Mattress disposal

Fast mattress disposal in Zurich, from your bedroom to recycling

A single mattress from a top-floor flat or a boxspring set before handover: we collect from your room, confirm a fixed price, and separate springs, foam, and fabric for certified Swiss processing.

Collected from your room, not the kerb

Mattresses are Sperrgut in Zurich — too bulky for a Züri-Sack and awkward to drag to a Recyclinghof. We collect singles, doubles, foam, latex, and boxsprings from inside the property and route them through certified recycling.

An ERZ Sperrgutmarke is about CHF 9 per piece, with a 25 kg limit and kerbside placement by 7 am on weekdays. A typical double mattress often needs two markers plus your own carrying. If you need upstairs pickup, weekends, or a short deadline, a booked collection is the simpler route.

What we collect

Mattresses and bed bases of all sizes for homes, hotels, and rental properties. Bulk quantities can be quoted as a scheduled commercial pickup.

Single and double mattresses

Spring, foam, and hybrid mattresses of all standard sizes. Carried with protection for walls and door frames.

Boxspring beds

Bases and mattresses in one visit. We disassemble standard frames on site and route springs, upholstery, and foam separately.

Foam and latex mattresses

Polyurethane foam and latex that cannot go through ordinary Sperrgut streams. Foam typically goes to thermal recovery at Hagenholz; latex to specialist polymer processors.

IKEA and flat-pack mattresses

All common retail models regardless of brand. Brand labels do not change pricing or recycling routing.

Toppers and bed bases

Mattress toppers, slatted frames, and matching bases collected with the mattress when needed.

Hotel and rental bulk

Scheduled clearances for hotels, furnished flats, and property managers. Volume pricing for larger batches.

How it works

  1. 1

    Send photos

    WhatsApp or the booking form. We look at size, type, floor access, and whether a boxspring is included, then send a fixed price — usually within a few hours.

  2. 2

    Agree a time

    Same-day if you contact us by midday, next-day, or a planned move-out date. Seven days a week across the city, subject to capacity.

  3. 3

    We collect

    The team arrives, protects walls and door frames, and carries the mattress from your room to the vehicle. No kerbside wait for you.

  4. 4

    Separate and recycle

    Steel springs to scrap metal, foam toward Hagenholz thermal recovery, fabrics and natural materials to licensed processors. Landfill is not the default.

Fixed-price quotes

You receive a written price before the team arrives. Photos, postcode, floor, and lift access are what we need for an accurate quote.

  • On this service, quotes for a single mattress at ground level start from CHF 80.
  • A typical double mattress on an upper floor without a lift is often CHF 100–140.
  • A complete boxspring set starts from CHF 140, with standard-frame dismantling included on request.
  • Carrying from upper floors is included in the quote as a CHF 5–10 per-floor surcharge — never added on the day. ERZ Sperrgutmarke is about CHF 9 per piece and does not include carry-out from the room.

If you can transport a mattress under 25 kg yourself, free Recyclinghof drop-off at Hagenholz or Wolfswinkel can be cheaper. We say so when that is the case.

What happens after collection

Each mattress is taken apart by material stream. Springs, foam, and textiles follow certified Swiss routes — not a single dump-all pile.

Why this service

Price agreed in writing

The quote is confirmed by WhatsApp or email before collection. Floor access and boxspring dismantling are in that figure when they were in the photos.

From your bedroom, not the street

We carry the mattress out. That is the main difference from ERZ kerbside collection with a Sperrgutmarke.

Material-correct recycling

Springs, foam, and fabric are separated. Hagenholz and licensed partners handle streams that cannot be landfilled as ordinary household waste.

English and German on site

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

Frequently asked questions

How much does mattress disposal cost in Zürich?

Quotes start from CHF 80 for a single mattress at ground level. A typical double on an upper floor without a lift is CHF 100–140. Floor surcharge CHF 5–10 per floor is always itemised in the Offerte. Send a photo for an exact Fixpreis.

What is the difference between ERZ Sperrgutmarke and disposal.ch?

ERZ needs a Sperrgutmarke (about CHF 9 per item, max 25 kg), three working days’ notice, and kerbside placement by 7 am — weekdays only. We collect from your room, any floor, same-day or next-day, including weekends. Free Recyclinghof drop-off remains an option if you have a vehicle.

Can you collect a boxspring bed as well as the mattress?

Yes. Bases and mattresses go in one visit. Disassembly of standard frames is available on request at no extra charge. Complete boxspring sets start from CHF 140.

Are mattresses recycled or sent to landfill?

They go through certified Swiss channels. Steel springs to scrap metal, foam to Hagenholz for thermal recovery, natural materials to appropriate processors. Landfill is not our default route.

How quickly can you collect my mattress in Zürich?

Same-day if you contact us by midday. Next-day is available seven days a week. During January–March move-outs and May–June renovations, early booking helps secure your slot.

Do I need to take my mattress to the ERZ Recyclinghof myself?

Not with us — we collect from the property. If you prefer the free ERZ option and have transport, Hagenholz (Kreis 12) or Wolfswinkel (Kreis 11) are common drop-offs.

Do you collect mattresses from hotels and rentals in bulk?

Yes. Scheduled bulk collections for hotels, furnished flats, and property managers. Volume pricing from five or more mattresses. Early-morning slots available to limit guest disruption.

Can I combine mattress disposal with clearance and cleaning?

Yes. Mattress pickup can be booked with apartment or overall clearance, and handover cleaning through Züriclean, as one sequence. Ask for a combined quote by WhatsApp or the booking form.
