How UK Businesses Can Cut Office Clearance Costs by Offsetting Removal with Furniture Buyback
Office Clearances Don’t Have to Cost the Earth — or Your Budget
If your company is moving, downsizing, or refurbishing, you’ve probably been quoted a small fortune for office clearance. Most firms treat it as a waste removal job — charge you by the van load, and everything ends up down the disposal route.
But at Coggin Sustainable Office Solutions (Coggin SOS), we take a smarter approach. We know that most “waste” still holds value. Good desks, quality chairs, and functional storage units can be reused or refurbished — and that value can be used to offset your clearance costs.
How Our Office Clearance & Buyback Service Works
- We assess your site.
Our team reviews the furniture you want removed and identifies what can be reused or resold. - We assign a buyback value.
Items with resale potential are valued, and that figure is applied as a discount against your removal quote. - We handle everything else.
Our logistics team clears your space, segregates recyclable materials, and ensures zero landfill — while your invoice already reflects your savings. Many clients save 20–40% on their total clearance cost, simply because their surplus furniture has been reintroduced into reuse rather than wasted.
The Financial Logic of Buyback
Think of buyback as the opposite of waste disposal. Instead of paying for everything to leave, you’re being credited for items that still hold commercial value.
For example, a 100-desk office with mid-range furniture could see:
- £3,000–£5,000 recovered through buyback value
- Equivalent savings of £2,000+ on transport and recycling costs
- Zero landfill certificates for ESG reporting
It’s simple economics. The more you reuse, the less you pay.
