Office Clearance for Cash — How to Make Money from Your Old Desks and Chairs
Office clearances often happen fast — relocation, downsizing, or refurb projects leave teams scrambling to get rid of furniture. Most companies pay to have it removed, but a smart few actually get paid instead.
Here’s how to turn your clearance into cash.
1. Start with a Simple Inventory
Before anything leaves the building, record what you have. An inventory with quantities, descriptions, and condition helps buyers give accurate valuations immediately. Office Buyback provides a free downloadable template to make this easy.
2. Request a Valuation
Submit your inventory and photos online. You’ll receive an estimate of what can be resold versus what needs recycling. Even older furniture has material value — steel, MFC, and plastics can all be reclaimed.
3. Get Paid or Recycle Responsibly
If your furniture is reusable, verified buyers will purchase and collect it. If not, certified recycling partners ensure every item avoids landfill. Either way, you clear your space without wasting value.
4. Why Use an Office Buyback Partner
- Speed: Quotes and responses in 24 hours.
- Trust: All partners vetted for compliance and insurance.
- Sustainability: Zero-landfill guarantee and carbon reporting available.
5. Common Myths
“Used furniture has no value.” False — many items retain 40–60 % resale value.
“Recycling is complicated.” Not when managed through a verified partner.
Office clearance doesn’t have to drain cash. By using an office buyback platform, you turn waste into revenue and demonstrate environmental responsibility at the same time.
