Who we are

disposal.ch is your professional partner for disposal services in Zurich and the surrounding region. We collect furniture, bulky waste, electronics, and full clearances — directly from your door, at a fixed price, with no hidden charges.

We were founded to fill a clear gap in the Zurich market: transparent fixed prices, door-to-door collection from any floor, and responsible material routing — without hourly rates or drop-off chores for you.

We are not a broker or a call centre. When you book with us, you deal directly with the team that carries out the work. Our clients range from private households and expats navigating Swiss waste rules for the first time to property managers coordinating multi-flat clearances.

Our approach is straightforward: send photos, receive a fixed price, confirm the date. From a single sofa to a full house clearance, the process stays the same.

What we do

We operate across two main categories: disposal services for individual items, and clearance services for rooms, floors, or entire properties.

Disposal services

We collect a wide range of items directly from your home or business — from single chairs to full room sets, sofas, mattresses, carpets, wood, bulky waste, and electronics processed through SENS and Swico in line with Swiss VRB rules.

Weights, sizes, and conditions are confirmed in your written quote before we arrive.

Clearance services

For larger projects we clear storage rooms, lofts, apartments, offices, shops, and full properties — including coordination with letting agents and estate administrators where needed.

Sustainability

Every item we collect follows a defined material routing process. We sort, separate, and direct materials to the correct certified facilities — we do not tip everything into a single skip.

MaterialDisposal routeStandard / body
E-waste (WEEE)SENS / Swico — VRB systemSENS / Swico certified
Wood and furnitureKehrichtverwertungsanlage Hagenholz (KVA)ERZ-compliant
Metals (steel, aluminium)Certified scrap dealer, ZurichUSG / VVEA compliant

Free option worth knowing: if you have just one or two small items and can transport them yourself, dropping them at the ERZ Recyclinghof is free of charge. We mention this openly — even when it means you do not need us.

Situations we help with

Moving out under time pressure

Many clients contact us a few days before a handover deadline. We are used to short-notice bookings and can often collect on the same or the following day. The fixed price applies to express jobs just as it does to pre-planned bookings.

Estate clearance and bereavement

Clearing a flat or house after a bereavement requires discretion and patience. Our team works calmly and methodically, coordinating with family members or estate representatives when needed.

Renovation clearance

Old kitchen units, flooring, wood panelling, and renovation debris need to go before or after a project. We carry items from any floor. There is no minimum quantity.

Combining disposal with cleaning

If the property must be left clean after clearance — for a tenancy handover, for example — our sister company can provide professional end-of-tenancy cleaning under one booking.

Frequently asked questions

Is disposal.ch fully insured?

Yes. Every job is covered by public liability insurance. Before we begin, you receive a written fixed-price quote — no hidden charges and no additional invoices after the work is done.

Which areas does disposal.ch cover?

We cover all 12 districts of Zurich city and surrounding towns, including Winterthur, Uster, and Dübendorf. If your postcode falls outside our usual area, send us a message and we will check.

How do I get a quote?

Send photos of your items and your address via WhatsApp or email. We return a fixed price — usually within one to three hours. You can also use the booking form. No obligation until you are happy with the price.

What is the difference between disposal.ch and ERZ Zurich?

ERZ operates free drop-off points at Recyclinghof sites across the city. disposal.ch collects from your property — including upper floors and at short notice — without a Züri-Sack or Sperrgutmarke. For one or two small items you can carry yourself, the Recyclinghof is a good free option. For larger volumes, heavier items, or when time is tight, our service is simpler.

Does disposal.ch work sustainably?

Yes. Materials are sorted and directed to the correct certified facilities. E-waste goes through SENS and Swico under the VRB system. Wood and furniture are processed at KVA Hagenholz. Metals go to certified scrap dealers. Hazardous materials are handled in accordance with ChemRRV.

Are there any hidden costs?

No. Every quote is a fixed price. Floor surcharges — CHF 5 to 10 per storey above ground level — are always written into the quote before you confirm. There are no hourly rates and no post-job invoices.

Can I combine disposal with a professional clean?

Yes. Through our sister company zuericlean.com, you can book a professional end-of-tenancy or post-clearance clean alongside your disposal. Both services can be coordinated under one booking.
