Bike, pram and play equipment disposal in Berlin
The children have grown up, the bike has stood in the basement for years, the trampoline has faded: someone can still use a lot of it. Whatever no longer works is mostly metal or plastic and easy to recycle.
Anything that still works often finds a new owner
- Give away or sell: prams, balance bikes, children's bikes and play equipment are in demand via classified ads and neighbourhood groups.
- The BSR's NochMall: the BSR's second-hand department store accepts items in good condition, directly there or at some recycling centres. The BSR lists which points currently accept items.
- Social organisations: family centres and clothing banks sometimes take prams or toys; call first.
- With us: by arrangement we pass items in good condition on to charities.
Included in our fixed price
- Bikes from the basement, yard or attic, several at once too
- Dismantling garden play equipment, as long as it is not set in concrete
- Separated into metal, plastic and bulky waste, disposed of properly
Collections start from €250. You get the fixed price after photos via WhatsApp, in writing.
Bikes, children's rooms and gardens
Bikes & scooters
Old bikes, kick scooters, balance bikes and bike trailers, rusty or in pieces too. Bikes go for recycling as scrap metal.
Prams & co.
Prams, buggies, high chairs, playpens, ride-on toys and large plastic toys.
Garden play equipment
Swing frames, slides, trampolines, climbing frames and sandpits made of wood or plastic, dismantled and taken away.
Please note: take the battery out of an e-bike or e-scooter beforehand and return it to a specialist dealer. Toys with a battery or cable are electrical waste. Posts and foundations set in concrete stay in the ground. We do not take other people's bikes or apparently abandoned bikes from the yard or bike cellar; that is a matter for the property manager.
Take it away yourself or have it collected?
A bike or pram is easy to push or ride to the BSR recycling centre yourself: scrap metal, bulky waste and hard plastic from Berlin households are accepted free of charge, up to 3 m³ combined per vehicle. The BSR Kieztag is another option. Our collection is worthwhile when a whole bike cellar is full, garden play equipment first has to be dismantled or you are clearing the basement or attic anyway.

Tidying up the bike cellar
In many Berlin apartment buildings the bike cellar holds bikes nobody has moved in years, and often nobody knows whose they are. You still may not simply remove them. Usually the property manager tags the bikes, puts up a notice in the building and sets a deadline. Anyone who wants to keep their bike removes the tag.
After the deadline we clear what is still tagged on behalf of the manager and hand over a list with photos. The bikes go for recycling as scrap metal. How exactly the deadline must look is for the manager to clarify; it is not a question we can decide for you.
Questions about this topic
Where does the e-bike battery go?
Not in household waste and not in bulky waste. Specialist dealers take back e-bike batteries, usually where they were bought. We are happy to take the bike without the battery.
Do you also take a single bike?
Yes, collections start from €250. But for a single bike you can take to the recycling centre yourself, that costs more than necessary, and we will tell you so.
Do you also dismantle a trampoline?
Yes, we dismantle trampolines, swings and slides and take them away. Posts and foundations set in concrete stay in the ground, though.
Do you clear the bike cellar for the property manager?
Yes, once the manager has tagged the bikes, put up a notice and the deadline has passed. We then clear only what is still tagged and document it with photos.
What happens to the bikes?
Roadworthy bikes we pass on as agreed, the rest goes for recycling as scrap metal. E-bike batteries are disposed of separately.
