Take a look around your office and observe all of your furniture. You might see desks, chairs, case goods, workstations and more. Can you imagine what would happen to all of the landfills if everyone just dumped half of their office furniture out.<\/p>\n

It is important to reduce the strain on our landfills. The BIFMA or Business and Institutional Furniture Manufacturers Association stated that in a survey that approximately half of the scrap at present ends up in landfills. Most of this type of waste is still in good condition.<\/p>\n

The problem is that when most companies move, they opt to buy brand new furniture for their new office. It makes sense. After all, who would want to put old beat up furniture into a brand new office space.<\/p>\n

You can re0upholster and replace missing parts. It’s simple and inexpensive to restore used furniture to look like new. This can save precious growth dollars, and our economies resources.<\/p>\n

The EPA estimates, that many business organizations dump almost 3 million<\/a> tons of used furniture and furnishings every year. Given the 1995 nationwide average fee for dumping, (32 dollars per ton), 100 million dollars<\/a> could have been saved. The OFRF in Virginia also reports that re-manufacturing or refurbishing only 40 workstations can divert one trailer load of used furniture from the landfills.<\/p>\n

For every one pound of natural resources spent on refurbishing furniture, up to five pounds can be saved. For each workstation that is saved from the landfill, over 800 pounds of waste and scrap can be saved. Besides the large savings, using used furniture becomes a no brainer.<\/p>\n

You can find available used office furniture almost anywhere these days. In the past used furniture has gotten a bad wrap. People have a certain image in their mind about it, but it is just not true.<\/p>\n

It’s easy to remanufacture office furniture. The manufactures make tons of replacement parts and the dealers have become quite proficient when it comes to swapping the pieces out.<\/p>\n

The process can be broken down to a science. The bottom line is that it can save the end user a ton of money. You get what you pay for in life, but the first owner<\/a> is the one who usually pays for most of it.<\/p>\n

If you have struggled with the cost of new office furniture, then you might consider buying used office furniture. Used office furniture can definitely help you manage costs easily.<\/p>\n

Office furniture can make up over half of the total expense of launching a business in a commercial or retail office space. Therefore, it can and will be one of the most important beginning financial decisions of your company. Take your time on this one and do your homework.<\/p>\n
