Partnering with Recycling Companies for End-to-End Office Relocation Solutions

Ida Gorecka • January 31, 2025

As a removal company, you've mastered the logistics of moving offices. But nowadays, clients want more than just moving services - they're looking for complete solutions that combine professional relocation with sustainable options for their used office furniture. Whether it's office furniture clearance, recycling programs, or finding homes for second-hand office furniture near them, businesses need comprehensive end-to-end solutions. If your clients are asking about sustainable furniture disposal options, contact us to discuss a removal partnership program.


At Coggin, we've developed specialist processes that can turn this challenge into an opportunity for your business.

How We Support Your Removal Processes

When your clients ask about furniture disposal during an office move, you can now offer them a complete solution. Our zero-landfill guarantee and recycling processes integrate seamlessly with your removal services, turning a common client concern into additional revenue. Whether it's clearance, recycling, or refurbishment, we handle everything after you've moved the furniture they want to keep.


No additional staff needed. No extra equipment to buy. Just a straightforward way to increase your project values while solving a major pain point for your clients.

Professional Office Furniture Refurbishment Services


Our refurbishment service offers two valuable options: breathing new life into your clients' existing furniture they wish to keep, or refurbishing their unwanted second-hand office furniture for resale. In both cases, we strip everything down to the frame, replace worn components, rebuild mechanisms, and restore finishes. This approach means your clients can either save on replacement costs by refurbishing their current office furniture, or support the circular economy by having unwanted pieces professionally restored for reuse .Want to offer furniture refurbishment as part of your services? Get in touch with us to find out more and how this could work alongside your business.

Comprehensive Second-Hand Office Furniture Recycling Process


For office furniture that can't be refurbished, we operate an end-to-end recycling operation. Our facility breaks down office furniture into specific material streams:


For plastics, we use specialised processing to create reusable materials. Metal components are separated and processed for remanufacturing. Wood elements are responsibly recycled, and foam is processed through dedicated recycling streams. Everything is tracked and documented, providing complete transparency for your clients

Documentation That Adds Value to Your Business

The market is changing. Clients increasingly need to prove their environmental credentials. Think about the last client you worked with. They probably had strict environmental policies and needed ESG documentation for everything. By partnering with Coggin SOS, you can offer a complete, documented, environmentally responsible solution.


We handle all the complex parts. Every piece of second-hand office furniture that comes to our facility is professionally assessed. Quality items are refurbished to original manufacturer specifications, complete with a 12-month warranty. Everything else goes through our zero-landfill recycling process, with materials carefully separated and processed. Your clients get detailed documentation showing exactly how their furniture was handled, including Savings Certificates and reports.


Need to offer documented recycling services to win more corporate contracts? Get in touch with our team today and let’s discuss the best way forward.

How It Works In Practice

Let's say you're quoting for an office move. During your site survey, you spot that about 40% of their furniture won't be making the journey. Instead of seeing this as a problem, you now have an opportunity to offer additional value.


We provide you with simple assessment tools and guidelines. You don't need to become a furniture expert - we handle all the technical details. Just identify what's moving and what isn't. On moving day, everything happens smoothly. Furniture for the new office goes in your vehicles as usual. Anything that's not moving comes to our facility.


Your client gets one point of contact, one invoice, and complete peace of mind knowing everything is being handled responsibly and sustainably. 

Start Offering More with Your Removal Services

The days of simply moving office furniture from A to B are fading. Today's clients want - and increasingly need - complete solutions that include responsible furniture disposal. Many removal companies in the UK are already adapting to this change, winning more contracts and building stronger client relationships through comprehensive service offerings.


Want to enhance your removal services? Let's discuss how a partnership with Coggin SOS can help you offer more to your clients. Our team can walk you through exactly how our processes work and how they integrate with your existing services. Contact us today to explore how we can work together.


Remember, when your clients ask about their old furniture, you want to be able to say "yes, we have a complete, professional solution for that." Let's make that possible together.

How Facilities Services Can Contribute to a Circular Economy with Furniture Recycling

By Ida Gorecka • February 11, 2025
Our approach to furnishing workspaces is changing as part of a collective effort to reverse the projected 70% increase in global waste by 2050 . Design trends are constantly changing, and as companies race to keep up it can be challenging to keep up with the newest trends in office furniture. However, this constant cycle results in millions of office furniture pieces getting unnecessarily discarded every year when, with the right expertise, they could be repurposed, reused, or recycled. What can we do to reverse this trend? Facility Managers must help to embed circular economy thought processes into procurement and disposal strategies, across the entire supply chain. While recycling paper and reducing energy consumption are common strategies, one area that is often overlooked as a source of sustainable credentials is office furniture. By embracing furniture recycling and refurbishment , facility managers can make smarter , more sustainable choices that help reduce waste, cut costs, and ensure premium-quality office designs, often without the lengthy lead times that accompany new furniture purchases. If you haven’t considered refurbished furniture before, you are in the right place to discover why they should be your obvious choice for your next project. But even if you have considered it, keep reading for valuable insights into how refurbished furniture can improve sustainability initiatives, maximise cost savings, and support long-term business goals.
