Garden furniture disposal and garden house clearance in Berlin
Whether an allotment plot, a shed behind the house or a weekend plot: we clear garden furniture and the contents of garden houses and summer houses. We leave the green waste and the building itself where they are.
Everything that has gathered over the years
- Garden furniture: tables, chairs, loungers, benches, swing seats, cushions and parasols, in wood, metal or plastic.
- Summer house and shed: old cupboards, shelving, sofas, crockery, flower pots, tools, paddling pools.
- Motorised garden equipment: petrol lawnmowers only with an empty tank. Electrical equipment is disposed of separately as electrical waste.
Included in our fixed price
- Clearing out a summer house, shed or garden house
- Carrying from the garden to the vehicle, even along long paths in the allotment site
- Wood, metal, electrical and residual waste disposed of separately
Collections start from €250. We give the fixed price after photos; tell us how far it is from the gate or car park to the plot.
This stays out or needs another route
Green waste
Branches, hedge and shrub cuttings do not count as bulky waste in Berlin. Small amounts go in the organic waste bin or BSR leaf sacks, larger amounts to a garden waste collection point.
Paints & poisons
Leftover wood preservative, varnish, pesticides, fertiliser and petrol are hazardous waste. Even the recycling centre does not accept barbecue gas bottles.
The building itself
We do not dismantle summer houses, sheds or greenhouses, and we do not tear out foundations. We only clear the contents.
Please tell us beforehand: corrugated sheets on old summer houses and sheds may contain asbestos; do not break them or mix them with bulky waste. Only a specialist firm qualified under TRGS 519 may remove them. For hazardous waste: let us know beforehand and we will work out the right way.
Ask the association first, then clear
- An allotment is leased, not bought. When the tenant changes, the value of the summer house and planting is usually assessed; ask your association about the procedure.
- So ask the committee of your allotment association beforehand what should stay in the summer house and by when the plot must be cleared.
- Access roads in allotment sites are often narrow or closed. Find out where a van may stop.
- If the plot is in Brandenburg, the waste service of the district or the city of Potsdam is responsible rather than the BSR; we come to the surrounding area too.
An honest comparison
The BSR recycling centre accepts single pieces of garden furniture from a Berlin household free of charge, up to 3 m³ of bulky waste, wood, metal and hard plastic per vehicle. Items in good condition also find new owners via classified ads or within the association.
Our collection is worthwhile when a whole summer house is full, the distances are long or there is no vehicle.

When in the year it is easiest
Most summerhouses are cleared in autumn or spring, when a tenant gives up the plot or the season has not started. In winter the water is turned off in many allotment colonies and car access is closed or difficult. That is no reason for us to cancel, but it can make the way longer. Ask the association which gates are open and where a van may stop.
If a surveyor is to value the summerhouse for the handover, wait with clearing until after that appointment if the association requires it. What has to stay in the hut, such as built-in furniture, should be clear beforehand.
Questions about this topic
Do you also take green waste?
No. Green waste is not bulky waste and does not belong in our collection. Small amounts go in the organic waste bin or BSR leaf sacks, larger amounts to a garden waste collection point.
Do you also demolish the summer house?
No, demolition is not part of our services. We clear the contents of summer houses, sheds and garden houses. On an allotment site, the association or landlord decides whether the summer house may be removed at all.
Do I have to be there while it is cleared?
Not necessarily. If the association agrees, a key handover is enough. You get photos of the cleared plot afterwards.
Do you come to the colony in winter?
Yes, if the plot is accessible. Tell us which access is open, and we will plan the way from the van to the summerhouse.
