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.

One Size Doesn't Fit All: The Benefits of Resizing and Repurposing Office Desks

By Ida Gorecka • September 8, 2025
Your office transformation is approved. Budget's signed off. New layout's finalised. There's just one problem: those 1600mm executive desks that worked perfectly in the old corner offices are now 400mm too wide for your new collaborative pods. The reception desk you spent £3,000 on last year? It's the wrong height entirely for your rebrand. Most facilities managers would see this as a disposal problem. Skip hire , landfill tax , 12-week lead times for replacements. But what if that's completely backwards? What if the furniture that doesn't fit isn't a problem to solve, but an asset to unlock? Every year in the UK, around 1.2 million desks and 1.8 million office chairs are sent to landfill and only 14 % of them are being reused (Source: WRAP , Lancashire Business View ). Those old, "wrong-sized" desks you're planning to skip? They can be professionally refurbished and resized to your exact specifications in 7-10 days , at 40-70% less than new , with zero waste and a 12-month warranty . This article is for facilities managers, procurement leads, and fit-out teams who want practical, product-focused solutions. You’ll see when resizing and repurposing makes sense, the savings it delivers, the compliance boxes it ticks, and how to roll it out step by step. Curious what your current desks could deliver if resized or refurbished? Book a free assessment - we’ll map options, costs, and timelines for you.

Why Paying More Isn't Always Better: The Smart Choice of Refurbished Ergonomic Chairs

By Ida Gorecka • August 19, 2025
Refitting an office today means juggling a lot: tighter budgets, faster timelines, and pressure to deliver on ESG goals. And when it comes to ergonomic chairs, the one piece of furniture an office team relies on every day, many assume paying more for “new” automatically means better. But that’s no longer true. Refurbished ergonomic chairs offer the same comfort , durability , and support as new, backed by warranties , come with less cost and with far shorter lead times . For facilities and procurement teams, that means more budget freed up for other priorities, and fewer delays holding back your project. At Coggin SOS, we work with organisations that once assumed refurbished meant second-best. Until they saw the results. High-performance, fully warranted ergonomic chairs. Fast delivery. Circular outcomes they could actually report on. And savings of up to 80% compared to new (check out our case studies here ). In this article, you’ll learn what refurbished office chairs really offer in practice, why they’re becoming a preferred option for FM teams and procurement leads, and how your next fit-out or move could be both greener and smarter than you think. Thinking about your next office project? Contact our team and see how premium refurbished ergonomic chairs can give you comfort, savings, and sustainability in one.

By Ida Gorecka • August 7, 2025
If you're here, you're probably managing a lot. A relocation, a refurbishment, or a growing ESG brief. Maybe you’re under pressure to meet sustainability targets, stay on budget, and deliver results your team and clients can actually see. And right now, office furniture might not be on your radar. But it should be. In most organisations, furniture is still treated as an afterthought. It’s functional, it’s bulky, and when it’s no longer needed, it’s often sent straight to landfill. But here’s the truth: when you start thinking of office furniture as a strategic asset within the circular economy , everything changes. For your budget . Your carbon reporting . Your project timelines . Your reputation . This article is for you if you’re tired of defaulting to skips. If you want smarter ways to meet ESG goals without blowing your budget. If you’re ready to make office sustainability a measurable advantage - not just a checkbox. We’ll show you just how much office furniture is wasted each year, what it’s really costing your business, and how the circular economy can apply directly to your projects. You’ll learn how organisations like yours are saving thousands, avoiding skips entirely, and turning unwanted furniture into reportable ESG wins - plus practical steps to get started today.
