Office cleanouts with the route worked out first

Plan desks, seating, storage, break-room contents, and released electronics by room so the team knows what moves, what stays, and how it reaches the loading point.

Questions about office cleanouts

Do desks and file cabinets need to be empty?

Yes. Emptying furniture prevents personal property, records, and retained items from being removed by mistake and makes the load safer to handle.

Can electronics go with office furniture?

List electronics separately. Data-bearing devices require IT release, and some displays or components may need an approved electronics-recycling route.

What access details matter most?

Share the narrowest doorway, stair count, elevator opening and capacity, loading distance, parking rules, and the hours when the route is available.
