Clearance services in Geneva: removal of bulky items and home recycling

In Geneva, clearing out a flat or getting rid of bulky furniture is often a real headache: old buildings without lifts, narrow stairwells, a shortage of parking spaces and cantonal waste collection centres with limited opening hours. Ecotri Solutions manages your storage room in Geneva From A to Z: we assess, remove, take down, sort and recycle. You don’t have to carry anything or drive anywhere.

 

An international and mobile city, where people move house frequently

The end of an international civil servant’s posting, a transfer, taking over a family flat, or returning a property to the housing authority: in Geneva, people move out of their homes more often than elsewhere, and the deadlines are tight. From Eaux-Vives to Plainpalais, from Champel to La Servette, our team will come to you, handle the removal — including flights of stairs without a lift — and take everything away. You’ll be left with an empty, clean flat, ready for the inventory or the new occupants.

What does a typical procedure involve?

  • We estimate the scope of the work (photos or a visit) and set a fixed price
  • We go downstairs and load up on the spot: floors without a lift, cellars, attics
  • We sort items into reusable, recyclable and residual waste
  • Each type of material is channelled to the appropriate stream, whether that be a waste collection centre or recycling

In practical terms, the vast majority of what we collect from your home does not end up in landfill: anything that can be reused is reused, and the rest is recycled on a material-by-material basis.

How much does it cost, and what does the price depend on?

Unlike a standard removal, which is charged by the hour, a clear-out is mainly priced according to the volume and nature of the items being removed. Three factors influence the quote:

  • The volume — a basement flat or a studio flat does not require the same resources as a large family flat.
  • Access — High floors without a lift, streets with no loading bays, or long distances to carry items all add to the time taken.
  • The type of objects — Household appliances and special waste require dedicated collection schemes, and therefore disposal charges.

Conversely, the proportion that can be reused or recycled may actually reduce the bill. We explain all of this to you in full transparency in the quote.
