Since 2005, we’ve removed thousands of printers and copiers from offices across Columbia, St. Louis, Lake of the Ozarks, and Illinois locations. Last week we cleared a third-floor Columbia office building (no elevator) of a 300-pound multifunction copier that hadn’t worked in two years. Twenty minutes later, it was gone.

After nearly 20 years hauling office equipment, we’ve learned that commercial printer removal requires strategy, proper equipment, and understanding which copier wheels actually work (spoiler: usually none of them).

Types of Commercial Copiers & Printer Equipment We Take

Printers & Copiers We Handle Every Day:

Your standard desktop inkjet that’s been out of ink longer than some of your employees have been employed? We’ll take it. That laser printer that sounds like a jet engine taking off every time someone hits print? Gone. The commercial copier that requires a manual thicker than a phone book and hasn’t worked right since the Bush administration? (The first one.) Consider it history.

• Desktop Printers: From basic inkjets to high-end laser printers that cost more than some cars
• Commercial Copiers: The big boys that dominate entire corners of offices and require their own electrical circuits
• Multifunction Devices: Those Swiss Army knives of the office world that print, scan, copy, fax, and occasionally make coffee (okay, maybe not the coffee part)
• All-in-One Units: Because why have one broken machine when you can have four broken functions in one convenient package?
• Industrial Plotters: For when regular paper just isn’t big enough for your ambitious printing dreams
• Fax Machines: Yes, they still exist, and yes, we’ll take them without judgment
• Print Servers: The mysterious boxes that somehow control everything and understand nothing

Related Equipment We Take While We’re There:

• Print stands and cabinets (usually holding more dust than supplies)
• Toner cartridges and ink supplies (sealed or bagged)
• Network cables and printer accessories (the drawer full of cables nobody can identify)
• Paper trays and finishing equipment (because someone bought every optional accessory)
• Old fax supplies and thermal paper rolls (from back when faxing was a thing)

What We Can’t Take

• Leased equipment: Unless you own it or have written authority to remove it, we can’t touch it. Check with your leasing company first.

DIY vs. Pro Office Printer & Copier Removal

Here’s what nobody tells you about office printers and copiers until you’re staring at one that needs to disappear: they’re engineered like tanks but built to never leave their original location.

The Weight Reality Check:

That innocent-looking office copier? It probably weighs between 150-400 pounds. Fully loaded with paper, toner, and all the optional features someone enthusiastically ordered, you’re looking at half a ton of machinery that was never designed to be moved by anyone except professional installation teams with specialized equipment.

We’ve seen office managers try to move these things with dollies from the supply closet. We’ve cleaned up after those attempts.

The Toner Situation:

Commercial copiers and laser printers contain toner cartridges that can leak, spill, or explode in tiny black clouds that make everything look like a crime scene. Toner gets into everything, carpet, clothing, lungs, and the small crevices of your soul. We come prepared with protection equipment, cleanup supplies, and the experience to handle toner situations before they become toner disasters.

The Access Challenge:

Your printer was delivered when your office was empty. Now it needs to leave through a maze of cubicles, around conference room tables, and past the plant someone put right in the hallway. We’ve navigated printer removal through offices that would challenge a professional maze runner.

The Hidden Features Nobody Mentions:

Modern copiers aren’t just printers, they’re computers with hard drives, network connections, and stored documents. Some have user data, scan histories, and copies of every document that’s passed through them. We work with businesses to ensure proper data handling and can coordinate with IT departments when security is a concern.

MrJunk® Process To Office Copier & Commercial Printer Recycling

Step 1: We Show Up (On Time, With the Right Equipment)

When we arrive for printer and copier removal, we bring more than just strong backs. Our trucks carry furniture dollies, lifting straps, floor protection, and toner cleanup supplies. We’ve learned that proper preparation prevents most problems.

Our teams are background-checked and uniformed, because we understand that office buildings have security requirements and professional standards. We work around your schedule, your security protocols, and your building’s rules.

Step 2: Assessment and Planning (Because Strategy Matters)

Before we start wrestling with your equipment, we assess the removal route, check for obstacles, and plan our approach. Is there a clear path to the elevator? Will that copier fit through the conference room door? Do we need to remove paper and toner first?

This isn’t our first printer rodeo. We’ve learned to spot potential problems before they become actual problems.

Step 3: Safe, Professional Removal

We protect your floors, walls, and doorways during removal. Commercial copiers and heavy printers can damage flooring, scrape paint, and turn narrow hallways into obstacle courses. Our teams use proper lifting techniques, moving equipment, and protective materials to ensure your office looks the same after we leave — just with more floor space.

Step 4: Responsible Disposal

Here’s where our e-waste expertise comes in. Commercial printers and copiers contain materials that require proper recycling and disposal. We work with certified recycling facilities throughout Missouri and Illinois to ensure environmentally responsible disposal.

Typical Scenarios We See (And How We Handle Them)

“The Upgrade Finally Happened”

Your company made an investment in new printing equipment. The good news? Everything works now. The bad news? The old equipment sits there like technological fossils, occupying space and serving as expensive reminders of simpler times.

We handle technology upgrades regularly. Whether you’re upgrading one printer or replacing an entire fleet, we coordinate with your schedule to remove the old equipment without disrupting your operations. Do we need to wait until after business hours? No problem. Weekend removal? We’re there.

“The Office Is Moving/Closing”

Nothing says “office relocation stress” like looking at a room full of equipment that needs to disappear before the lease ends. We’ve handled countless office closures and relocations, from single-room operations to multi-floor corporate facilities.

One memorable job involved a law firm moving out of a downtown St. Louis high-rise. They had seventeen printers scattered across three floors, including a copier so old it still used carbon paper. We cleared everything in one day, leaving the space ready for their final walkthrough.

“It Hasn’t Worked in Years”

Sometimes printer removal is less about upgrading and more about finally admitting defeat. That copier that’s been “temporarily out of order” for eight months? The printer that everyone avoids because it’s essentially become office furniture? Time to let it go.

We’ve removed printers that served as glorified plant stands, copiers that were being used as filing cabinets, and multifunction devices whose only remaining function was taking up space.

“The IT Guy Quit and Left Us With This”

Nothing strikes fear into the heart of an office manager quite like inherited technology problems. Your IT person moved on, and suddenly you’re responsible for equipment you don’t understand, can’t operate, and definitely can’t move.

We work with businesses dealing with technology transitions all the time. No technical expertise required on your part, just point us toward what needs to go, and we’ll handle the rest.

How Much Is Commercial Copier & Printer Equipment Removal?

Printer and copier removal pricing depends on several factors that actually matter:

• Size and Weight: That desktop printer is a different project than the industrial copier that requires its own forklift
• Location and Access: Ground floor with loading dock access versus fourth floor with narrow stairs
• Quantity: Single unit pickup versus clearing out an entire IT storage room
• Special Requirements: Standard removal versus situations requiring data destruction or hazardous material handling
• Timing: Regular business hours versus after-hours or emergency service

Unlike companies that quote low and surprise you with fees, we provide upfront pricing based on what we actually see. No hidden charges for “difficult access” or “unexpected complications,” we factor in the real requirements from the beginning.

Why Our Pricing Makes Sense:

Consider the alternative: renting a truck, recruiting volunteers, risking injury and property damage, dealing with disposal regulations, and spending your weekend wrestling with equipment that’s engineered to stay put. Factor in the potential cost of damaged floors, injured backs, or improperly disposed electronics, and professional removal starts looking like the smart financial decision.

What to Expect When We Handle Your Printer & Copier Removal

Scheduling That Works for Business:

We understand that office operations can’t stop for equipment removal. We offer flexible scheduling, including after-hours and weekend service, to minimize disruption to your business operations.

Professional Service in Commercial Settings:

Our teams understand commercial building requirements, security protocols, and professional standards. We work quietly and efficiently, respecting your workplace environment and your neighbors in the building.

Complete Cleanup:

Printer and copier removal can be messy, toner dust, paper scraps, and general debris from equipment that’s been sitting in place for years. We clean up after ourselves, leaving your space ready for whatever comes next.

Communication Throughout:

From scheduling to completion, we keep you informed about timing, any challenges we encounter, and completion confirmation. No mysteries, no surprises, just clear communication about what’s happening with your equipment removal.

Other Ways We Can Help While There

Once we’re handling your printer and copier removal, most businesses discover they have other equipment that needs to go.

Related Office Equipment We Handle:

• Filing Cabinets: Those metal beasts full of paper nobody looks at anymore
• Desks and Office Furniture: When you’re upgrading the whole workspace
• Network Equipment: Servers, routers, and the mysterious boxes in your IT closet
• Old Computers and Monitors: The desktop setup from 2015 that’s “still perfectly good”
• Office Supplies: The supply closet that somehow accumulated fifteen years worth of random office materials
• Storage Solutions: Shelving units, storage cabinets, and modular furniture systems
• Break Room Equipment: The microwave that sounds like a jet engine and the coffee maker nobody can figure out

Related Services That Make Sense:

• Complete Office Cleanouts: When you’re relocating, closing, or just starting fresh
• Commercial Space Preparation: Getting spaces ready for new tenants or renovations
• Electronics Recycling: Proper disposal of all your outdated technology
• Ongoing Cleanout Services: Regular scheduled pickups for businesses that accumulate equipment over time

One Columbia law firm called us to remove two old copiers. By the time we were done, we’d also hauled away a conference room’s worth of outdated furniture, three filing cabinets full of closed cases, and a microwave that predated the Clinton administration. They said it was the most productive afternoon they’d had in years.

Questions People Actually Ask Us About Printer & Copier Removal

How did you guys get into this business?

Great question. Started in 2005 when Dax realized that people needed help with exactly this kind of stuff, the heavy, awkward, technically complicated removal jobs that other companies avoid. Twenty years later, we’ve built our reputation on handling the equipment removal projects that make other people nervous.

Do you work in high-rise buildings?

Absolutely. We’ve removed equipment from office towers throughout St. Louis, Columbia, and into Illinois. We work with building management, understand elevator scheduling, and respect commercial building protocols. Some of our most interesting projects have been in downtown high-rises where logistics matter as much as muscle.

What if our copier is really old and might fall apart?

We’ve handled equipment from every decade since the 1980s. Some of these machines were built like tanks and will outlast us all. Others… well, they’re held together by hope and toner fumes. We come prepared for both scenarios.

Can you remove equipment that’s still plugged in and connected?

We can disconnect standard power and network connections, but we recommend having your IT department handle any specialized connections or data backup requirements before we arrive. We’re good at heavy lifting, not so much at preserving your network settings.

What about toner cartridges and supplies?

Sealed toner cartridges and ink supplies? We’ll take them. Loose toner, opened cartridges, or leaking supplies require special handling. We can coordinate proper hazardous waste disposal or connect you with certified facilities if needed.

How quickly can you respond for urgent removals?

Same-day service is often available throughout our service areas. Emergency situations, like lease deadlines or facility transitions — get priority scheduling. We’ve handled “the movers come tomorrow and this stuff needs to be gone” situations more times than we can count.

What if we’re not sure whether something should be removed?

When in doubt, ask. We can assess your equipment and make recommendations based on condition, value, and disposal requirements. Sometimes that “broken” printer just needs a simple repair. Other times, it’s ready for a dignified retirement.

Do you work with property management companies?

All the time. Property managers throughout Missouri and Illinois use our services for tenant turnovers, building renovations, and facility maintenance. We understand property management timelines, documentation requirements, and the importance of leaving spaces move-in ready.
