Office furniture recycling

As part of our corporate social responsibility JTS Relocations are fully committed to the environment, which includes implementing sustainable practices to dispose of our clients unwanted furniture and equipment. We hold the ISO 14001 (Environmental Management System) accreditation and continue to work on our objectives as well as helping our clients improve their sustainability. We undertake office furniture dismantling and recycling for the majority of our clients, helping reduce the amount of waste the UK produces, 90% of which is recoverable.

Depending on your organisation’s policies, requirements and timescales we may be able to help you dispose of your furniture through reuse, resale or restoration. Our Office Furniture Recycling policies helped us to be named the Commercial Mover of the Year two years running. Something we are proud of and which shows our clients how dedicated we are in offering the very best service to clients as a commercial relocation contractor.

Working strictly with the Waste Hierarchy, our ‘Reuse First’ policy ensures that wherever possible, the maximum amount of items will be reused. Our project manager can contact charities and community organisations locally with the aim of donating redundant furniture and effects. Any recipient of items to be reused will be issued with a ‘Furniture Recycling Audit’ form at the point of handover. Those recipients further confirm that when they no longer require the items, they will again be either reused or recycled through the appropriate channels, thus passing on the duty of care and providing a clear audit trail and protection for your company.

Using the same step on the hierarchy, we aim to refurbish what we can for onward use. However, we understand that this has to be a cost effective exercise for our clients including recognition and research of the market available for the product.

Where property cannot be reused or refurbished each item is split down. Our fitters are trained specifically to ensure that the component parts are carefully separated in order to achieve the highest rate possible for recyclable material.

Where recycling is required this will always be undertaken at approved centres, close to your offices minimising fuel emissions. With this in mind, if your offices are some distance from one of our depots, we will hire the vehicles we require within your town once again keeping mileage to a minimum.

Upon completion of the work our expert team will provide a full Project Report which will contain all necessary certification and tonnage figures.

All electrical items covered under the Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment Directive (WEEE) will be recycled as per the current regulations and at an approved recycling centre. Full audit trails are obtained and dockets will be forwarded to you following completion of the recycling.
