Benefits of Choosing Refurbished Office Furniture


There are numerous advantages to opting for refurbished office furniture, including:


  1. Cost-effectiveness: Refurbished furniture offers a more affordable option compared to purchasing brand new items, allowing organisations to allocate funds to other essential aspects of their operations.
  2. Environmental impact: Choosing refurbished furniture significantly reduces the demand for new resources and raw materials, leading to a decrease in the overall environmental impact of the manufacturing process.
  3. Waste reduction: By refurbishing existing furniture, organisations can prevent functional items from ending up in landfills, thereby reducing waste and contributing to a circular economy.


Zero-Landfill Office Clearance: A Step Towards a Greener Future


One of the main objectives of Lancashire Teaching Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust is to reduce its waste generation and minimise the impact on the environment. Coggin's zero-landfill office clearance service plays a pivotal role in helping the Trust achieve this goal. By reusing, recycling, or repurposing office materials and furniture, Coggin ensures that no waste ends up in landfills, thereby promoting a more sustainable future.
