Decluttering before the move
Every cubic metre less makes your move cheaper
Before a move you realise how much has accumulated in the basement, attic and storeroom. Whatever is not coming along has to go before the apartment handover. We collect it – whether individual pieces of furniture, a basement clearance or an entire apartment.
We sort by material and take everything to the appropriate facilities. We return electrical appliances to official collection points: in Switzerland, their return is already paid for through the advance recycling fee.
- Clear price: CHF 65.– per m³ plus labour for carrying and transport.
- Everything from a Single Source: Clearance, disposal and end-of-tenancy cleaning.
- Disposed of separately: Wood, metal, bulky waste and electrical appliances.
- On moving day: can be combined without an additional trip.

I was very satisfied with the moving services and the cleaning work. The furniture was properly packed and handled with care. The subsequent cleaning was also carried out professionally, so the handover went through without any issues. What's more, all the staff were extremely friendly. I can only recommend the company.

The move went perfectly. The team was upbeat, friendly and very careful. They also worked extremely efficiently, so they were even faster than originally planned. On top of that, the price was very good. I can warmly recommend Swiss Umzüge.
