How exactly does a garden shed clearance work?

First we survey the garden shed , sort the items into recyclables, hazardous waste and usable items and draw up a fixed price. On the day itself our team quickly clears everything out, disposes of it properly and hands the space over swept clean. Depending on the scope, the entire clearance usually takes just a few hours.

Do I have to be personally present at the clearance?

In principle you do not need to be present, as long as access and arrangements have been clearly communicated to us in advance. Many customers hand us the keys and have their garage cleared while they are at work. We document the process transparently and keep you informed about important decisions at all times.

How quickly can a clearance be carried out?

We often clear smaller garages or garden sheds in a few hours, and larger ones in a day. We agree the date after the survey; when we can come depends on how busy we are. For a speedy clearance , it helps if you have decided beforehand what stays.

What happens to still-usable items?

We sort well-preserved furniture, tools or bicycles separately and pass them on for reuse, donation or second-hand use wherever possible. That way only items that are truly unusable end up in the rubbish during the clearance , while valuable resources are sensibly preserved.

Is the clearance of my garage covered?

We take responsibility for damage we cause to the door, walls or remaining contents during the clearance. Before clearing, we look at narrow passages and sensitive spots; move anything valuable that is to stay out of the way beforehand. Exactly what our tasks are when clearing the garage is stated in the quote.

Do you also offer clearances nationwide?

We are based in Berlin (Stromstraße 21) and carry out clearances mainly here. If a move to another city follows, we take it on as a long-distance move ; places with their own pages can be found under Locations . That way the clearance can be combined with the transport.

Can I have my garage and garden shed cleared at the same time?

Of course – many customers have both areas cleared in a single appointment to save time and costs. We prepare a combined fixed price for this and plan the clearance so that the garage and garden shed are completely emptied in one day.

What is included in the fixed price for the clearance?

The fixed price includes staff, transport, proper disposal and handing over the premises swept clean. Extra costs only arise in special cases not discussed beforehand, such as extremely heavy bulky waste. That way the clearance remains predictable for you from the start.

How can I prepare for the clearance?

The easiest way is to secure important and personal items in advance and tell us about any special requests or valuables. We take care of everything else during the clearance of your garage and garden shed, from sorting to proper disposal.

Do you also clear out before a planned move?

Yes, many customers use the clearance specifically before a private move to avoid unnecessary transport effort. That way only things that are really needed move with you, while surplus household items from the garage and garden shed are disposed of properly.

STRESS-FREE MOVING

Clearing Out Your Garage & Garden Shed

Q: Are paints and chemicals disposed of properly?

Paints, varnishes, waste oil and chemicals are hazardous substances and must not go into bulky waste. In Berlin, the BSR hazardous waste collection points accept them from private households free of charge up to 20 kg per type of waste per day. Set such leftovers aside separately for the clearance ; what we can take on from these we clarify during the survey.

Clearing a garage and garden shed: what goes where

Sort before you clear

Unsere Firma Professional on-site moving solutions with secure planning, flexible services and on-time execution.

A garage or garden shed rarely contains just bulky waste. Alongside old bicycles and garden furniture there are old tyres, leftover paint, engine oil, lawn fertiliser, broken electrical appliances and garden cuttings – and each of these groups has its own route in Berlin. Sorting before you clear saves trips and costs. This is especially worthwhile before a private move, because only what is really needed should come to your new home. Our House clearance page describes how we handle a clearance.

If you take things away yourself, the BSR recycling centres accept them from Berlin private households as follows (as of January 2025): bulky waste up to 3 m³ per delivery and tree and shrub cuttings up to 1 m³ free of charge, electrical appliances free, old tyres at €3 each (over 1 m: €8). Paints, waste oil and pesticides go to the hazardous waste collection point (Schadstoffannahme), free of charge up to 20 kg per type of waste per day. The BSR does not accept propane gas bottles – they go back to the dealer. What we collect and dispose of is stated in the fixed price beforehand.

CLEARED, SORTED

How we clear garages and garden sheds

Sort first, then carry

We are based in Berlin (Stromstraße 21) and clear garages and garden sheds following a fixed pattern: first you decide what stays, is sold or is given away. We separate the rest into bulky waste, metal, wood and electrical appliances. You set aside hazardous substances such as paint or oil separately; what we can take on from these we clarify during the survey. You receive the fixed price beforehand, and we take responsibility for any damage we cause.

Old tyres

Do not belong in bulky waste: the BSR recycling centre accepts them for €3 each, tyres over 1 m for €8.

Paint & oil

Leftover paint, waste oil and antifreeze are hazardous substances; the hazardous waste collection point accepts up to 20 kg per type of waste per day free of charge.

Garden cuttings

Tree and shrub cuttings up to 1 m³ are free of charge at the recycling centre; leaves go in the BSR leaf sack for €5 per sack.

Gas bottles

The BSR does not accept propane gas bottles – return them to the dealer or to an exchange point for liquefied gas.

SEPARATED PROPERLY

Our services at a glance

When clearing out a garage and garden shed, good preparation saves money and trips. These six points should be done before clearance day – from marking items to keeping the way clear.

Reliable moving service

Mark what stays: tools, bicycles or garden tools that are moving with you get a coloured ribbon.

Safe handling

Put paint tins, oil and pesticides in a separate box – hazardous substances must not go into bulky waste.

Clear communication

Unscrew gas bottles from the barbecue or patio heater and return them to the dealer before the clearance.

Structured move planning

Tell us how many old tyres there are – even at the recycling centre, tyres are charged per item.

Flexible support

Old corrugated fibre cement sheets on the roof or walls may contain asbestos: do not break them and clarify the procedure with a specialist firm beforehand.

Keep access clear

Make sure the garage door opens and the path to the garden shed is clear – otherwise just carrying things out will take longer.

FOR WHAT STAYS

Whatever stays travels on a shared load

Ideal for just a few pieces of furniture

After clearing out, often only a little remains: a lawnmower, a workbench, a few boxes of tools. For small amounts like these, a shared load to your new home can be cheaper than a dedicated transport – the items travel on a lorry that is heading in that direction anyway.

EUROPE-WIDE MOVES

From
planning to assembly

We take care of every detail

Having a garage cleared is often the first step before a larger move, as many items are no longer needed after the move. The same applies to clearing a garden shed when a house sale or new letting is coming up. We combine this service seamlessly with our classic Private move service so that you get everything from a single source. For long-distance moves, too, we take care of the complete clearance beforehand so that only the essentials arrive at the destination.

Planning safe and relaxed

A good checklist coordinates dates, helpers and materials early. That way your home move, senior move or student move in Berlin stays transparent, structured and markedly easier to control.

Furniture, boxes, transport routes

With a suitable packing service, careful furniture transport and a flexible small transport, ways can be shortened, damage avoided and even narrow approaches in Berlin managed cleanly in logistical terms.

Costs, timing and special cases

Clear time windows and suitable solutions for an office move, company move, authority move, part load or furniture taxi create reliable processes and better plannable total costs in Berlin.

FAQ

Questions about garages and garden sheds

Costs, process, hazardous substances, tyres, duration and liability – answered briefly.

The cost depends on the size, how full it is and the type of items. After a short survey we prepare an individual fixed-price quote so that you face no hidden extra costs. That way you know exactly what amount to expect before the clearance begins, as long as the scope matches what was seen during the survey.

Typical items when clearing a garage and garden shed

Most garages contain old tyres, tools, paint tins, bicycles and discarded furniture that block the space for a car or workshop. Garden sheds are often piled high with garden tools, potting compost, lawnmowers and decorations from past seasons that have long since stopped being used. During our clearance we sort everything properly into recyclables, hazardous waste and items that can still be used.

Paints, varnishes and batteries in particular are hazardous waste and must never end up in household rubbish. In Berlin, the BSR hazardous waste collection points accept them from private households free of charge up to 20 kg per type of waste per day. Propane gas bottles are not included – the BSR does not accept them, and they go back to the dealer.

This is how a professional clearance proceeds

After a short initial consultation by phone, we arrange an appointment at which we view the garage or garden shed in person and estimate the effort involved. You then receive a binding fixed-price quote covering all services, including transport and disposal. On the agreed day our team clears out all items and separates them into bulky waste, metal, wood and electrical appliances.

After the clearance we hand the premises over to you swept clean and ready for their new use. On request we combine this service directly with your planned move, so that you can get two jobs done in one appointment.

What a move costs – clearly explained

Transparency matters to us. That is why you will find our guide prices here: 1-room flat from €354, 2-room flat from €584, 3-room flat from €899, 4-room flat from €1,299. For a house or villa you always receive an individual quote tailored to your needs. Long-distance moves are no problem either – here we calculate from €4.15 per kilometre. The calculation is most accurate with a free survey on site.

What does the price of your move depend on?

Basically, the price depends on the volume of your belongings and the distance between the old and new address (from €4.15/km). The floor and lift also play a role, as does any parking restriction zone that may be needed. Anyone booking furniture assembly or a shared load should factor this in too.
