Office Cleanout Services: Furniture and Electronics Disposal

Mar 25, 2021

If you are moving out of an old office or renovating your existing workspace, Count Junkula can help get rid of all of your junk and clutter.


Many companies are opting to downsize their corporate space as the popularity of remote working takes hold. During the past year, Americans were forced to telework to stay safe, and many workers plan to continue to work remotely. At the height of the pandemic in the spring, more than 71 percent of people who could work remotely were logging on from home, or joining zoom calls full time, a survey of 5,858 people by Pew Research Center revealed. And, more than half of those people would prefer to work remotely permanently. More than 97 percent of workers would prefer to work from home at least some of the time, according to the 2021 State of Remote Work, an online survey of 2,300 people working remotely.


The flexible schedule, short commute, and increase in family time are compelling some companies to consider ditching their brick-and-mortar locations and have virtual corporate offices. While most companies still plan to keep their corporate office, many are renting out unused space and encouraging employees who are successfully navigating a remote office to continue working from home. At least 78 percent of chief executives agree that remote collaboration is here to stay for the long term, a PwC survey of 669 company heads reported.

Clean Office Boosts Productivity

As an added bonus, cleaning up your office can help bolster employee morale and increase productivity. Clutter causes stress and can be a detriment to mental health, Harvard Business Review reported. Studies reveal cortisol levels are higher when people are in cluttered environments. Over time, sustained high cortisol levels can lead to anxiety and depression. Plus, cluttered work environments make people more likely to procrastinate and lose efficiency. Getting rid of your junk can help your workplace thrive.
