Notable Project, U.S. Green Building Council

OLS was hired to manage the liquidation and removal of excess assets from the U.S. Green Building Council's national headquarters in Washington DC. The goal for this historical building at the forefront of sustainability and eco-architecture was to have a zero-landfill liquidation.  For the client, OLS disassembled, removed, and sold approximately a thousand pieces of a wide variety of unique and modern office furniture, kitchen small appliances, and supplies.

For the remaining items that were not sold, we were able to secure donations to local schools, charities, and community centers as well as transportation to recycling centers.  Through these methods, we were able to achieve not only the client’s goals but also many environmental, social and economic successes - zero items diverted to the landfill, equipment and furniture put into the hands of local small businesses and families for a fraction of retail pricing, and USGBC offset their labor expenses by over a third of their cost. OLS is proud to have been chosen for this landmark project.
