Office clearance in Zurich — what you need to know

Relocating, downsizing, or closing a floor: you need a team that understands Swiss disposal law, carries heavy desks from upper floors, and works around business hours — not a skip left at street level.

Illegally dumping office waste in Zurich can mean fines of CHF 200–1'000+ under USG. We collect mixed loads from your premises, sort on site, and route electronics through SENS and Swico so lease handover and audit records stay clean.

Office items we collect

Single rooms to full floors. Desks, IT, seating, carpets, and breakroom appliances can share one fixed-price visit.

Desks, workstations, and storage

Standard desks (40–80 kg), standing desks over 100 kg, metal shelving, pedestals, and filing cabinets. Dismantled and carried from any floor, goods lift or not.

Office chairs, sofas, and breakroom furniture

Task chairs, meeting-room sofas, and breakroom seating as standard bulky items. Foam and fabric separated at processing.

Electronics, IT equipment, and servers

Computers, monitors, printers, and servers via SENS (consumer electronics) and Swico (professional IT). Secure physical destruction of data media on request for DSG / GDPR.

Office flooring and carpets

Carpet rolls and vinyl tiles rolled, bagged, and removed. Synthetic fibres and adhesive-backed tiles follow specialised routes.

Kitchen appliances and breakroom equipment

Fridges, microwaves, coffee machines, and dishwashers in the same clearance. Older FCKW fridges handled under ChemRRV-compliant rules.

Mixed and residual office waste

Cardboard, packaging, and unsorted leftovers sorted on site — recyclables and residual to ERZ-approved streams, avoiding Sonderabfall contamination.

How it works

  1. 1

    Request a free quote

    WhatsApp or the booking form with photos if possible. Fixed-price offer usually within a few hours. Same-day appointments when capacity allows.

  2. 2

    Confirm time and access

    Choose a slot including evenings and weekends. Tell us the floor, goods-lift status, security passes, and parking. We plan around building rules.

  3. 3

    On-site collection and sorting

    We dismantle where needed, carry from every floor, and sort: electronics to SENS/Swico, metals to scrap, reusable pieces to donation, residual to licensed facilities.

  4. 4

    Sign-off and confirmation

    Walkthrough when the space is clear. Disposal confirmation on request for lease handover or company records. Invoice, bank transfer, or cash as agreed.

Fixed-price quotes

You know the cost before we arrive. Volume, item mix, floor access, and urgency drive the figure — never a surprise surcharge except what was already written.

  • On this service, office clearances typically range CHF 150–1'500+ depending on volume and access.
  • A typical 10-person office is often CHF 600–950.
  • Floor carry is quoted as CHF 5–10 per floor above ground. Same-day urgency may add CHF 80–150 when capacity allows.
  • ERZ Sperrgutmarke on this page is listed at CHF 3 per item for small self-transported loads; Recyclinghof drop-off remains free for electronics you can take yourself.

If you have only one or two small items and can transport them yourself, the ERZ Recyclinghof (e.g. Hagenholz) is a genuine free option. We mention that honestly — for mixed floors, IT bulk, or no goods lift, door-to-door clearance is the practical route.

What happens after collection

Every load is sorted under VVEA before disposal. Named streams — not vague “eco-friendly” claims.

Frequently asked questions

How much does office clearance cost in Zurich?

Office clearance in Zürich costs CHF 150–1'500+, depending on volume, item types, and floor access. A 10-person office typically ranges from CHF 600 to 950. A fixed quote is provided before collection — no surprises. Floor surcharges (CHF 5–10/floor) are always stated upfront.

What is the difference between office clearance and ERZ Sperrgut collection?

ERZ Sperrgut requires advance arrangement, you must bring items to street level, and waits can be 3–10 days. disposal.ch collects from your floor, same-day if needed, handles mixed loads, and routes all materials compliantly. ERZ is free for small volumes that you can self-transport.

Can you do office clearance on a weekend or outside business hours?

Yes. We offer evening and weekend slots specifically for offices that cannot be cleared during business hours. Tell us your access requirements when requesting a quote, and we will schedule accordingly.

How should IT equipment and electronics be disposed of in Zurich?

IT equipment must be recycled through SENS or Swico-certified channels — not placed in general waste. disposal.ch routes all electronics correctly. Hard drives can be physically destroyed on request for data security compliance under Swiss DSG and GDPR.

What happens if I need to clear an office at short notice?

Same-day and next-day appointments are available, subject to capacity. A CHF 80–150 urgency surcharge may apply for same-day requests. WhatsApp or the booking form — we typically confirm quickly when a slot is open.

Is it legal to leave old office furniture on the street in Zurich?

No. Placing office furniture on public streets or in non-designated areas is illegal in Zürich and carries fines of CHF 200–1'000+ under USG. Always use ERZ Sperrgut (with Sperrgutmarke), an ERZ Recyclinghof, or a registered disposal service like disposal.ch.

Can I combine office clearance with professional cleaning in one request?

Yes. disposal.ch partners with Züriclean for end-of-tenancy and post-clearance office cleaning. Request both services together — clearance first, cleaning on the same day or the next. One contact, one invoice.
