Has anyone dealt with old metal filing cabinets? I’m not sure what to do with them, any suggestions?
The most common ways to dispose of old metal office filing cabinets include recycling, donating/selling, and repurposing. The best option depends on the condition of the filing cabinet and your personal needs.
- Recycling: Metal filing cabinets can be given to professional recycling companies for scrap metal recycling. Many cities and counties also have dedicated recycling programs that offer services for large furniture items. You can contact your local waste management company to inquire about such services.
- Donating or Selling: If the filing cabinet is still in good condition, consider donating it to a charity organization such as Goodwill or The Salvation Army, or selling it through second-hand marketplaces (Facebook Marketplace, Craigslist). Many people need this type of office furniture, especially students, freelancers, or small business owners, who might be willing to take these old pieces.
- Repurposing and Reusing: If you enjoy DIY projects, you can transform old metal filing cabinets into other practical furniture or decorative items. For example, you can convert them into storage cabinets, bookshelves, plant stands, or even use them to create creative tables or workbenches. Metal filing cabinets are sturdy and durable, and can be given a new lease of life after being repurposed.
