How do you clear out an office in Wilmington when the lease ends?

Start by checking your lease’s surrender clause to see what condition the space needs to be left in. Then sort what’s moving and what needs to be sold or donated. A commercial junk removal crew like The Junkluggers can take care of everything that doesn’t need to move.

Clearing out an office is a big job. Determining how big exactly it will be comes down to the exact language in the surrender clause. You might need to leave the space broom clean, or you may need to strip it down and remove partitions, signage, and cabling. Either way, you’ll want to know so you can properly size up the job.

Moving crews charge by the hour, so you don’t want them to move items that you don’t want in the first place. Make sure you set aside the items that you do want to move and then you can figure out what to do with what’s left. Offices produce plenty of waste when it comes time to clear them out. There are often old desks, chairs, filing cabinets, and obsolete electronics. An office cleanout crew can handle all of this in just one visit, and can clear an entire space all at once. If there are records or anything with personal information, we can bring in a certified partner to destroy it securely as part of the job.

Hiring a junk removal crew does not mean sending everything to the landfill by default. Good furniture is donated to nonprofits that want it and you can expect a tax-deductible donation receipt within 14 business days for accepted items when applicable. When donation isn’t possible, recycling is the next step. Only the small remainder of items go to the landfill, and that’s a last resort.
