Basement Clearance in Zurich
Basements and cellars tend to collect things for years without anyone noticing until a move, a sale or a renovation forces the issue. Boxes, old furniture, tools and forgotten seasonal items build up in a space that's rarely easy to access, often down a narrow staircase with limited light.
We clear basements and cellar storage across Zurich, carrying everything up and out so you don't have to. Collection can cover a single storage room or an entire basement level, and the price is agreed as a fixed amount before we start, regardless of how far things need to be carried.

What's included
Basement clearance covers what's actually stored down there, whatever mix that turns out to be. Old appliances left in storage, such as a spare fridge or freezer, are handled the same way as items on our Electronic Waste Disposal page rather than treated as general storage.
• Boxed belongings: old paperwork, books and general household storage
• Furniture: wardrobes, chairs, tables and shelving no longer used upstairs
• Tools and equipment: workbenches, tool cabinets and DIY or gardening equipment
• Seasonal items: bikes, sports gear, holiday decorations and off-season belongings
Why basement clearance is its own service
A basement rarely holds just one type of thing, and getting it all out brings a few challenges a normal room clearance doesn't:
Awkward access
Narrow stairs, low ceilings and limited lighting make moving bulky items slower and more careful work. Our team handles the carrying and removal safely through these restricted spaces.
A mix of everything
Storage boxes, old furniture, tools and seasonal items are often piled together rather than organised by type. We sort through the different items as part of the clearance instead of requiring you to separate everything first.
Furniture is often part of it
An old wardrobe or set of shelves stored downstairs is collected the same way as items on our Furniture Disposal page, just carried up from further away. This makes it easier to clear bulky furniture and other basement contents in one visit.
How it works
1. Describe roughly what's down there and how it's accessed — we give you a fixed price.
2. Book a collection slot that suits your schedule.
3. Our team carries everything up and out of the basement.
4. Items are transported to the appropriate recycling or disposal point.

Access and tight spaces
Basement access can make clearance harder than a normal room. Narrow stairs, low ceilings and tight doorways are common. Letting us know about the access in advance helps us bring the right equipment and plan the job properly.
What we don't take from a basement
Basement clearance covers household storage, furniture, tools and similar belongings. Paint, chemicals, gas canisters and building rubble need separate handling and aren't included as standard. If bulky items and old appliances are also involved, our Bulky Waste Disposal service can often cover everything in one booking.
Common reasons for a basement clearance
Basement clearances tend to come up around a handful of situations rather than out of nowhere: preparing a property for sale or a new tenant, clearing out a family home after a move, converting unused storage into a livable room, or simply reaching a point where years of storage need to be dealt with in one go. The approach is the same either way — the job is scoped around what's actually down there, not around why it's being cleared, but mentioning the context when requesting a quote can help with timing, especially if it's tied to a moving date or a sale deadline.
