IT’S TIME TO DECOMMISSION

Growing Organizations Are Constantly Managing Change.

When times are tight, they downsize. When times are good, they expand. When their competitive environment shifts, there are mergers, acquisitions, and office changes.

When styles grow stale, companies refurbish. For example, high panels for workstations are becoming obsolete. The current trend for workstations is low panels: increasing visibility, communication, and collaboration among your team while allowing more natural light to your offices.

The time comes when office furniture must be “decommissioned,” or removed from service.

Clearing your workspace responsibly and efficiently requires a comprehensive plan. You need an organized, professional approach and an experienced team.

Decommissioning services can focus on responsibly and efficiently removing:

  Workstations

   Private office furniture

   Conference room furniture

   Filing cabinets

    Furniture from reception areas

    Common area furniture

DEVELOPING A RESPONSIBLE DECOMMISSIONING PLAN

Decommissioning plans are comprehensive, leveraging four strategies:

  1. Reuse, including selling
  2. Recycling
  3. Repurposing, including donating
  4. Disposal

A responsible plan prioritizes the first three options: reusing, recycling and repurposing.

The fourth strategy – disposing of materials in landfill – is a last resort. Even where it is part of the plan, disposal can minimized with a dedicated investment in labour and separation.

Any or all of the strategies can be used to customize a plan that makes sense for your company’s priorities.

We have over 12 years of experience successfully managing the delivery, installation, and decommissioning of office furniture for small and large customers that complete on time and on budget.  From setting up a small office to relocating 650 workstations from one building to another, we have proven that we have the skill and expertise to approach all customer requirements with the same level of professionalism and urgency.

DEVELOPING THE PLAN:

The plan begins with a comprehensive review of your existing facility – a detailed analysis of the quality and suitability of existing stock – to determine what can be salvaged. The review will help you to decide what can be retained when moving or refurbishing your premises. As your plan develops, environmental consciousness is paramount. Decommissioning is an opportunity to practice your company’s environmental mission.

REUSE

HOW MUCH OF YOUR EXISTING FURNITURE CAN BE USED IN THE NEW SPACE?

Not just chairs and desks, but items such as whiteboards and boardroom tables are particularly apt for reuse.

Some factors may reduce the reusability of your items:

Re-Branding A company-wide rebrand may mean your old furniture does not match the finishes and colours of your new brand.

Functional Space What if your concept of a functional space changes? What if you move from private offices to a shared, open concept space? Different approaches will affect how much furniture you can reuse.

REPURPOSING

HOW MANY ITEMS CAN BE REPURPOSED?

Repurposing means either re-selling your items or donating them to a charitable organization.

Donations

Another method of disposing of unwanted office furniture includes donations. Donating to a local charity or organization is beneficial for many reasons, such as:

  • Removal of clutter from your office
  • Community service
  • Brand recognition
  • Positive reputation
  • Eco-friendly recycling

Many companies who choose to donate their office furniture simply don’t know where to send it. e3 Office Furniture works with businesses regularly, finding organizations and charities in need, so your office furniture makes a difference in the lives of others.

RECYCLE

The next responsible option is recycling. Items not suitable for reuse or repurposing through sale or donation can often be recycled for their materials. This includes building materials – metal, cardboard and plastics – that come from your workspace.

What materials can you recycle? How much can you recycle? The types and amounts of items diverted for recycling vary based on the project type.

DISPOSAL

We strive to avoid sending things to landfill as much as possible. However, decommissioning projects still end up throwing away discarded wood or laminate furniture.
