When your company’s lease ends, moving out is only half the job. Before turning in your keys, your space must be cleared, cleaned, and restored to its original condition — a process known as office decommissioning. For San Jose businesses, that often means dismantling cubicles, removing furniture, and responsibly recycling materials.
At All Star Movers & Storage, we specialize in office decommission services in San Jose and Silicon Valley. Our professional crews handle every detail — from cubicle tear-downs to equipment recycling — so you can focus on your next chapter while we return your space to move-out-ready condition.
What Is Office Decommissioning?
Office decommissioning is the process of preparing your workspace for turnover at the end of a lease. It typically involves removing all furniture, fixtures, and branded elements, and restoring the property to its landlord’s original specifications.
Most San Jose commercial leases require:
Cubicle disassembly and removal
Furniture and equipment recycling or donation
Electronics and e-waste disposal
Wall patching and light cleaning
Final walkthrough with property management
Skipping these steps can lead to penalties or additional charges, so planning ahead is key.
Cubicle Tear-Down Made Easy
Modern cubicles are designed for productivity — not easy removal. Disassembling modular office systems safely requires the right tools, experience, and precision.
Our San Jose office decommission team includes trained technicians who:
Carefully disconnect and label each cubicle section
Safely remove panels, connectors, and power modules
Protect floors and walls throughout the process
Organize components for recycling, storage, or resale
Because we’ve worked with systems from Herman Miller, Steelcase, Knoll, and Haworth, we know how to dismantle them efficiently without damage. We also coordinate with your building’s management team to follow access, elevator, and noise guidelines for a smooth operation.
Responsible Office Furniture Recycling
In Silicon Valley, sustainability matters. Rather than sending used office furniture to the landfill, we prioritize eco-friendly disposal options.
Our office furniture recycling program includes:
Donation to local nonprofits or schools whenever possible
Metal and plastic recycling through certified Bay Area partners
E-waste recycling for computers, monitors, and printers
Sorting and disposal compliance per California environmental standards
By choosing responsible recycling, your business not only meets lease requirements but also supports a greener Bay Area.
