We clear commercial premises across Zürich - offices, shops, warehouses, workshops, and showrooms. Fixed price. Fully insured. Available the same day.
Whether you are closing a business, relocating to new premises, or preparing a site for renovation, professional clearance services in Zurich make the process straightforward. disposal.ch collects all commercial inventory directly from your site - no skips, no trips to a Recyclinghof, no stress.
Business closures peak between January and March in Zürich, when annual lease agreements expire. Demand rises again from May to June during the renovation season. If your deadline falls in these windows, booking early - or requesting same-day service - avoids delays.
Commercial premises disposal in Zürich is regulated under the USG (Umweltschutzgesetz) and the VVEA (Abfallverordnung). Businesses cannot simply leave items on the kerb or use a Züri-Sack. Illegal dumping on commercial premises carries fines of CHF 200-1'000+. We handle all compliance - from collection to certified disposal - so you do not face any risk.
Commercial waste in Zürich is any waste generated by a business, not a household. This includes furniture, equipment, fixtures, packaging, and electronic items from commercial premises. The ERZ (Entsorgung + Recycling Zürich) provides limited collection for commercial addresses. For volumes above their thresholds, a private service is required.

We remove desks, chairs, filing cabinets, meeting tables, storage units, and partition systems. Desks typically weigh 40-80 kg and require two-person handling. Metal frames are separated for metal recycling; wooden elements go to the Kehrichtverwertungsanlage Hagenholz. If you are clearing an office specifically, full details are on our office clearance page.
Shop fittings - shelving systems, display counters, signage frames, clothing rails, and point-of-sale units - require dismantling before removal. Our team disassembles on-site. For dedicated retail premises clearance, see our shop clearance page.
Monitors, servers, networking equipment, printers, and POS systems are classified as electronic waste (Elektroschrott) under Swiss law and must be processed through SENS or Swico-certified channels. Vorgezogene Recyclingbeiträge (VRB) apply. We handle all documentation. Full compliance details are on our electronic waste disposal page.
Heavy-duty pallet racking, workshop benches, industrial storage systems, and machinery bases require structural disassembly. We carry out safe removal from all floor levels, including basement storage areas.
Kitchen equipment, commercial refrigeration, bar fittings, seating, and café furniture fall under ChemRRV compliance where coolant or refrigerants are present. We arrange certified FCKW handling for all such items.
Many Zürich commercial premises have a Kellerabteil used for document archive storage. We clear boxes, filing systems, and redundant equipment from the basement levels. For standalone basement work, see our basement clearance page.
Bulk furniture from business premises - chairs, sofas, reception seating, and boardroom tables - follows the same material routing as residential furniture. Upholstered items go to textile separation; wooden frames to the Hagenholz facility. Full weight and routing data are on our furniture disposal page.

Commercial lease agreements in Zürich typically require premises to be handed back besenrein - swept clean and empty. Missing a handover date triggers penalty clauses. We offer same-day and next-day clearance for urgent commercial situations, including weekends.
Closing a business is stressful. The last thing you need is to manage the logistics of premises clearance yourself. We work directly with business owners, insolvency practitioners, and estate administrators to clear the site efficiently, with full documentation provided. For property clearances involving private assets as well as commercial contents, our apartment clearance page covers combined scenarios - but for business-specific estates, this page applies.
Many Zürich commercial buildings in Kreise 1, 2, and 4 are historic properties without a lift. We carry items from any floor level. The floor surcharge of CHF 5-10 per floor is always declared upfront in your Fixpreis.
A typical business clearance mixes furniture, IT equipment, and potentially hazardous items (old refrigerants, batteries, FCKW-containing units). Each stream has a different legal routing. We sort everything on-site and route each item type correctly - SENS for electronics, ChemRRV-compliant handling for FCKW items, metal recycling for frames, and Kehrichtverwertungsanlage Hagenholz for residuals.
Insolvency proceedings, insurance claims, and lease dispute resolution sometimes require documented proof of premises clearance. We provide written collection confirmation on request, listing item types removed and destination routing.
Where a business owner passes away, and premises contain both commercial and personal effects, a combined clearance approach is needed. For the residential element, see our apartment clearance page. We handle both in a single coordinated visit where possible.
Every item collected from a business clearance is sorted and routed to a specific facility. Nothing is sent to landfill without prior separation.
