Ever wondered what happens to old office furniture when businesses upgrade or implement a new fitout?

Sometimes office furniture will simply end up in the landfill, but when Interstall work with companies they consciously dispose, reuse, recycle or donate.

“It takes a conscious effort to dispose, reuse, recycle or donate office furniture” says Julie Yates, Business Manager. “However, we are seeing an increase in requests from clients to be mindful of where old furniture ends up. Often, furniture, while no longer appropriate for the current purpose, is in excellent working condition – this is when we can really make a difference and pass on furniture.”

Interstall will remove product from site, and, if the product is in good condition will place product out the front of the business on the road for a while. Local businesses or people driving past stop and collect the free furniture. “People are really thankful, as the furniture is often in really great condition, it just needs a new home. It’s a great way to support the local community. Of course, we ensure furniture isn’t left out on the street for too long”. Says Julie.

Local charity shops also benefit from donations of office furniture via Interstall. Disposing via donation is often requested by clients.

If disposal is required, Interstall will ensure product is dismantled and disposed of in an environmentally friendly way locally – following recycling principals.

Repurposing involves maintenance on office chairs or desks to restore to good working order. Often, chairs just need a little tweak and they are good as new again.

Interstall will work with businesses and arrange a time to collect old furniture, transport the items off site and then dispose, reuse, recycle or donate. This takes the hassle out of this part of the process for businesses, meanwhile making a conscious impact on the environment and community.

“It’s a great way to support businesses, the community and the environment” Julie Yates, Interstall.
