Reports of New York City’s real estate “death” have been greatly exaggerated. As any lifelong New Yorker knows, nothing can keep this city down for very long!
Some of our real estate titans, including Mary Ann Tighe (CBRE), Larry Silverstein (Silverstein Properties), and Steve Durels (SL Green), predict that the market will continue to rebound, leasing activity will continue to rise, and that the flood of new sublease space will continue to subside.
But with over 75 million square feet of commercial space coming to lease end within the next 3 to 5 years, one thing is certain; there is sure to be excess and unwanted office furniture coming to market.
According to the EPA, up to 9 million tons of office furniture end up in landfills every single year. For years, organizations simply didn’t have access to eco-friendly office furniture removal services. Desks, chairs, cabinets, bookcases – these are present in NYC’s landfills in overwhelming amounts. But what if it didn’t have to be this way? What if there was a way to repurpose surplus office furniture and reduce your organization’s environmental footprint?
That’s exactly why GOL was developed!
We realized that the vast amounts of office furniture being disposed of in landfills are contributing heavily to the globe’s environmental crisis: greenhouse gases, toxins in the soil, and water pollution from landfill leachate. Not only is excess waste poisoning the Earth, but it’s also impacting the health of NYC’s inhabitants. If things were to change, companies needed access to green office furniture liquidators that are committed to helping increase a more sustainable environment. That’s where we come in.
GOL has been providing clients with fully sustainable, cost-effective office liquidations that have saved countless tons of furniture from their usual fate inside a landfill.
Whether GOL is involved in a commercial office move or helping with the disposition of surplus office furniture, our mission is to provide companies near NYC with the opportunity to resell, recycle, or donate their office furnishings and equipment to non-profits. This enables businesses to repurpose office furniture in an eco-friendly way.
-
Recycle: Through specialized office furniture recycling, a variety of items can be processed and their materials are reintroduced into the manufacturing cycle.
-
Resale: We can assist in the resale of office supplies. Generate revenue for your business and increase the product’s lifecycle.
-
Donation: By donating office furniture to non-profits, a product’s lifecycle is increased. Reusing office furniture is an excellent way to keep waste out of landfills, avoid dumping costs and benefit charities.
What’s more, GOL is dedicated to the fight against animal cruelty. We donate a portion of our monthly revenue to the ASPCA. We are honored to help the ASPCA provide medical attention, nutritional care and love to abused and homeless animals.
By partnering with GOL, organizations experience an enhanced “win-win.” non-profit organizations benefit from donations, you save money on your projects through furniture resale or via tax-deductible furniture donations and you, aren’t contributing to the landfill dilemma!
Everything around us in the world is changing, and time is long overdue for a shift in the way office furniture removal is performed. There has been a national shift towards eco-friendly corporate practices, and more companies than ever are looking for green office furniture removal. As a result of this shift, we have been experiencing unparalleled interest in our services.
In the past 6 weeks alone, GOL successfully helped relocate and liquidate two commercial spaces of approximately 25,000 square feet at no cost to the client! Between GOL’s donation network, resale team and metals recycling, we delivered an unparalleled level of service that not only was free but also accomplished the goal in doing our part to help save our planet.
