Overall Clearance Zurich: Disposal & Clearance for Your Property
Clearing a whole property in Zurich? Our Clearance Service covers every category, with one team and one fixed price. Complete property clearance in Zurich: one team one fixed price. Every disposal and clearance category is covered.
What “Complete” Really Means
Complete means exactly that: every disposal category and every clearance category disposal.ch offers, combined into one booking instead of several. One team, one visit, one invoice. Cleaning is not part of this combined visit, it is offered separately: if the property needs to be cleaned after the clearance, just let us know and we will arrange it as its own service.
Disposal categories covered
Who This Is For
Tight Move-Out Deadlines
Zurich tenancy end dates fall on fixed quarter dates, and a property often needs to be fully cleared, and sometimes cleaned, before a handover inspection. We coordinate the clearance around that single deadline rather than around our own schedule, and can arrange cleaning separately alongside it if the handover requires it.
Bereavement and Estate Clearance
Clearing a family home after a bereavement involves every category at once: furniture, personal belongings, often a full basement or garage. We work at a pace the family sets, set valuables aside for review, and can proceed without anyone present if that is easier.
Renovation Clearance
A full renovation often means stripping a kitchen, removing old flooring, clearing a basement, and disposing of furniture that won't return, all before the contractors start. We schedule around your renovation timeline, not the other way round.
Letting-Agent and Landlord Handover
Landlords and letting agents managing a property between tenants need it cleared, and often cleaned, to a specific standard on a specific date. We handle the clearance itself and can arrange cleaning as a separate service alongside it. We document what was removed, so the handover has a clear record behind it.
How Overall Clearance Works
- 1
Send photos or walk us through the property
A few photos or a short video of each room, including basements or storage, is enough for us to scope the job accurately.
- 2
Get one fixed price for the clearance
Disposal and clearance are confirmed as a single written price before any date is booked. If cleaning is also needed, we quote that separately.
- 3
Choose your date
Same-day, next-day, or a planned date around your move-out or handover deadline, seven days a week.
- 4
We clear the property in one visit
Our team handles every category in the right sequence, sorting materials for donation, recycling, or disposal as they go.
What Happens to Everything We Remove?
Every item removed during an overall clearance follows the same responsible routing as our individual disposal services. Usable furniture is offered to donation partners first, and everything else is sorted by material and delivered to the correct certified recycling facility or licensed disposal contractor. disposal.ch is not a recycling centre, and we are not a formal partner of any recycling centre, we simply handle the pickup, sorting, and delivery so you don't have to. For more detail on how that process works, see our Recycling Pickup Service Zurich page.
Pricing by Property Size
Because an overall clearance covers an entire property rather than a single item, pricing is structured around property size, scope, and access conditions rather than around individual objects. Any applicable floor or access surcharge is disclosed in the written quotation before work begins. Once agreed, the fixed price does not increase for access conditions that were accurately disclosed before booking. If the agreed scope changes, we provide a revised quotation and confirm it with you before any additional work.
| Property size | Typical scope | What affects your price |
|---|---|---|
| Studio / 1-room flat | Furniture, kitchen items, and general household disposal | Volume, floor and lift access |
| 2-3 room flat | Full furniture and room-by-room clearance across several rooms | Number of rooms, disassembly needs, basement or storage included |
| House or multi-room property | Every room plus basement, garage, and outdoor storage | Total volume, number of floors, access for larger items |
| Commercial or shop premises | Fixtures, fittings, stock, and office furniture | Fixture removal, data-bearing equipment, access hours required |
Figures are not shown here because every property is different. Send a few photos or a short video and we confirm a written fixed price before anything is booked. Cleaning is not included in this pricing, it is quoted separately if you need it.
Common Challenges We Solve
Coordinating Disposal and Clearance Separately
Booking separate providers for disposal and clearance means schedules to align and invoices to reconcile. An overall clearance removes that problem for the disposal and clearance side, one team handles the sequence in the right order. If cleaning is also needed, we arrange that separately once the clearance date is set.
Mixed-Use Properties
A property with a flat, a basement storage unit, and a garage does not fit neatly into one category. We treat it as a single job and quote it as one, rather than asking you to book each space separately.
Properties With No Lift
Older Zurich buildings without a lift add time and effort to any clearance. Any applicable floor surcharge is disclosed upfront in the written quote, and our team carries items down safely regardless of the number of storeys.
Short Notice
Same-day and next-day slots are available for urgent situations, subject to capacity. Sending photos as early as possible, even a rough description, helps us confirm availability faster.
Frequently Asked Questions
What does an overall clearance include?
Every disposal category (furniture, electronics, mattresses, and more) and every clearance category (apartment, basement, office, business, and shop) that disposal.ch offers, combined into one booking. Cleaning is available as a separate service if the property also needs to be cleaned afterwards.
How is pricing calculated for a full property clearance?
Pricing depends on property size, total volume, and floor and lift access. We confirm a written fixed price after reviewing photos or a short video, before anything is booked. Cleaning is quoted separately if needed.
Do you also offer cleaning after a clearance?
Yes, as a separate service. If the property also needs to be cleaned once the clearance is done, let us know and we will arrange professional cleaning separately from the clearance booking, rather than as part of the same visit.
How long does an overall clearance take?
A studio or small flat is often completed within a few hours. Larger properties, houses, or jobs that include a basement or garage may need a full day or a scheduled second visit, which we confirm in advance.
Do you handle bereavement or estate clearances?
Yes. We work at the pace the family sets, set aside valuables and personal items for review, and can proceed without anyone present if that is easier during a difficult time.
What happens to the items you remove, are they recycled or thrown away?
Usable items are offered to donation partners first. Everything else is sorted by material and delivered to a certified recycling facility or licensed disposal contractor. We are not a recycling centre ourselves and simply handle the pickup and delivery.
Do you clear commercial properties and shops too?
Yes. Overall clearance covers offices, shops, and business premises, including fixtures, fittings, and office furniture, alongside residential properties.
How much notice do you need?
Same-day and next-day slots are available depending on capacity. For larger properties or a fixed handover date, booking a few days in advance gives us more scheduling flexibility.
