Ask whoever you want – if you want your office to be a junk free zone, you need more than someone who takes out the trash at the end of every business day. Office clearance days are to held at least once every three-four months, thus ensuring clutter and rubbish do not take permanent residence in your work place. It will make your office a much more attractive and trustworthy looking space to your clients, but it will also help you increase the efficiency of your business process – it has been scientifically proven that a clean office increases the workers’ productivity.
You can approach the project of office clearance in two ways – you can either do that together with your staff members, or let a professional junk clearance company do the job for you. If you choose the latter, you are not going to have much to worry about. All that you will have to say is when and where you need the truck and the technicians to be, and inform the company about special preferences you might have as of the manner in which the project is to be completed. They will take care of the rest.
In case you want to save some money or you have another reason why you would rather not hire rubbish removal specialists to help you with the job, you should be properly prepared to face the challenges posted by the task. First and foremost, consider how employing your staff in the process of junk disposal will reflect on the morale in the office. If the negative consequences are to outweigh the positive ones, you’d better reconsider your decision.
If you are determined to proceed, then there are several things that you should absolutely do:
- Make an inventory of all items that are in your office. Decide what is going to stay and then make a list of everything that is going to be disposed of.
- Decide when you are going to proceed with carrying out the job once the planning is done. Is it going to be on a business day, but after work hours? The weekend? On some holiday? Think about what bonuses you are going to give to the employees who agree to help you with the job.
- In any case, you will need to hire a skip or a rubbish disposal truck, so check out the companies in your area that offer a skip for hire. The sooner you make the booking, the cheaper it is going to be, so do not leave this important step for the last moment possible.
- After the job is completed, go through the inventory list again and check if everything is okey indeed.
The general rule is that you should commence the planning of your office clearance at least several weeks before the actual day when you will carry out the job. Thus you will have enough time to prepare everything and reduce the stress and strain from the whole process.
