Covering Craigneuk, Jerviston and Ravenscraig, and every Motherwell postcode. Desks, task chairs, pedestals, meeting tables and storage collected from Motherwell offices and put back into use where they can be — through charity and reuse partners — with the rest stripped for metal, wood and plastic recycling. You get a collection date, a crew that does the carrying and a document trail for the audit.
Most office furniture is thrown away because nobody has time to find it a home. That is what this service fixes. We collect the furniture from your Motherwell premises, sort it on the van, and route it: good pieces to reuse organisations and community groups, the rest to recyclers who take the steel, chipboard and foam apart. It is cheaper than a skip and it looks a great deal better in the sustainability report.
A floor of thirty desks is several tonnes of chipboard, steel and plastic. Put it in a skip and it goes to a transfer station as mixed waste. Charities will take some of it, but only if it arrives clean, matching and on a day they can staff, and they will not come and dismantle a bank of desks for you.
The furniture also has a value that vanishes the moment it is broken up. Task chairs, height-adjustable desks and steel storage all have a second life in start-ups, community halls, schools and charities across Motherwell. Our job is to get it there in one piece and to recycle honestly what cannot be reused.
We went hybrid and had forty desks and chairs doing nothing. They collected over two evenings, found a home for most of the chairs with a community project, and sent us a summary for the ESG report. Cheaper than the skip quote and nothing went to landfill.
Hybrid working left half the desks empty. We collect the surplus and find it a home.
Old furniture out before the new fit-out lands, on a date that suits the programme.

Commercial work in Motherwell sits alongside a varied housing stock and the trade that serves it. Motherwell is steel-town housing: terraces and tenements around the centre, post-war schemes at Muirhouse, Forgewood and Craigneuk, semis at Jerviston, and new estates at Ravenscraig.
The parts of Motherwell we know best are Jerviston, inter-war semis with gardens and garages; Ravenscraig, new housing on the old steelworks site; Ladywell, flats and terraces near the centre; Muirhouse, post-war housing where landlord clearances are common.
Netherton in Wishaw is the nearest North Lanarkshire recycling centre for most of Motherwell. North Lanarkshire Council's special uplift service takes bulky items. Commercial waste is not accepted at any household site, so a licensed collection with a waste transfer note is the only route. Our North Lanarkshire Council Bulky Uplift 2026 — Costs, Lead Time, Limits has the detail.
On access: Brandon Parade and the centre are restricted; the estates are fine. Garage clearances in Motherwell often mean a lifetime of tools.
Office furniture recycling in Motherwell starts at £75 for a small batch. A small office of up to ten desks with chairs and pedestals is typically £150 to £300, a medium office £300 to £700, and a full floor from £700, phased over evenings if the building needs it. Furniture that can be reused reduces the cost, because reuse is cheaper for us than recycling.
Sometimes, in part. If the furniture is in good condition and a reuse partner can take a batch, we pass it on and the collection price reflects that. What we cannot do is make a whole floor free — dismantling, carrying and transport still have to be paid for, and charities cannot absorb damaged or mismatched items.
Task chairs in working order, desks with intact tops and frames, steel storage, meeting tables and reception seating are the most reusable. Chipboard desks with damaged edges, screens with electronics and worn soft seating usually go for recycling. We tell you which is which before the collection.
