have to go straight to the landfill. Steel frames can usually be recycled. Laminate tops usually are not. The rest, when usable, can go to donation. Taking cubicles apart is billed at an hourly rate. However, quotes will be provided upfront so there are no surprises.
