Sofa and furniture disposal in Berlin
The old sofa will not fit in the car and the wardrobe will not fit through the stairwell? We dismantle, carry out and dispose of it properly, or tell you honestly when the recycling centre is cheaper.

How a sofa gets through the stairwell
Most sofas got into the flat somehow. They do not always leave the same way, especially if a new radiator now hangs in the hallway or the front door was replaced. Corner sofas can almost always be split into their parts, often with a few turns on the connecting fittings. Sofa beds are harder because the steel folding mechanism is heavy and bulky.
Before we reach for the saw we check whether feet, armrests or backs can be unscrewed. We only cut up what is going for disposal anyway and cannot be carried otherwise. Some charity shops take upholstered furniture that is still good, if it is clean and stain-free. That is worth asking before the sofa goes for disposal.
Questions about this topic
Do I have to empty the wardrobe beforehand?
Ideally, yes. If that is not possible, tell us what should happen to the contents and we will clear them out too.
What happens to furniture that is still good?
By arrangement we pass furniture in good condition on to charities. The rest is separated and disposed of properly.
Is collection worthwhile for a single sofa?
If you can take it to the recycling centre yourself, that is usually cheaper. Collection is worthwhile when several items come together or the sofa has to be carried down from an upper floor.
Do I have to bring the sofa to the front door?
No. We collect it where it stands, even from the fourth floor without a lift. Carrying is included in the fixed price.
What does it cost to have a sofa collected?
Collections start from €250, including carrying, dismantling and disposal. If it is not worth it for a single sofa, we tell you honestly and point you to the cheaper BSR option.
