Carpet disposal

Carpet disposal in Zurich, lifted, rolled, and recycled

A single rug or full-apartment fitted carpet: we lift or cut on site, carry from any floor, confirm a fixed price, and route textiles and underlay correctly.

Professional carpet removal and disposal in Zurich
  • Zurich and nearby towns
  • Fixed price before we arrive
  • Underlay included when quoted

Fixed price, no hidden fees

Same-day pickup when available

Any floor, with or without lift

Fitted carpet and rugs

Heavy rolls from your floor, not the kerb by 7 am

After a renovation or move-out, fitted carpet and underlay are awkward to roll, heavy to carry, and often over the ERZ 25 kg limit per piece. We collect from inside the property — cutting and rolling included — with no Sperrgutmarke for our service.

Small rugs under 25 kg can go kerbside with an ERZ Sperrgutmarke if you can carry them yourself. For multi-room fitted carpet, upper floors without a lift, or a tight handover date, booked pickup is the practical route.

What we collect

Floor coverings from homes and offices. Mixed renovation waste can be quoted with bulky disposal or clearance if volume goes beyond carpet.

Fitted wall-to-wall carpet

Glued or stretched carpet from single rooms or full flats. We lift or cut into manageable rolls and carry out without leaving adhesive mess behind.

Rugs and runners

Area rugs, hallway runners, and stair carpets. Small pieces can be combined with other disposal on the same visit.

Carpet underlay and padding

Foam, felt, or rubber underlay removed with the carpet. Quoted together so nothing is left for a second trip.

Office and commercial carpet tiles

Modular tiles from offices and shops. Collected in stacks and routed for textile or licensed thermal recovery.

Stair and corridor carpet

Narrow, awkward lengths from stairwells and halls. Protected carrying through shared areas.

Mixed textile flooring

Needle-felt, loop-pile, and worn covering from renovations. Assessed for recycling or licensed processing.

How it works

  1. 1

    Send photos

    WhatsApp or the booking form. We look at room count, underlay, floor access, and approximate area, then send a fixed price — usually within a few hours.

  2. 2

    Agree a time

    Same-day before midday requests when capacity allows, next-day, or a planned renovation date across Zurich and nearby towns.

  3. 3

    We collect

    The team lifts or cuts carpet, rolls it, removes underlay if quoted, and carries from any floor. Stairs and door frames are protected.

  4. 4

    Route and recycle

    Textiles and underlay go to certified textile processing or licensed thermal recovery. Nothing left as fly-tipped rolls.

Fixed-price quotes

You receive a written price before the team arrives. Photos, postcode, floor, lift access, and whether underlay is included are what we need.

  • On this service, quotes for a small rug start from CHF 80.
  • Full-apartment carpet removal across multiple rooms is often in the CHF 320–550+ range, depending on area, floors, and underlay.
  • Carrying from upper floors is included in the quote as a CHF 5–10 per-floor surcharge — never added on the day.
  • ERZ kerbside collection uses a Sperrgutmarke at CHF 9 per 25 kg unit and does not collect from inside the building.

If rugs are already at ground level, under 25 kg each, and you can place them at the kerb yourself, ERZ stickers can be cheaper. We say so when that is the case.

What happens after collection

Carpet and underlay are assessed for textile recovery or licensed processing. Illegal dumping is never an option.

  • Synthetic pile carpet

    Textile recycling where accepted, otherwise licensed thermal recovery

  • Natural-fibre rugs (wool, sisal)

    Textile collection or specialist processing

  • Foam underlay

    Licensed thermal recovery (e.g. Hagenholz)

  • Felt or rubber underlay

    Separated and routed to appropriate licensed streams

  • Carpet tiles (office)

    Batch textile or thermal recovery by material type

  • Adhesive residues / contaminated sections

    Licensed waste stream; assessed case by case

English and German on site

Useful for international households with a Swiss move-out or landlord deadline.

Frequently asked questions

Can I put a carpet in Sperrgut in Zurich?

Yes — carpets are combustible Sperrgut. You can place them kerbside with an ERZ Sperrgutmarke (CHF 9 per 25 kg unit). Most fitted-carpet rolls from a standard room exceed 25 kg and need multiple stickers or a private collection.

How much does carpet disposal cost in Zurich?

Prices start from CHF 80 for a small rug and range to CHF 320–550+ for full-apartment carpet across multiple rooms. Size, floors, lift access, and underlay set the final fixed price — confirmed before we arrive.

What is the difference from ERZ bulky waste collection?

ERZ needs a Sperrgutmarke, up to three working days’ notice, and items at the kerb by 7 am. We collect from your floor with no weight limit, same-day options when capacity allows, and a fixed price agreed in advance.

Do you collect carpet from upper floors without a lift?

Yes. We collect from any floor across Zurich. A floor surcharge of CHF 5–10 per floor applies without a lift and is always included in the quoted price.

How long does a carpet collection take?

A single room of fitted carpet typically takes 20–35 minutes. Multi-room jobs of three to four rooms take about 1–2 hours. We give an arrival window and aim to finish within the agreed slot.

Can you collect the same day?

Often yes when you request before midday in Zurich Kreise 1–12. Outer zones (Winterthur, Uster, Dübendorf and nearby) depend on the day’s schedule — WhatsApp for the fastest confirmation.

What is a Sperrgutmarke for carpets?

It is an ERZ disposal label (about CHF 9) for kerbside bulky waste up to 25 kg per piece. Suitable for small rugs you can carry yourself. Larger rolls usually need a private service.

Can you combine carpet disposal with clearance and cleaning?

Yes. Carpet pickup, property clearance, and post-clearance cleaning through Züriclean can run as one sequence for move-outs, renovations, and handovers.
