What we do
Filing Cabinet Removal & Disposal
Filing Cabinet removal
We are able to take filing cabinets and lots of other household and office furniture. The sack trucks our teams carry enable them to transport filing cabinets without difficulty from an office, even if they contain documents. A filing cabinet measures about 0.5 – 1 cubic yard. Of course it depends on the amount of drawers. Typically a four draw filing cabinet measures about 0.7 cubic yards.
Recycling Filing Cabinets
The majority of filing cabinets are made of wood, which means we are able to recycle all of it. If filing cabinets are left in great condition, they can be re-used and sent off to be re-used. From homes or offices, we can come and collect your filing cabinets. We can clear out other office furniture too including desks, office chairs, and computer equipment.

From the initial call to the final disposal note, we aim for a smooth, no-surprise process.
