Three online directories can help you locate recycled office furniture dealers in your area. ReSources.com lists brokers of used, refurbished and remanufactured furniture in its ReCycled Furniture Directory. There is also an inventory of used furniture on the website. I clicked into “Seating” and found like-new conference tables and files, and office chairs with full warrantees from Herman Miller and Kohl.
You can also browse through the Furniture Dealer Directory at Workspace Resources for recycled office furniture dealers and refurbishers, or the Office Furniture Recycler’s Forum’s member directory.
Interior designers routinely request samples to help clients choose textiles. What can be done with these materials at the end of a project? The Association of Contract Textiles Sample Return and Reuse Program places sample-deposit boxes with hundreds of design firms. Designers ship full boxes to a North Carolina nonprofit, Watauga Opportunities, that sends the samples back to their manufacturers and mails the participating design firm a replacement collection box.
