Interchange are committed to protecting the environment wherever we are able to do so.To this end we have implemented systems to recycle via various waste streams.

Office Furniture

Once your office furniture and equipment reaches the end of it's useful life we can work with you to explore the options for disposal, whether it be recycling, resale, reuse, or sending to auction. Where re-use options are not viable we will remove surplus furniture from site again via our Bristol warehouse to our recycling centre with the same transport utilisation where possible. The furniture is then dismantled and recycled as shown in our furniture reprocessing flowchart. We are sensitive to the cost issues of recycling to our clients and we work with various charities and voluntary organisations supplying them with serviceable furniture products at low cost.

IT and Electrical Equipment

IT waste is returned to our warehouse where it is sorted, logged and sent in to our IT recyclers for processing.  Our IT recycling programme is fully compliant with the EC Directive on Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE Regulations)and less than 1% goes into landfill.

Packaging and General

Wrapping waste within our furniture installation activities is sorted and bagged on site, returned via our Bristol warehouse to our recycling centre utilising transport that is already delivering to our premises. This has the added benefit of not generating additional use of precious resources.

Interchange are licensed with the Environment Agency as a waste broker, licence number ENW/029456, and are able to collect your surplus items for sorting and recycling.
