Our Process
Identify
We work with you to identify items to be decommissioned. This helps remove unwanted items from your facility and cut down on move size.
Connect
Through our partnership with a woman-owned, 501(c)(3) organization, we match and steward your decommissioned items. Your items will then be given to community organizations in need.
Impact
The decommissioning results are independently audited and detailed in a tax receipt. You will also receive a certificate totaling landfill diversion in metric tons.
Teaming Up With You in Corporate Responsibility
Your corporate social responsibility goals are important.
Planes continues to find cost-competitive ways to help you meet them. Create value and promote your values by working with the Planes team to evaluate environmentally-friendly options for your project.
Our Reviews
outstanding experience
"I am writing today to commend and thank you for the outstanding experience we had with your team in their efforts to move two of our school buildings this winter. I heard multiple times from staff and leadership that they had never had such a positive effort and a detailed response to our needs in this challenging endeavor. Change is not easy and this certainly wasn’t. But your efforts removed a major concern from our plates."
thorough and efficient
“Everyone on the crew from Planes took great care. They were thorough and efficient, and nothing was left behind. On top of all of that, they were pleasant to work with. Our move was on-budget and on-time; it was important for us to be back up and running quickly, and that’s exactly what happened. I know what it’s like to have a terrible experience and I know what it’s like to have a great experience, and nothing at all could have been improved in our move with Planes.”
experience was very evident
“Planes’ crews were extremely professional, and our project manager was very knowledgeable. He clearly had control of the project: he knew the timelines, was very organized, and helped us make adjustments. For example, he advised us on how to set up our space so that we would be compliant with fire codes and wheelchair accessible. All supplies were brought a week ahead of time so that we could stage everything appropriately and begin the move quickly. Planes’ experience was very evident in our entire move.”
very smoothly
"Planes was very professional handling the crating and moving of our equipment out of the building space we were occupying. The quote we received before moving ahead was precise, thorough, and my contact kept in contact daily with where we were in the process of getting everything situated. On the two separate days of moving, the Planes team and the rigging company were punctual and very well organized. Everything went very smoothly and Andrew was there to meet with everyone and to make sure there were no issues. Overall it was an easy experience on our end and I would recommend Planes for shipping and storing."
