Pickup from inside your home, not only from the kerb
Municipal kerbside bulky-waste collection needs a sticker, has a weight limit per piece, requires placement at a set time, and needs several working days of notice, weekends excluded. We pick up mixed bulky items from inside the property, with no sticker needed for our service and no weight limit on the pieces.
If the pieces are already at ground level, within the municipal weight limit, and you can move them yourself, a sticker can still be an option. For upper floors, mixed loads, or a short deadline, a booked pickup is usually simpler and avoids illegal dumping fines.
Bulky items we pick up in Zurich
We pick up combustible and mixed oversized household waste. If a load is mostly one category, see our dedicated pages: sofa disposal, carpet disposal, kitchen items disposal, and electronic waste disposal.
Furniture and large household pieces
Sofas, wardrobes, tables, shelves, and mixed room contents. We dismantle on site where needed for stair access. See our furniture disposal service.
Mattresses and bed bases
Single pieces or sets with other bulky items. We pick them up and deliver them to a suitable recycling center. See our mattress disposal service.
Carpets and flooring rolls
Rugs and fitted carpet rolled for transport. Heavy rolls are a common reason to book a pickup. See our carpet disposal service.
Appliances and electronics
White goods and electronic waste, delivered to recycling centers for electrical appliances. Fridges need special handling of their refrigerants, so we deliver them to recycling centers equipped for it. See electronic waste disposal and kitchen items disposal.
Renovation leftovers
Offcuts, old fixtures, and mixed project waste that does not fit a standard bag or sticker pile.
Garden and outdoor bulky items
Oversized outdoor pieces and mixed garden clear-outs. Treated timber is checked so that it is delivered to the right recycling center. See our wood disposal service.

Frequently Asked Questions
What counts as bulky waste?
Bulky waste means large household items such as furniture, mattresses, and carpets that cannot go in a standard waste bag.
Do I need a bulky-waste sticker?
For municipal kerbside collection, yes, and the stickers are available from post offices and selected retailers. If you book disposal.ch, you do not need a sticker for our service.
Can you pick up from upper floors without a lift?
Yes. This is one of our most common requests. We carry items down staircases with suitable equipment and protect walls, floors, and door frames.
What can you not take?
We cannot take materials containing asbestos (a licensed specialist is required), liquid chemicals such as paints and solvents (hazardous waste), and gas cylinders. For everything else, including furniture, electronics, appliances, and renovation materials, we can help or advise on the correct option.
How much notice do you need?
Same-day or next-day pickup is often available. Contact us before noon for same-day pickup in the Zurich area. Peak periods are January to March and May to June, so booking ahead helps then.
What happens to the items after pickup?
We deliver the items to recycling centers: wood, metal, and textiles to the matching recycling centers, and electronics and appliances to recycling centers for electrical appliances.
Can you combine bulky disposal with clearance and cleaning?
No, we do not combine them. For emptying a whole apartment, see our apartment / house clearance service. We provide separate cleaning services through Züriclean.
