Commercial clearances that municipal collection does not cover, and we do
When a retail lease ends, a shop closes, or a refit begins, the contents need to leave fast. We clear everything from a single display unit to a multi-floor retail space: we pick up from the premises, dismantle where needed, and carry everything out.
Municipal kerbside collection serves private households, not shops, kiosks, or boutiques, and there is no sticker system for commercial premises. We work around your handover date, and we provide separate cleaning services through Züriclean if you need the unit cleaned afterwards.
Shop items and fixtures we pick up
Full retail strip-out: built-in and freestanding fixtures, display furniture, residual stock, signage, IT, and waste.
Retail display fixtures and freestanding furniture
Gondola shelving, wall racks, pedestals, glass cabinets, and mannequins. Heavy bolted runs are dismantled and carried from the floor. Office-style desks and seating in the same space can be picked up as well. See our furniture disposal service.
Built-in fixtures, counters, and cabinetry
Checkout units, custom cabinetry, and fitted shelving, removed carefully to limit wall and floor damage. Heavy counters are broken down on site and loaded by hand.
Signage, lighting, and external fascia
Wall signs, light boxes, LED panels, spotlight tracks, and external fascia. Electrical fittings are disconnected safely, and electronic parts are delivered to recycling centers for electrical appliances. See our electronic waste disposal service.
Stock, packaging, and residual inventory
Unsold stock, cardboard, polystyrene, and packaging. You do not need to pre-sort for the team; we pick everything up and deliver it to the appropriate recycling centers.
Flooring, carpets, and wall coverings
Fitted carpets, vinyl, wall panelling, and decorative coverings, removed and delivered to the appropriate recycling center. See our carpet disposal service.
Back-of-house and stock rooms
Desks, chairs, filing, and small appliances in office or prep areas. For larger IT loads, see our electronic waste disposal service.

Frequently Asked Questions
What items are included in a shop clearance?
Everything: display fixtures, shelving, counters, signage, lighting, POS terminals, carpets, packaging, and residual stock. We dismantle built-in fixtures on site and deliver electronic equipment to recycling centers for electrical appliances. Tell us about any hazardous materials when you request your quote, so we can advise on the correct option.
How quickly can you clear a shop in Zurich?
Same-day clearance is available across Zurich, subject to team availability. Contact us before 10 am for the best same-day scheduling. Next-day slots are reliably available. We work weekdays, evenings, and weekends to meet lease-end deadlines.
Do you pick up from upper-floor shops?
Yes. We carry from any floor, and we confirm the access details in your quote before we arrive.
Can you clear a shop and clean it for handover in one request?
No, we provide them separately. We provide separate cleaning services through Züriclean, which is useful for a landlord handover.
What happens to the fixtures and fittings after removal?
We deliver metal fixtures to metal recycling centers, electronics to recycling centers for electrical appliances, paper packaging to paper recycling centers, and mixed items to recycling centers for mixed waste.
Is it illegal to leave shop fixtures in a public space or communal bin?
Yes. Dumping commercial waste, including fixtures and fittings, in public spaces or communal containers can lead to fines. A booked pickup avoids this risk.
Can you clear a shop that is part of a larger building?
Yes. We clear shop units in multi-unit buildings, including units next to residential spaces. For whole apartments or basements, see our apartment / house clearance and basement clearance services.
