Measured against the floorplan, with a location on arrival so nothing is stacked in a corridor while somebody works out where it goes.
Business
Office churn is where the waste actually is
A single department move can put a hundred usable task chairs into a skip — not through carelessness, but because nobody costed the alternative before the deadline arrived.
Most office moves decide what's coming by looking at the new floorplan and working backwards. That tells you what fits. It doesn't tell you what you have, and the difference between those two is where the waste sits.
An asset inventory taken before the plan is finalised changes the conversation entirely. Organisations regularly discover they already own eighty compliant task chairs a fortnight after ordering sixty new ones.
The method
Split by destination, not by category
The useful split isn't 'desks, chairs, IT'. It's where each item is going — which is a question with four answers, not two.
Usable and surplus to the new layout. The money is modest and market-dependent — we will not promise a return, only that it does not go to landfill.
Genuinely finished, or regulated waste on a specific route. WEEE-covered equipment goes through a licensed channel with documentation.
Needed later, or held while a phased fit-out completes. Containerised, so it is loaded once rather than handled in and out of a warehouse.
IT, WEEE and data
Electrical and electronic equipment is regulated waste. It has to go through a licensed route, and that route produces documentation you should ask for and keep.
Separate the usable kit from the finished kit before anything is collected. And make sure data-bearing devices are handled under your own information-security policy rather than assumed to be somebody else's responsibility once they're on a van — that assumption is how organisations end up explaining themselves.
Working around your operation
Out-of-hours and weekend working is normal for us rather than a premium exception. Crate hire is scaled to the floorplate and delivered to your schedule, which for a phased move usually means several deliveries and several collections rather than one of each.
The records your reporting needs
If your organisation reports on waste or on scope-three emissions, a relocation is a reportable event and the underlying records have to come from somewhere.
We give you the asset inventory, the destination split, the waste transfer notes and the WEEE documentation. We don't write your sustainability report, and we'd be suspicious of a remover who offered to — the point is that you get real records to write it from.
