Clearance & Disposal

We clear furniture, household goods, textiles, books, electrical appliances, bulky waste and general clutter, from a single room to a whole property. We cannot accept hazardous waste such as paints, solvents, chemicals, asbestos, gas cylinders or ammunition; these must be taken to specialised collection points. If you're unsure about an item, just ask us.

Wherever possible, reusable items in good condition are passed on to local charities and donation points. Everything else is sorted and taken to authorised municipal or cantonal collection points (ecocentri) for recycling or disposal. Electrical and electronic appliances are returned through the SENS and Swico take-back systems.

Yes. Disposal fees at the ecocentro or municipal collection points are included in our clearance quotes, unless the quote explicitly states otherwise. The quote tells you exactly what is included, so there are no surprises when the job is done.

It depends on the charity, as each organisation accepts different things and has its own needs. As a rule, items must be clean, working and in good condition, for example undamaged furniture, complete sets of crockery or intact household appliances. We sort out what can be reused and coordinate with local charities, but we cannot guarantee that a particular item will be accepted.

Yes. We know that clearing the home of a loved one is a difficult moment, and we work with discretion, respect and patience. We agree in advance which items the family wants to keep; please remove valuables and important documents beforehand. Any personal documents or photos we still come across are set aside and handed over to you. We work at a pace that suits you and can also coordinate directly with the heirs or the property management.

Yes. Cellars, attics, garages and storage rooms are among the spaces we clear most often. Please tell us about the access (stairs, narrow passages, lighting) and any heavy items, and send a few photos so we can estimate the volume. Remember that hazardous substances such as old paint, engine oil or gas cylinders cannot be taken.

After a clearance the rooms are left empty and broom-clean, ready for the handover, a sale or the next tenant. Thorough cleaning is not part of our service.

Before the clearance, please remove all documents, cash, jewellery, data carriers and other valuables you want to keep, and clearly mark anything else that must stay. We are not required to search through the items, but if we come across something that seems valuable or personal, such as documents, photos, cash or jewellery, we set it aside and hand it over to you. Everything we take away becomes our property: where possible it is donated, otherwise recycled or disposed of properly, and it cannot be reclaimed afterwards.

Of course. You show us what stays and what goes, and we remove only the items you have chosen, whether it's a single piece of furniture, one room or the whole property. Clearly marking the items to keep, for example with coloured stickers, helps avoid misunderstandings.
