[Iscn-members] Re-purposing cubicles and office furniture

[WORTMAN David * DAS]

All:

I wanted to pass along this link for a resource if you are doing or planning any office remodeling in response to post-Covid workplace design. Our state Surplus has had a very difficult time finding homes for some things such as cubicle dividers - this is one solution that can keep materials out of landfill and potentially generate some cost savings. They can resell, reuse, recycle or relocate resources for you.

DHS has used this service and I have some documentation I can share if anyone is more interested. Glen from DHS may also want to chime in on their experience. I have attached an example of the "Decommission Certificate" they provide that documents outcomes.

Please share with your agency facilities folks.

Thanks all,

Dave
