The importance of recycling waste at the end of your lease
When you are vacating a leased property, landlords or property managers typically expect the space to be returned to its original condition. This can involve removing furniture, fixtures, and other materials left behind. This process is often called a makegood, named after the corresponding clause in your original contract.
Recycling the waste that this process products instead of sending it to landfill not only helps meet lease obligations but also contributes to environmental sustainability. Ensuring that the waste in question is recycled or repurposed becomes much easier when you hire a Sydney rubbish removal company like Sydney City Rubbish.
Sustainable solutions are essential
Recycling junk and waste at the end of a lease is a practical way to reduce the environmental impact of your move and your overall organisation. As mentioned earlier, there are plenty of items, such as furniture, shelving, and fixtures, that can be repurposed or recycled to avoid contributing to landfill. Our dedicated waste removal experts will ensure that recyclable materials are sorted and processed responsibly, supporting a circular economy and helping clients minimise their carbon footprint.
What does end-of-lease waste include?
End-of-lease waste can take many forms, depending on the type of business and the premises that is being vacated. For example, an office space is going to produce much different waste to a warehouse or a retail space. Properly identifying and categorising all of the junk items in your workplace is crucial for efficient removal and recycling.
Furniture
Office desks, chairs, conference tables, and reception seating are common items left behind during an office move or closure. In retail or hospitality settings, counters, shelving units, and seating are often thrown away, particularly when a business chooses to purchase new items. These items may be bulky but can often be recycled or repurposed if handled correctly.
Finishes and fixtures
When you need to meet your makegood obligation, you’ll often need to remove finishes and fixtures like carpets, tiles, light fittings, and other materials. These materials can be challenging to dispose of, but the good news is that many of them are recyclable. For example, metal fixtures can be recycled at scrap facilities or even reused, and certain flooring materials can be processed for reuse.
Storage and shelving
Warehouses and offices frequently have extensive shelving and storage systems that need dismantling. That may even include hundreds of metres of very high storage shelves that need to be dismantled and removed. These items are often made of metal, wood, or plastic, which can be recycled with the appropriate facilities and expertise.
Miscellaneous items
When a business is preparing to vacate and needs end of lease recycling, we find a huge array of waste items. From outdated electronics to kitchen appliances, miscellaneous waste often accumulates at the end of a lease. E-waste, in particular, requires specialised recycling to recover valuable materials like metals and plastics while disposing of hazardous components responsibly. At Sydney City Rubbish, our team has you covered.
