The office, just like any other premises can get clogged with everyday rubbish, old paperwork and files, redundant or broken electronics and office furniture as well as a bunch of other waste. The office being a workplace before all, and the place where many people receive customers and business partners should be kept clean, neat and fresh – there is no question about it. However, what happens when the situation has gone a little out of hand and there is hardly any room to turn as rubbish has taken over? Well, one such situation would call for a full scale office clearance. Don’t forget that clearing away rubbish and disused stuff from the office will also make your staff happy, if you have such, which results in increased productivity and cooperation.
When shopping around for the most suitable office clearance offer, there are a number of things to consider. First and foremost, find a company that matches your availability and gives you the shortest response and service time. You need the office clearance done within the shortest time possible, and with the least amount of distraction to staff and disruption to daily office duties. Keeping things short and sweet will reduce the overall downtime of your business and minimise, even prevent any lost profits.
Sorting through the items you need to dispose of is also advisable as you may come across things that can be sold on for small profit or recycled and reused. Most of the good property clearance companies will recycle and reuse whatever possible, they will even provide customers with a document follow-up showing where and how was waste disposed of and processed. If you have to throw out old electronics and other redundant electric equipment from the office, separate these from other waste. Why so? First of all, electronics and electric equipment are subject to specific collection and disposal regulations. Second of all, some of the electronics can be given to charities, especially if still working although outdated. If you are a small or family owned business, sorting through items destined for disposal will be easier and quicker as your guys will know what needs to be tossed out, and what needs to be kept. In the course of sorting or organising the office clearance, you may realise that you need physical data destruction as well. Simply put you need to destroy old files and information, say on paper files or old hard drives. Many office clearance companies also offer data destruction services to their commercial customers. This may seem somewhat unnecessary but internal company, staff and business dealings information should not be available to any unauthorised person, even if no longer needed and destined for disposal.
