Time to Remodel - What to do with the old office stuff?

Kids Thank You.jpgHave you found that it is time to remodel your office or business, but you don't know what to do with all of the "old stuff"? The cubicles, the chairs, the desks, filing cabinets, etc. need a new home, but have you found that you don't know where to start? Sometimes a remodel includes a re-branding, too! So, what do you do with all of the wrong color of card stock, paper stock that has an outdated logo, and office supplies you no longer need?

Well, we have the answer, at least a few options available in the Twin Cities metro area, for you to consider as you tackle that next remodel project!

In this blog post, you will learn:

  • Available options for recycling business furniture, supplies, and materials
  • Links to available options

After attending an Apple Valley Chamber of Commerce ribbon cutting recently, I spoke with the Dean of Students at FIT Academy, Tamra Paschall. I was delighted to find out that there are options for Minnesota businesses to donate unused and no longer needed office equipment and supplies.
