Introduction
disposal.ch is your professional partner for disposal services in Zurich and the surrounding cantons. We collect furniture, bulky waste, electronics, and entire clearances - directly from your door, at a fixed price, with no hidden charges. From a single sofa to a full house clearance, we handle the work so you do not have to.
We are operated by Specialclean Züri GmbH, a Zurich-based company with extensive local experience in disposal, clearance, and cleaning services. Our team knows Swiss disposal regulations by name - ERZ guidelines, VVEA compliance, Züri-Sack rules, and the difference between a Sperrgutmarke and standard kerbside collection. You get the right outcome without having to research the rules yourself.
Our approach is straightforward: send us photos, receive a fixed price, and confirm the date. No hourly rates, no surprises on the invoice, no stress. Whether you need one item removed or a full property cleared, the process is the same.
Who We Are
Company Profile
disposal.ch was founded to fill a clear gap in the Zurich market. Most disposal companies either quote by the hour - making final costs unpredictable - or require you to bring items to a drop-off point yourself. We do neither. We come to you, carry items from any floor, and give you a written fixed price before we begin.
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. That means shorter communication chains, more reliable timekeeping, and a cleaner result. Our clients range from private households and expats navigating Swiss waste rules for the first time to property managers coordinating multi-flat clearances.
disposal.ch sits within a network of specialist sister companies: zuericlean.com and zuericlean.ch for cleaning services, sofaclean.ch and polsterclean.ch for upholstery care, and mattressclean.ch for mattress cleaning. This lets us offer combined solutions - disposal and cleaning, for example - under one booking.

What We Do: Our Services
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. Our furniture disposal service covers everything from single chairs to full room sets. For old upholstered pieces, our sofa disposal team handles collection and correct recycling of foam, springs, and fabric. Worn-out beds and mattresses are collected through our mattress disposal service. Old appliances and devices go through electronic waste disposal, processed through SENS and Swico in line with Swiss VRB regulations.
We also collect flooring through our carpet disposal service. All item weights, sizes, and conditions are confirmed in your written quote before we arrive - no guesswork on the day.
Clearance Services
For larger projects, we offer complete room and property clearances. Storage rooms and loft spaces are handled through basement clearance. For moves, vacant properties, or estate situations, our team manages a full apartment clearance from start to finish - including coordination with letting agents and estate administrators where needed.
Our Sustainability Commitment
Every item we collect follows a defined material routing process. We do not simply remove and tip. We sort, separate, and direct materials to the correct certified facilities.
| Material | Disposal Route | Standard / Body |
|---|---|---|
| E-waste (WEEE) | SENS / Swico - VRB system | SENS / Swico certified |
| Wood and furniture | Kehrichtverwertungsanlage Hagenholz (KVA) | ERZ-compliant |
| Metals (steel, aluminium) | Certified scrap dealer, Zurich | USG / VVEA compliant |
| Upholstered items / textiles | Textile recycling or KVA Hagenholz | ERZ-compliant |
| Hazardous waste (chemicals) | Certified special waste contractor | ChemRRV compliant |
| Residual waste | Züri-Sack / Kehrichtverwertungsanlage | ERZ Zurich |
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 of our 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. January to March and May to June are peak periods for moves and renovations in Zurich - earlier booking is always better during those months.
Estate clearance and bereavement
Clearing a flat or house after a bereavement requires discretion and patience. Our team works calmly and methodically, taking care of personal belongings and coordinating with family members or estate representatives. For a full apartment clearance following the loss of a loved one, we are here to take on the heavy lifting - literally and logistically.
Renovation clearance
Old kitchen units, flooring, wood panelling, and renovation debris all need to go before or after a renovation project. We carry items from any floor and load them directly. There is no minimum quantity - if you only need two items collected, we collect two items.
Combining disposal with cleaning
If you need the property left in a clean condition after the clearance - for a tenancy handover, for example - our sister company zuericlean.com provides professional end-of-tenancy cleaning that can be added to the same booking. For a complete solution covering disposal, clearance, and cleaning in one visit, see our overall clearance service.
