That’s A LOT of Chairs, Desks and Tables

This week Ecoserv, hit an important milestone – diverting more than 45 million pounds of surplus furniture, fixtures and equipment from landfill since 2012!

That’s a lot of desks, chairs, tables, couches, light fixtures, file cabinets and other stuff still in circulation thanks to clients interested in tackling climate change and serving their communities. That’s a lot of NEW commercial furniture that did not have to be manufactured and sold.

Just how much is 45 million pounds of furniture waste?

🔥 It’s equivalent to the CO2 emissions from almost 90 million pounds of coal burned; or

🚀 The combined weight of all the successful moon landing rockets (6 rockets went to the moon, landed and returned, each Saturn V rocket weighing 6.89 million pounds); or
 
🐋 184.5 blue whales; or

✈ 4.5 Boeing 747s

It’s a lot. And we’ve just started.

Congratulations to our amazing team, our network of 350 installation companies, our resale partners, recyclers, and more than 2,500 nonprofits and community groups who received donations.
