Benefits of Decommissioning AV Hardware for Office Dilapidation

When an office is closing due to dilapidation, properly decommissioning AV hardware provides multiple advantages, including financial, security, and environmental benefits:

  • Ensures the office is restored to its original state, avoiding lease penalties.
  • Proper removal of AV hardware prevents structural damage to walls, ceilings, and floors.
  • Prepares the space for handover to landlords or future tenants.

Responsible Recycling & Certification

The proper collection, treatment, and recycling of Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) is essential for improving environmental management, supporting a circular economy, and enhancing resource efficiency.

For any equipment that can be repurposed, we issue a ‘Certificate of Re-Use’, confirming its successful integration into our Second Life AV initiative. Any equipment beyond repair is responsibly processed for WEEE recycling, ensuring it is disposed of in an eco-friendly and compliant manner.
