When You Need Furniture Removal for Property Managers and Landlords Property management can be a demanding job. Being a landlord or commercial property manager requires a broad and varied skill set to accomplish the wide range of tasks, duties, and responsibilities of the role. And what are these? Here’s a short list: Determine the rental price. Advertise rental vacancies. Screen and approve tenants. Prepare and enforce a lease agreement. Handle tenant complaints and issues. Collect and adjust the rent. Take care of property maintenance and repairs. Prepare vacant units for rental. These last two items in particular can require the help of outside resources and vendors. This is especially true when there are items to be cleaned out or removed, such as furniture removal. This is why Junk King San Diego Downtown specializes in furniture removal. Yes, Green Furniture Removal is a Thing With the rise of the coronavirus pandemic and the subsequent move by many organizations to shut down offices and transition to a remote workforce, much has changed for commercial property managers and landlords. However, it’s a mixed bag when it comes to leasing, vacancies, and prospects on the post-COVID horizon. According to a recent news story, “Downtown is currently home to 12.3 million square feet of office space. More than 19 percent of the inventory is vacant, according to data supplied by commercial brokerage Jones Lang LaSalle. When factoring in all of the space currently being offered for lease, including inventory under construction and sublease opportunities, there is nearly 5 million square feet of office space available for the taking — or more than 40 percent of downtown’s available stock.” As some firms decide to stay with their new work paradigm of less leased space and more remote workers, properties will need to be cleared out and made ready for new tenants. Yet, as new office space comes available because of the recent surge in construction, many businesses that relocate to these new facilities will opt to leave their old furniture behind. All of which points to an ongoing and possibly increasing need for commercial junk removal, cleanouts, and furniture removal. And almost none of this junk material has to end up in our local landfills. Which is one of the core values of the Junk King corporate vision and mission. When it comes to furniture removal, reuse and recycling should be primary options. Resume is simply finding a new home for old furniture so that it doesn’t end up being thrown out. And recycling, of course, is taking old furniture and using its components to make new goods that can be sold again. And recycling is definitely a viable option because so much of what goes into office furniture is recyclable. While there can be non-reusable materials inside of some furniture pieces, the good news is that most furniture can be recycled most of the time. However, the default choice of too many business owners, property managers, and landlords is to simply have old furniture (and other items) hauled off to a landfill. But adding to the few remaining - and rapidly filling - local landfills isn't really the best choice. So, why do we believe so strongly in the benefits of recycling your old furniture? Recycling conserves limited natural resources, which is critical as populations increase Recycling can conserve up to 95 percent of the water used to produce many materials Recycling prevents waste from going into the ground (and groundwater) and our oceans It helps protect our forests, which, in turn, helps to reduce CO2 emissions It lowers our use of fossil fuel energy, further reducing CO2 emissions Whether it's simply a matter of needing to downsize and getting rid of some office furniture, or you must replace old residential furniture in a rental property, recycling these pieces is really the best option. Calling Junk King San Diego Downtown as a cost saving measure Pricing structures vary among different junk hauling companies as do the prices themselves.
