Storage & Filing — Expert Answer
How do I dispose of or donate old filing cabinets?
Before disposal, purge all documents per your retention policy and shred sensitive materials. Filing cabinets can be donated to nonprofits, resold via office liquidators, or recycled as scrap metal. Metal filing cabinets are fully recyclable. Some municipalities offer bulk metal pickup. Local office furniture dealers sometimes accept trade-ins.
