What do you do with old office furniture?

Old office furniture rarely retains its resale value, so try offering it to the next tenant or a liquidator before donating usable chairs and desks to nonprofits. To handle cubicles and worn items, bring in a crew like The Junkluggers to break everything down before your landlord's final walkthrough. 

Clearing out an old office is a huge task. Doing it often involves offloading cubicles, office furniture, cabinets, equipment, and a whole lot of general clutter. It doesn’t help that many items cannot be easily resold. You also likely won’t want regular staff working on moving and junk removal during the workday, so this is why a lot of businesses call commercial junk removal companies instead.

If you have furniture that is in good condition, it’s worth at least attempting to sell some of it. But this usually only works for recent purchases that are in good shape and part of matching sets. Sometimes, you can offer it to the next tenant, and that can make life a little easier for you both if they’re interested. But this is a last resort.

In general, commercial suites need to be empty before the lease ends. If this is not the case, the landlord might bill the cost of removal to you.

Cubicles are often the hard part of office clearout jobs. Workstations can weigh anywhere from 150 to 400 pounds each. They also take 15 to 30 minutes to take apart properly, so a floor with just 20 stations can take a full day of teardown. That’s part of why a commercial junk removal crew can be so helpful.

The Junkluggers is one such crew and can take care of everything for you, including booking the dock and freight elevator so you don’t have to worry about it. They can also come by after hours or on the weekend so your team won’t be disrupted during the workday.

Items are donated when possible and recycled when not. If anything is donated for you, you will receive any tax-deductible donation receipts that apply within 14 business days. Bear in mind that recycling isn't optional for California businesses under AB 341, so the steel, cardboard, and rigid plastics off a teardown are sorted out of the load, per our recycling and donation commitment.
