CR Movers Inc
Junk removal for offices
Office furniture removal in Toronto and across the GTA, by our own crew, not subcontracted. For a business leaving a lease: desks, chairs, filing cabinets and the storage room nobody opened, out by the freight elevator in the hours the building allows.
Keep, store, remove
Office furniture disposal starts with a list, not a truck. Sort it three ways: what moves with you, what waits for the next lease, what leaves for good. One crew can handle all three in one visit.
Desks, files and equipment going to the next address are an office move, and the same crew can run it on the same day. Label each piece by pile before we arrive.
Furniture you may want at the next office, with nowhere to put it this month, goes to our partner Key Storage, who set the storage terms. We move it in and back out.
Commercial junk removal by our own crew: old desks, chairs, filing cabinets and whatever the storage room turns up. We bring it down in the building's window and take it away.
Before the crew is booked
Four things decide how an office junk removal job goes, and none of them is the lifting: the lease, the building, the City and the furniture itself.
The lease. Look for a surrender or restoration clause; some leases say broom-swept. It usually says what has to come out and what the landlord wants left. If the lease does not say whether furniture, cabling or built-ins stay, ask the landlord in writing.
The building. Ask property management for the move-out rules, book the freight elevator and the loading dock, and get the hours in writing. A downtown tower usually has a dock and an elevator schedule; a unit in a Mississauga or Vaughan business park may only have a ground-level door.
The City. Toronto will not take office furniture at the curb: even a small business on City collection must make its own arrangements for large furniture, appliances and electronic waste.
The furniture. Before paying to remove a good desk, ask who wants it: the incoming tenant, the landlord, your own staff. Furniture Bank, a Toronto charity, picks up furniture for a fee and takes drop-offs at its warehouse at no cost. Ask it first whether it wants office pieces.
A liquidator, hard drives destroyed with paperwork and a decommissioning report for the landlord are separate trades. Line them up yourself, then tell us what is left on the floor and we say what we can take.
Straight answers. If the furniture is moving and not leaving, see office and commercial moves. For planning, read our office relocation checklist and what an office move costs in Toronto. For anything else, call or message during sales hours.

At the curb if you are a household, not if you are a business. A house sets oversized items beside the garbage bin on collection day and the City picks them up. A business makes its own arrangements: someone who wants the furniture, a charity that accepts it, or a removal crew.
Not removing it. Ask the incoming tenant, the landlord and your own staff first: a desk someone takes costs nothing to haul. Next comes a charity that accepts office furniture, then a crew for what is left. An office emptied by your own staff over three evenings is not a saving.
For office furniture, do not count on it. Habitat ReStore GTA says its curbside pickups are free and its in-home pickups carry a fee, and it passes on office cubicles and desks over five feet long. Furniture Bank charges a fee for pickups; its warehouse drop-off is free.
Yes, evenings and weekends included. Many office towers only allow this work after hours. Tell us the window your building gives you for the freight elevator and the dock, and we quote for that window. The sales office is open seven days a week to set it up.
Ask before you count on it. Send photos of the workstations, how the panels join and how many there are, and we tell you before the day whether the crew can take them as they stand or whether they have to be taken apart first, and by whom. Do not fix the handover date until you have that answer.
Ask before the day: send a list or photos and we tell you what we can take. The City of Toronto leaves electronic waste to the business to arrange. Anything that holds data is your call first: have your IT provider wipe or remove the drives before any equipment leaves the floor.
Sometimes. A commercial job with a fixed, known scope can be quoted as a flat rate: a counted list of desks, chairs and cabinets, one floor, one elevator window. Everything else is hourly, with the rate and the crew size agreed before you book.
Offices, restaurants and regional government have handed us their move. The Region of Peel, York Region, OSI Digital, ERP Buddies, UCMAS, Viasox, Ultimate Coders, Fukrey Restaurant, Blue Ant Media, Reef Marketing Agency and Shelby's Shawarma have all let us use their name.
