We as a society have become more and more aware of the consequences of our decisions regarding the disposal of waste in our domestic and working lives and the importance of sustainability, not only environmentally but also ethically. With the proliferation of businesses, charities and social enterprises dedicated to reuse and recycling, it has never been easier to arrange for clearance of unwanted office furniture in a socially responsible way.<\/p>\n<p>There are a number of organisations in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.londonofficespace.com\">London<\/a> who offer a comprehensive service including a survey, quotation, clearance and recycling or reuse of office furniture and goods. Where possible, most of these companies are committed to reuse and cultivate a network of organisations, charities and car-boot and Ebay sellers to repair, re-home and distribute the goods among charities, schools and businesses. Very rarely has office furniture reached the end of its intended life span at the point of disposal, as more often than not it has simply been replaced during a refurbishment or redecoration project. Reuse is by far the most ethically and environmentally friendly approach since the process of repairing, grading and re-installing reused furniture sustains jobs and creates 1000 times fewer CO2 emissions than the manufacturing of a new item. Where it is not possible to reuse, goods are broken down into separate materials to be effectively recycled. Waste goods that are not recycled end up in landfill which may contribute to air pollution due to methane emissions and contamination of water and soil.<\/p>\n<p>Below are some companies offering office clearance in London:<!--more--><\/p>\n<p><strong>BCL<br \/>\n<\/strong>Offer an office furniture and IT recycling service to ensure that a companies corporate social responsibility (CSR) is maintained to a high standard, with a clear audit trail.<br \/>\nhttps:\/\/www.bclmoving.com\/sustainable-office-clearance\/recycle-office-furniture.html<\/p>\n<p><strong>Clearance Solutions<\/strong><br \/>\nOffers clearance services for offices of any size and aim to reuse as much as possible.<br \/>\nwww.clearance-solutions.co.uk<br \/>\n163-173 Praed Street, London W2 1RH<br \/>\n020 7706 7554<\/p>\n<p><strong>Green Works<\/strong><br \/>\nClears and stores unwanted furniture to their depot and work with partner companies to repair, grade and sort furniture and distribute to schools, charities and small businesses.<br \/>\nwww.green-works.co.uk<br \/>\n28 Charles Square, London, N1 6HT<br \/>\n0845 230 2231<\/p>\n<p><strong>Docklands Office Furniture Recycling<\/strong><br \/>\nOffers a free survey of the office as well as clearance service and are dedicated to reusing and re-homing.
