Green Policy
Sustainability is not an add-on at MEGA Auctions - it is embedded in how we plan, manage, and execute auctions and asset disposition projects.
We are committed to demonstrating sustainability leadership across our auction management practices and day-to-day operations, with a practical focus on reducing waste, minimizing environmental impact, and helping clients return properties to service faster and at lower cost.
Extending The Life Of Assets
Auctions play a critical role in extending the usable life of equipment, furnishings, fixtures, and materials.
By placing quality used assets back into the market:
- The lifespan of items is maximized
- Fewer materials enter disposal or demolition streams
- Clients reduce hauling, disposal, and landfill fees
- Properties can be cleared more efficiently
This approach benefits both the environment and the client's bottom line.
Beyond The Typical Auction Model
Traditional auction processes often result in bidders removing only high-value items, leaving behind large volumes of low-value materials that must be demolished or discarded by the property owner. MEGA Auctions actively works to reduce this outcome.
Where items are not suitable for sale, we pursue alternative disposition methods, including:
- Donation to qualified organizations
- Responsible parting-out of equipment
- Recycling through appropriate channels
Our goal is to divert as much material as possible from landfill while reducing the time and cost required to fully clear a site.
End-Of-Life & Zero-Waste Focus
We maintain a comprehensive end-of-life equipment program designed to achieve minimal waste wherever feasible.
This includes:
- Identifying secondary markets or reuse opportunities
- Coordinating donation partners
- Managing recycling streams for metals, electronics, and materials
- Handling specialized or regulated materials appropriately
This approach is particularly impactful in commercial clear-outs, where the volume of material can otherwise result in significant landfill use and disposal expense.
Responsible Partners & Operations
We prioritize working with suppliers and service partners who demonstrate a commitment to sustainable practices and responsible operations. We also continuously evaluate and seek out new partners who meet these standards.
Within our own operations, we:
- Use environmentally responsible office products and supplies
- Apply sustainable packaging and distribution practices
- Incorporate sustainability considerations into auction and project planning
Sustainability In Auction & Project Management
An auction can have both positive and negative environmental impacts. We evaluate each project holistically and work collaboratively with clients to reduce negative impacts while creating measurable positive outcomes.
Sustainability considerations are embedded into:
- Auction planning and logistics
- Site clear-out and close-out strategies
- Community impact
- Long-term economic and environmental outcomes
Our objective is not simply to conduct an auction, but to help clients achieve efficient, compliant, and responsible outcomes.
Why This Matters
A sustainability-focused approach:
- Reduces landfill and disposal costs
- Shortens unit and space turnaround time
- Minimizes demolition and hauling requirements
- Supports ESG and environmental reporting goals
- Creates a cleaner transition back to lease-ready condition
For many clients, sustainability and efficiency go hand in hand - and we design our processes accordingly.
