Decide the destination of unwanted furniture before move day. Separating removal from the items moving to your new office makes the scope and receiving arrangements clearer.
Make a keep, reuse and removal list
Walk each area and record the quantity and condition of items to retain, offer for reuse or send to a receiving facility. Confirm ownership and any landlord requirements. Mark destinations on the inventory so an item intended for removal is not delivered to a new workstation.
Arrange acceptance before collection
A buyer or donation recipient may have limits on condition, dimensions, collection time and accepted quantities. Get those details in writing before scheduling transport. Record who receives the items and which acknowledgments are available; do not assume resale proceeds, tax treatment or donation receipts.
Separate electronics and data-bearing devices
Ask the appropriate receiving facility about electronic equipment and batteries. Refer to CalRecycle’s electronics guidance. Your IT team should approve data handling before a device leaves; NIST’s media sanitization guidance provides a technical reference for that decision.
Scope the actual removal work
Document furniture disassembly, loading access, transport destinations and the building’s final inspection requirements. Agree any requested recycling or destruction documentation before work starts. BMG confirms the services and deliverables it can provide in the written scope.
Check the handoff
Reconcile the removal list and record any outstanding items with the responsible contact. See our decommissioning service if the old office also needs a documented handback plan.
