Bendigo Library - A Case Study

When the City of Bendigo needed to relocate the Bendigo Library from its temporary location to the newly refurbished library, they looked to ABR Relocations to ensure a smooth, efficient and accurate move. ABR was responsible for relocating 3,020 lineal metres of library collection. Our work had to be flexible as we worked in conjunction with building contractors who were on site to complete the final touches to the building. Even so, ABR completed the relocation three days earlier than planned because of dedicated staff working long hours throughout the hottest week Bendigo had experienced for many years. ABR’s library relocation expertise comes from years working with local, educational and research libraries to safely and accurately move their collections. We are Melbourne’s specialised library relocation service provider.

“The City of Greater Bendigo engaged ABR Relocations after an exhaustive selection process…based on recommendations by other libraries, Public Records of Victoria, economic value and the ability to perform the relocation within our time frame.” Jim Weymouth – Project Manager – City of Greater Bendigo

Sustainable Relocation Services

ABR Relocations offers comprehensive furniture disposal and recycling services in Melbourne that reduce the amount of furniture ending up in landfills. Our relocation disposal service can lessen the environmental impact of your office relocation and new fit-outs, including libraries, laboratories, hospitals and warehouses. We can minimise your moving waste by taking excess assets to auction and sorting/recycling your unsaleable items as well as moving rubbish. A little thought and effort can make a big difference to the overall environmental impact that any office, library, laboratory and warehouse relocation has.

For those organisations that wish to follow sustainable business and relocation practices, ABR is here to help. We know that these days, most businesses have chosen to implement ‘green’ practice into their daily operations as well as other areas of the business such as removals. Sustainability is no longer an option, but a requirement of companies wishing to stay prosperous and relevant in the years to come. We will work with you to create a plan for all of your unwanted items that are not making the move with you. If you want to organise and environmentally conscious move but don’t know where to start, ABR can help.

Removals to Auction

Auction is a sustainable choice for disposing of items that are no longer needed but may be able to find another home where they will serve a more useful purpose. If you’d like to resell your items, our removalist team will carefully wrap and transport your items for auction. We’re experts at selling and registering office furniture at auction, ensuring you get the best possible price for your items. Your auction proceeds and a detailed statement will be sent directly to you once the auction closes. The sale of such items can often help to offset the cost of your relocation services as well as reducing disposal expenses for unwanted items during your office relocation.

Recycling your office furniture is an easy, cost-effective and practical contribution to environmental sustainability. Recycling of office furniture in Melbourne protects the environment through the diversion of waste away from landfill and the reduction of manufacturing carbon emissions. ABR Relocations will sort and dispose of your unwanted office furniture and workstations in an environmentally friendly and socially responsible manner. You not only help the environment; you also eliminate the need to pay increasingly expensive tipping fees. We will sort your items into recyclable material streams – metal, plastics and timber – to minimise the volume going to landfill.
