Don’t Wait Until the Last Minute to Plan Your Cubicle Removal

When companies move, downsize, or remodel, one of the biggest challenges is figuring out how to get rid of cubicles. Too often, businesses wait until the very last minute — sometimes just days before their move-out date — and that creates unnecessary stress, higher costs, and limited options.

At C & H Office Solutions, we’ve seen it all, and we know this: planning your cubicle removal early saves money, time, and headaches. Whether you’re removing a handful of stations or an entire floor, the sooner you plan, the smoother it goes.

Minimum 30 Days — The Bare Minimum

If you need cubicles removed, always allow at least 30 days’ notice. That’s the minimum amount of time needed to:

• Evaluate your layout and systems.

• Confirm brand, size, and condition.

• Schedule crews for disassembly and removal.

For smaller offices (6–10 stations), 30 days can be enough. But for medium to large inventories (20 or more cubicles), anything less is risky.

50–100 Cubicles or More? Plan Months in Advance

Cubicle removal projects take time — as you can see here with panels stacked mid-teardown. Planning ahead ensures removals run smoothly, without last-minute stress or extra costs.

If you have 50–100 cubicles or more, plan at least three months ahead. These larger projects require:

• Coordinating trucks, crews, and equipment.

• Scheduling around your move-out timeline.

• Finding a destination for your systems so they don’t end up in the landfill.

Last-minute removals are possible, but they almost always cost more and cause more disruption.

Why Planning Ahead Matters

• Avoid costly rush removals — waiting until the last minute limits your options.

• Save money on your move — with proper lead time, we can often place cubicles into another office instead of charging full disposal fees.

• Make the transition smoother — office moves are stressful enough; cubicles shouldn’t add to the chaos.

What About Other Office Furniture?

Cubicles are our specialty, but businesses often need to clear out desks, chairs, file cabinets, conference tables, and breakroom items as part of a move. C & H can usually assist with these items when needed, though our main focus is always on quality cubicle systems.

The Sustainability Advantage

Planning ahead isn’t just smart for your budget — it’s also better for the environment.

When removal is rushed, cubicles often go straight to a landfill. With proper planning, we can match your systems with another business that needs them, extending their life and reducing waste.

And if you’re considering whether to sell your cubicles rather than simply remove them, take a look at our guide: Selling Your Office Cubicles.
