Clearing a Zurich apartment the right way
Whether you are ending a tenancy, downsizing, or handling an estate, a full clearance means furniture, appliances, textiles, and boxed household items leave the flat, not just one or two pieces at the kerb.
Municipal kerbside collection needs a sticker, has a weight limit per piece, needs advance notice, and does not carry from inside. For upper floors, heavy wardrobes, or a short handover deadline, we pick up from the rooms and take the load away on your booked date. Illegal dumping in Zurich can lead to fines.
What we clear from Zurich flats
We clear whole apartments and houses, or most of the contents. For basement storage, see our basement clearance service.
Furniture: beds, wardrobes, sofas, tables
Wardrobes, beds, tables, chairs, shelves, and dressers. We dismantle where needed and carry from any floor. See our furniture disposal service.
Sofas and upholstered seating
Sofas, sectionals, armchairs, and sofa beds. We pick them up and deliver them to a suitable recycling center. A single sofa alone can use our dedicated sofa disposal pickup instead.
Mattresses
Foam, pocket-spring, latex, and hybrid mattresses. We deliver them to a recycling center for mattresses. See our mattress disposal service.
Electrical appliances and e-waste
Fridges, washing machines, TVs, computers, and small appliances, delivered to recycling centers for electrical appliances. See our electronic waste disposal service.
Clothing, textiles, and soft furnishings
Clothing, curtains, cushions, and rugs. We pick them up and deliver them to a textile recycling center.
Miscellaneous household and boxed items
Crockery, books, tools, and mixed boxes. We pick everything up from the rooms and deliver it to the appropriate recycling centers. See also our bulky item disposal service.

Why customers choose our apartment and house clearance service
Quote agreed in writing
The quote is confirmed by WhatsApp or email before the clearance. Stairs and volume are included when they are visible in the photos.
From your floor, not the street
We carry the contents out of the apartment. That is the main difference from municipal kerbside collection.
Move-out and apartment handover
Short lease deadlines are common. Same-day and next-day slots help you hand back an empty flat without leftover items.
Bereavement and estate clearance
Discreet handling after a loss. We work at your pace, and our English and German team helps internationals who are unfamiliar with local bulky-waste rules.
Cleaning for handover
End-of-tenancy cleaning is a separate service. We provide separate cleaning services through Züriclean for an apartment ready for handover.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I arrange an apartment clearance in Zurich?
Send photos of the main rooms and the largest items via WhatsApp or the booking form. We send a quote, usually within a few hours, and arrange the date with you.
Can you carry furniture from upper floors without a lift?
Yes. We carry all items on foot using the stair-carry technique, and we confirm the access details in your written quote before we start.
Do I need a bulky-waste sticker for apartment clearance in Zurich?
No. The sticker is only required for municipal kerbside collection. When you book disposal.ch, we handle the transport and the delivery to recycling centers, with no stickers, no kerbside preparation, and no waiting period.
How quickly can you clear an apartment?
Most 2-3 room apartments are cleared in 2-4 hours. Larger estates with heavy furniture may take a full day. Same-day and next-day appointments are often available, especially in January to March and May to June.
What happens to the items after pickup?
We deliver them to recycling centers: furniture and textiles, mattresses, electrical appliances, and metal parts each go to the matching recycling center.
Can you clear an apartment after a bereavement?
Yes. We handle estate clearances with care and discretion. We work at your pace and can coordinate with family members or solicitors. Contact us via WhatsApp for a sensitive conversation.
Can I book clearance and end-of-tenancy cleaning together?
No, we provide them separately. We provide separate cleaning services through Züriclean, so the apartment can be handed back ready for the final walkthrough with your landlord.
