Electronic waste pickup from inside your home
Electronics may not go in household bins or the standard waste bag. TVs, fridges, washing machines, PCs, and small appliances must leave through authorised Swiss channels. We pick up from inside the property, so you do not need to travel to a recycling center or guess which drop-off accepts which device.
Single light items that you can carry yourself may be taken to a recycling center or a participating retailer on your own. If you need home pickup, upper-floor carry-out, bulk kitchen appliances, or safe fridge disposal, a booked pickup is the practical route.
Electronic waste we pick up in Zurich
We pick up household and commercial e-waste of any size, including appliance rooms and office IT. For related items, see our kitchen items disposal, bulky item disposal, and furniture disposal services.

LCD, LED, OLED, and older CRT televisions. We carry screens from any floor and deliver them to recycling centers for electronic devices.
Computers and IT equipment
Desktops, notebooks, servers, printers, and networking gear. We deliver them to recycling centers for IT equipment.
Fridges and freezers
Units containing refrigerant gas need special handling. We pick them up and deliver them to a recycling center equipped for it. They are not suitable for kerbside collection or casual drop-off. See also our kitchen items disposal service.
Washing machines and large white goods
Washers, dryers, dishwashers, and similar appliances that are too heavy for kerbside collection. We dismantle them for stair transport when needed. For larger loads, see our bulky item disposal service.
Small household appliances
Microwaves, vacuums, kettles, toasters, and kitchen gadgets. A single light item can be taken to a recycling center on your own; we pick up several small appliances and kitchen items from your property.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I dispose of old electronics in Zurich?
Send us photos via WhatsApp or the booking form. We check the devices, send a quote, usually within the hour, arrange the pickup for your preferred date, and deliver the devices to recycling centers.
Why can electronics not go in household waste?
Electronics contain materials that must be handled separately, so they cannot go in household bins or the standard waste bag. They must leave through authorised channels, and we deliver them to recycling centers.
Where can I drop off e-waste in Zurich?
Many household electronics can be taken to a local recycling center or a participating electronics retailer. Single light items are the easiest to take yourself. For heavy items, upper floors, or if you have no transport, we pick them up from your property.
Can you pick up a fridge or washing machine from the upper floor?
Yes. We regularly pick up fridges and washing machines from upper floors without a lift, using suitable equipment. Fridge refrigerants need special handling, so we deliver fridges to recycling centers equipped for it.
What should I do about data on hard drives?
Physically erase or destroy drives before handing devices to any disposal service. Software-only deletion is not enough for sensitive data. You can remove the drive yourself or ask us to refer a specialist. We pick up machines with the drives already removed without any issue.
Do you clear office IT in bulk?
Yes. We handle SME and office clearances of 10-50+ devices, with a basic inventory on request, and deliver the devices to recycling centers for IT equipment. For office furniture, see our furniture disposal service.
Can I combine e-waste pickup 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.
