Office Furniture Disposal in Broward County, FL
A Broward business cannot use the county's Saturday drop-off centers, and city bulk pickups serve homes, so office furniture needs its own plan. Habitat for Humanity's ReStore takes office chairs and desks up to 4 feet, the Salvation Army takes some desks, and Goodwill takes no office furniture at all. Junky Jan hauls what is left.

Who will take used office furniture in Broward County?
A handful of charities take some of it, and none takes all of it. The table below comes from each one's own pages, read on October 5, 2026. None of them says whether it takes pickups from a business rather than a household, so ask before you book. No charity or public reuse program in Broward that we found says it takes cubicles or partitions, and Habitat refuses them by name. If yours has to go anyway, Junky Jan carries out what the charities leave.
| Charity | Takes | Refuses |
|---|---|---|
| Habitat for Humanity Broward ReStore, Fort Lauderdale | Office chairs, and desks 4 feet long or smaller | Conference tables, partitions, roll-top desks, office electronics such as copiers, fax machines and printers |
| Salvation Army (Hollywood addresses are served from Fort Lauderdale) | Desks that are not broken, flat-screen monitors, desktop computers | Metal filing cabinets, pressboard and Formica furniture, fax machines and printers |
| Faith Farm Ministries, Fort Lauderdale | Desks and chairs in usable condition, bookshelves and filing cabinets, per a 2024 post on its site | Not published |
| Goodwill South Florida | Nothing in this category | Office furniture is on its list of items it does not take |
| The Caring Place, Hollywood | Nothing in this category | Office furniture and desks |
Can a business use Broward's drop-off centers or the landfill?
Not the drop-off centers. Broward's residential guidelines list "Business-and government-generated waste" among the items the centers do not accept, and say small businesses, home-based ones included, should not bring hazardous waste or electronics to any county facility. The centers also turn away commercial vehicles at the gate.
The Broward County Landfill at 7101 SW 205th Avenue is the public option. It takes bulk waste from inside Broward at $100 a ton under its 2026 rate sheet, Monday to Saturday, and refuses hazardous waste, lead-acid batteries and used oil. It is a long drive west of Hollywood, so it makes sense for a full trailer rather than a few chairs.
City bulk pickup is not an option either. Hollywood's monthly pickup serves single-family homes and duplexes, and the city treats businesses as an open market that arranges its own collection, as our Hollywood bulk trash pickup rules guide explains.
Files, drives and data: what Florida law expects
Empty every filing cabinet and wipe or destroy every drive before the furniture goes. Florida's data security law, section 501.171(8), requires any business that holds customer records with personal information to dispose of them by "shredding, erasing, or otherwise modifying the personal information in the records to make it unreadable or undecipherable." It applies whatever form the records take, paper or digital.
Federal rules point the same way. The FTC's Disposal Rule covers any organization that uses consumer reports, and the EPA recommends certified electronics recyclers, whose two standards, R2 and e-Stewards, both require that all data on used electronics is destroyed. Pull the hard drives from old desktops before they go anywhere, and keep a note of who destroyed them.
- Empty and shred the paper in filing cabinets and desk drawers
- Remove or wipe hard drives from computers and copiers
- Keep a record of who destroyed the drives and when
- Check under drawers and in cabinet backs for loose files
Monitors, printers and light tubes from an office
Florida has no law aimed only at discarded electronics, but the Florida Department of Environmental Protection points to the general rules that do apply: lead in the glass of old tube monitors and TVs, and mercury in the backlights of many flat panels. The EPA treats tube monitors marked for disposal as hazardous waste. FDEP recommends a recycler with a third-party certification, and suggests asking how it destroys the data.
Fluorescent tubes have a rule of their own. Under Florida law, a commercial facility that disposes of more than 10 spent lamps a month must send them to a permitted lined landfill or a permitted reclamation facility. Our commercial junk removal page covers which office electronics we take.
Metal filing cabinets and steel desks
Steel furniture is the hardest to place. The Salvation Army's pickup rules refuse metal filing cabinets, Habitat refuses roll-top desks, and no Broward County page we found says a county facility takes metal furniture from a business as scrap. Steel can be recycled as scrap metal, but a business has to find a scrap yard that will take it, and get it there.
That usually makes metal cabinets and old steel desks the part of an office cleanout that ends up with a hauler. Empty them first: a full filing cabinet is far heavier than an empty one, and the paper inside is the part Florida law cares about.
Clearing an office in a Hollywood building
Office buildings add their own rules: a freight elevator booked for a set window, the loading dock, sometimes after-hours access only, and often a certificate of insurance before any contractor comes in. Plan the furniture removal for the same window as the move, so the elevator is booked once.
If some pieces are going to a charity, book that pickup first and have the rest hauled after. Tell the hauler which pieces stay, and mark them.
