Zero-Waste Office Solutions Built for the Circular Economy
Divert commercial waste, fulfill your ESG mandates, and power local workforce development through our integrated social enterprise network.
When commercial leases end, offices downsize, or facilities undergo renovations, managing leftover furniture and fixtures becomes an urgent logistical challenge. Traditional junk haulers often take the easiest path: hauling heavy commercial desks, metal filing cabinets, cubicles, and materials directly to local landfills.
At Furnish Office & Home, we offer a smarter, greener, and more ethical alternative.
By pairing our showroom operations with our sister social enterprises—Second Chance Removal and Second Chance Recycling—we deliver a complete, zero-headache disposal and green recycling loop for Twin Cities organizations.
How Our Ecosystem Works
Professional Removal & Decommissioning (Second Chance Removal): Disposal starts with seamless logistics. Second Chance Removal handles every aspect of your office clear-out—including dismantling systems cubicles, removing heavy desks and seating, and performing light demolition work. We operate around your business schedule, offering flexible after-hours and weekend removals to ensure zero disruption to your daily operations or landlord handover timelines.
Maximize Reuse & Resale (Furnish Office & Home): Landfills are always our absolute last resort. Commercial furniture from top manufacturers is built to last for decades. During a cleanout, high-quality, reusable assets are selectively funneled to our Minneapolis showroom floor at Furnish Office & Home. Here, they are restored and made available to local startups, schools, nonprofits, and home-office workers at a fraction of retail prices.
Ethical Breakdown & Green Recycling (Second Chance Recycling): What happens to items that are damaged, obsolete, or beyond their usable lifecycle? Instead of sending them to the dump, un-reusable wood, metal, and textile components are processed through Second Chance Recycling. Originally founded in 2008 as a pioneering mattress recycling enterprise, Second Chance Recycling has expanded its footprint alongside Furnish and Second Chance Removal under the EMERGE Community Development umbrella. Today, they process and divert tons of commercial metal, foam, and wood waste annually—turning bulk commercial surplus into raw materials for new products.
