One of the most common things that happen during office moving is wastage. Wastage happens either because of improper planning of packing and moving or lack of efficiency while performing the packing and moving tasks.
Below are some of the tips that will help you in reducing wastage and moving your office efficiently.
Management of Boxes
Some companies buy boxes especially for moving. This is one form of waste where money is wasted. The best way of getting boxes is by saving them a month before your office move. If you get boxes with the items you buy then simply do not throw them out.
Another way of getting free boxes is by contacting the nearest grocery stores or retailers. Many stores are kind enough to give out used empty boxes for free. Once you have used the boxes and moved to a new office location, do not forget to recycle those boxes.
Packing Materials
While most companies get bubble wrap and special packing material for wrapping and for filling up empty spaces in the boxes, another great alternative is using newspaper. Fragile items can be easily wrapped with newspaper and this is a cost effective alternative that will save up some money on packing material.
Dispose Appropriately
When you move out of your current office, make sure that all the hazardous materials are disposed appropriately. Such materials might include unused paint, cleaning sprays and other hazardous items. Your local waste management company will guide you best in these matters.
Donations
If there are some items that you do not want to move to your new office – do not just throw them away on a sidewalk. It is best to donate such items to some charity. If you think there are some items that are too valuable to be donated, consider selling them online.
