Why Choose disposal.ch
Fixed prices confirmed before every visit
You receive a binding price before we arrive. There are no additional charges for stairs, difficult access, or extra items as long as they match the original quote. If the scope changes, we tell you before starting.
Same-day and next-day availability
We cover Zürich and the surrounding cantons seven days a week. Urgent situations, move-out deadlines, estate clearances, landlord pressure are handled the same day where possible.
100% insured service
All work is carried out by our own trained team or verified insured partners. Every pickup is covered, and your property is protected throughout the process.
Bilingual team English and German
Our team handles queries and bookings in both English and Swiss-German. This makes disposal.ch particularly well-suited for Zürich's international community, expats, and English-speaking residents navigating Swiss regulations for the first time.
Donation-first, transport-second policy
Usable items are offered to local charity and reuse organisations before anything is transported onward. Recyclable materials are separated and delivered to certified recycling partners. Only what cannot be reused or recycled is sent for authorised disposal. disposal.ch is a collection and transport service. We do not operate our own recycling facility and are not affiliated with any specific recycling company.
Cleaning available as a separate service
After a clearance, many properties need a professional clean for handover. We offer cleaning as a separate, independently bookable service that can be arranged alongside your disposal or clearance no separate coordination required.

Complete Disposal and Clearance Services in Zurich
Getting rid of large, unwanted items in Zürich is straightforward when you know where to turn. At disposal.ch, we handle everything from a single sofa to a full property clearance including all the heavy lifting, transport, and responsible hand-off to recycling and donation partners. Whether you are moving home, clearing a basement, or dealing with a bereavement, our disposal services in Zurich are designed to be simple, transparent, and stress-free.
The standard municipal kerbside collection route usually requires a paid bulky-waste tag, items placed outside early in the morning, several days' advance notice, and a weight limit per item. For many households, that is simply not practical. Our team collects directly from your floor, disassembles items if needed, and works around your schedule including evenings and weekends.
We cover two main service categories: disposal of specific items (furniture, carpets, electronics, mattresses) and full clearances of entire spaces (basements, apartments, offices, shops, and warehouses). If your property also needs professional cleaning after clearance, we offer that as a separate, independently bookable service so the whole handover can be arranged through a single point of contact.
Sustainability and Responsible Handling
Every item we collect is assessed before it leaves your property. Our goal is to keep as much as possible out of thermal processing and in circulation or in recycled materials. disposal.ch collects and transports all recycling, donation, and disposal processing itself is carried out by certified third-party partners.

Frequently Asked Questions
Are you a recycling center?
No. disposal.ch is a collection and transport service. We pick up your items, sort them, and deliver them to certified recycling facilities, donation organisations, or authorised disposal routes on your behalf. We do not operate our own recycling plant and are not affiliated with or partnered with any specific recycling company.
How do I get a price for disposal in Zurich?
Send photos and your postcode via WhatsApp (+41 76 413 61 83) or use the quote form on this page. We usually respond within the hour with a fixed price. There is no obligation.
What is the difference between disposal and clearance?
Disposal means removing specific items such as a sofa, a mattress, or a pile of old electronics. Clearance means emptying an entire space: a basement, a flat, or an office. Both are available as standalone services or in combination.
Do you carry items down from upper floors?
Yes. Our team handles items on any floor, with or without a lift. We use appropriate equipment for heavy or awkward items and protect walls, floors, and door frames throughout.
Can I book same-day or next-day disposal?
In most cases, yes. We cover Zürich, Aargau, Luzern, and Zug seven days a week. Contact us by phone or WhatsApp to check availability for your preferred date.
What items cannot be collected?
We handle almost everything. The only exceptions are asbestos-containing materials (these require a licensed specialist), live chemicals and gases (we can advise you on the correct disposal route), and certain contaminated materials that require specialist hazardous waste contractors.
How does your service compare to standard kerbside collection?
Standard municipal kerbside collection usually requires a paid bulky-waste tag, items placed outside early in the morning, and several working days' notice. It also does not include carrying items from inside your home. We collect from any floor, on short notice, any day of the week, for items of any weight.
Do you recycle items yourself, or send everything to the landfill?
Neither. We do not use landfill as a primary route, and we do not operate a recycling facility ourselves. Items are assessed, then routed: usable items to donation organisations, recyclables to certified recycling partners, electronics to certified e-waste channels, and only unrecoverable waste to authorised disposal. As a collection and transport service, we hand every item over to the correct certified partner.
Do you offer cleaning services?
Yes. We provide professional cleaning services as a separate, independently bookable service ideal for handovers after a clearance or move-out. It can be combined with your disposal or clearance booking, or requested entirely on its own.
Can you clear a property after a bereavement?
Yes. We handle estate and bereavement clearances with discretion and care. You do not need to be present. We can work with solicitors, property managers, or family members to arrange access. Valuables are set aside for you to review before anything is removed.
