INTRODUCTION

Getting rid of a mattress in Zürich is not as simple as putting it outside. The Züri-Sack (Zürich's official household waste bag system) cannot hold a mattress. Placing a mattress on the street without a booked collection is illegal and can result in a fine. Many residents — especially those moving out of a flat — are left wondering what to do.

The official route is the Recyclinghof Werdhölzli, run by ERZ (Entsorgung + Recycling Zürich). Mattresses can be dropped off there at no charge. But you need a vehicle large enough to transport it, which rules out most city residents. Booking the ERZ Sperrgutabfuhr (bulky waste collection) is another option, but it comes with a waiting time of several days to weeks.

One booking, one team, one fixed price. And if you also need an end-of-tenancy clean, Züriclean can do both in a single visit.

MATTRESS TYPES WE COLLECT

01

Spring Mattresses (Bonnell & Pocket Spring)

Spring mattresses are among the most common in Zürich's rented flats. They contain metal springs, polyester fabric, and foam layers — all of which need to be separated for correct recycling. A standard double spring mattress typically weighs between 20 and 35 kg. We carry it out, regardless of how many floors up you are.

02

Cold Foam & Memory Foam Mattresses

A king-size memory foam mattress can weigh up to 50 kg. Our team always works in pairs for heavy lifts.

03

Latex Mattresses

Natural latex mattresses are denser and heavier than most other types. Latex is a recyclable material, but it requires specialist processing. We ensure latex mattresses go to the correct facility — not general waste.

04

Mattress Toppers

No separate booking needed.

05

Children's & Cot Mattresses

Smaller mattresses from children's beds and cots can be collected alongside an adult mattress or as a standalone booking. They follow the same recycling process as full-size mattresses.

06

Sofa Bed & Fold-out Mattresses

HOW IT WORKS

4 Simple Steps — We Handle Everything

01

Request a free quote.

Fill in our online form or call us. Tell us the mattress type, size, and floor. You receive a written quote — fixed price — within a few hours.

02

Book your collection date.

Choose a date that suits you. We offer same-week availability across Zürich and the Canton of Zürich.

03

We carry it out.

Our team arrives at the agreed time, carries the mattress down the stairs, and loads it onto our vehicle. You do not need to carry anything or be present for the whole process.

04

We recycle it correctly.

Your mattress is transported to the appropriate recycling facility for material separation. If you need a written confirmation of disposal (Entsorgungsnachweis), we can provide one on request.

Mattress Disposal + End-of-Tenancy Cleaning — One Booking

No competitor does this. Most people disposing of a mattress in Zürich are also moving out of a flat and need it cleaned for the landlord inspection.

When you book both services together, you get:

One booking, one team, one visit

no coordinating between two companies

Mattress collected before cleaning begins

we clear the room first, then clean it thoroughly

Handover-ready results

the flat is cleaned to the standard required for your Wohnungsübergabe (flat handover)

A single fixed-price quote

covering both services, with no hidden extras

What Happens to Your Mattress After Collection

We do not send mattresses to a general landfill. Every mattress we collect is taken to a specialist recycling facility where materials are separated and processed correctly under Swiss environmental law (USG — Umweltschutzgesetz).

Here is what happens to the main materials:

01

Metal springs (Federkern):

Separated and sent to metal recycling — steel is fully recyclable.

02

Polyester and foam layers:

Separated by type and sent to appropriate industrial recycling streams.

03

Natural latex:

Processed at specialist latex recycling facilities.

04

Memory foam (Viscoschaum):

Shredded and repurposed as acoustic insulation or carpet underlay where possible.

05

Outer fabric and textiles:

Separated for textile recycling or energy recovery.

Every disposal complies with BAFU (Bundesamt für Umwelt) guidelines.

Mouldy, Damaged, or Pest-Affected Mattresses — What You Need to Know

This is a topic no other disposal company in Zürich addresses — but it comes up regularly. A mattress that has been affected by mould, urine, or a pest infestation (such as bedbugs) cannot simply be collected in the normal way.

Why it matters: A heavily soiled or bedbug-affected mattress poses a contamination risk to other items being collected and to the vehicle. Mould spores can spread. Bedbugs can transfer. Professional handling is needed from the moment we arrive.

Here is how we handle hygiene-compromised mattresses:

01

Protective wrapping at your door

we wrap the mattress in heavy-duty protective sheeting before carrying it through common areas of the building, preventing contamination of the staircase or lift.

02

Separate vehicle loading

hygiene cases are kept separate from other collected items.

03

Disposal at a certified facility

mould-contaminated and pest-affected mattresses are classified as problematic waste under Swiss regulations and must be handled accordingly.

04

No judgement, no questions

we work discreetly. This situation is more common than people expect, especially in older buildings.

If you are not sure whether your mattress qualifies as hygiene-compromised, contact us, and we will advise you before booking. A surcharge applies for protective handling — this is reflected in your quote.

Frequently Asked Questions

Guide prices start from CHF 79 for a single mattress with standard access. The price depends on size, weight, material, and the number of floors involved. You receive a fixed written quote before we visit — no surprises on collection day.

No. The Züri-Sack is for household waste up to a certain size and weight — a mattress does not fit. Placing a mattress on the street without a booking is also not permitted in Zürich and can result in a fine. The official options are the Recyclinghof Werdhölzli, ERZ Sperrgutabfuhr, or a private collection service like ZüriClean.

We typically offer availability within the same week. If you need a same-day or next-day collection, contact us directly — this is often possible, subject to a small surcharge for short-notice bookings. We aim to respond to all quote requests within a few hours.

If you have a vehicle and time, the free option is to drop your mattress at the Recyclinghof Werdhölzli (no charge for residents). If you are moving out, short on time, or do not have transport, ZüriClean collects from your door for a fixed price — including stair-carrying. If you also need the flat cleaned, we can combine both in one visit.

We do not send mattresses to the landfill. Every mattress is taken to a recycling facility where metal springs, foam, fabric, and latex are separated and processed. This is compliant with Swiss environmental law (USG). We can provide a written disposal confirmation (Entsorgungsnachweis) if you need one for your records.

Yes. We handle hygiene-compromised mattresses with protective wrapping before carrying the mattress through your building. These cases are treated as a separate service with appropriate handling procedures. A surcharge applies — this will be clearly stated in your quote. Contact us to discuss before booking.

ZüriClean is the only company in Zürich that offers both services. You get one quote, one team, and one invoice.

Yes. We carry mattresses down any number of flights of stairs. Our team always works in pairs for heavy items. A small staircase surcharge applies per floor above the second floor — this is included in your quote. We confirm the access conditions before finalising the price.

We collect all common mattress types: spring (Federkernmatratze, Taschenfederkernmatratze), cold foam (Kaltschaum), memory foam, latex, and mattress toppers. Cot mattresses and fold-out sofa bed mattresses are also accepted.
