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.

Why Buying Cheap Costs More: The Long-Term Value of Quality Refurbished Furniture

By Ida Gorecka • July 30, 2025
You’re in the middle of planning an office space. Budgets are tight. Lead times are short. It’s tempting to type “cheap office chairs” into your browser and find something that fits the spreadsheet. But here’s the problem: cheap furniture is rarely cheap in the long run . The market is saturated with budget desks, chairs, and storage that look good online, but fall apart in practice. And when they do, they cost more - more to replace, more to dispose of, more to fix (if that’s even possible), and more in lost time and productivity. It’s a vicious cycle that undermines your budget, timeline, and any potential ESG goals. According to WRAP , the UK disposes of over 200,000 tonnes of office furniture every year - much of it barely used. When furniture fails quickly, so does your investment. In a commercial setting, that failure shows up in missed deadlines, spiralling budgets, and sustainability goals slipping out of reach. So before you hit "order" on another bulk buy of flat-packed furniture, take a moment. In this article, you'll learn the hidden costs of cheap office furniture and why refurbished premium office furniture is the smarter alternative. If you're looking to reduce hassle, save money, and build a workspace that actually lasts, keep on reading. Need help getting started?

Refurbished Office Furniture Saves Overbury Over £2000 on Site Setup Costs

By Ida Gorecka • July 18, 2025
Anyone who's worked in construction knows that site setup costs can quickly spiral. For Overbury , one of the UK's leading fit-out and refurbishment specialists, managing these costs while maintaining professional standards is a constant balancing act. When setting up their latest construction site office, they faced a challenge familiar to many in the industry: creating a functional workspace quickly and cost-effectively. After seeing what we achieved together on their previous project, Overbury approached us with clear priorities - they needed a professional office setup delivered on a construction timeline. With tight deadlines to meet and costs to manage, they needed their office space ready quickly while avoiding the expense and environmental impact of buying new office furniture. Like many construction projects, this one came with complex requirements - specific layouts, tight timelines, and budget constraints - yet Overbury knew from experience that refurbished office furniture could deliver exactly what they needed.

From Purchase to Repurpose: How to Extend the Lifespan of Your Office Furniture

By Ida Gorecka • July 16, 2025
If you're managing an office move, refit, or hybrid transition, you've likely faced this question: do we buy new furniture, or make use of what we have? Every year, over 1.2 million desks and 1.8 million office chairs are sent to landfill in the UK- enough to fill Wembley Stadium twice. ( Source: WRAP ) With Landfill Tax raised to £126.15 per tonne in April 2025 (S ource: UK Government ), the cost of disposing office furniture is increasing fast. If you’re trying to balance budgets , meet ESG goals , and minimise downtime , choosing refurbishment over replacement could be the most strategic decision you make this year. In this guide, we’ll show you how to get more from what you already own. Saving thousands, supporting your ESG goals, and creating a more flexible, future-proof workspace. Got a project coming up?
