Furniture pickup knowledge centre

Find the answer for your furniture and address

Start with the item you want removed. Use the local guide for municipal bulky-waste rules, and the price guide for our collection costs. This keeps the decision practical: what can go, who carries it out and what needs arranging?

Where does this information come from?

furniturepickup.nl publishes these guides about its collection service. Prices come from the same furniture catalogue used by the request form. Municipal conditions are linked to the relevant council or waste collector and carry a source-check date. Storage branches link to the providers’ own information. Collection photographs show our supplied images from Leiden; they are labelled with the actual location.

Access, accepted materials and collection times can change. Check the official source for your address before presenting bulky waste. Our own pickup arrangements are confirmed after assessment of your request. About furniturepickup.nl

From one sofa to several rooms

The answers below cover old furniture, damaged sofas, cabinets, beds and appliances. The correct type and quantity form the basis of the request. For local bulky-waste conditions, see the location page for the collection address. For your own furniture, start a request and review the price breakdown.

Frequently asked questions

Who collects old furniture in Amsterdam?

You can request furniture collection from furniturepickup.nl. List the items and explain access at your address in Amsterdam. For municipal bulky waste, use the rules for Amsterdam; charity shops or a new owner may be an option for usable furniture, subject to acceptance.

How much does furniture pickup cost?

The base fee is €75, plus item prices and any applicable surcharges, including VAT. A single two-seat sofa at €60 gives a ground-floor total of €135 with the standard arrival window. The address and inventory are assessed before confirmation.

Is furniture pickup in Amsterdam free?

Our collection service is paid. For household bulky waste through Amsterdam, the published position is: Free drop-off at a Recyclepunt; check collection arrangements for your address. Free collection is not the same as help carrying furniture out of your home. Use the local guide for the municipal conditions at your collection address.

How do I get rid of an old sofa?

If the sofa is still usable, first check whether someone will accept it for reuse. For collection, select the actual sofa size and describe detachable modules, its floor and the route outside. Mention a separate ottoman or armchair individually rather than assuming it is part of the sofa.

Can you collect a broken sofa?

Describe the damage, such as a cracked frame or faulty reclining mechanism, and include dimensions. A broken sofa needs an assessment of its condition and carrying route before acceptance. Photos can show loose or sharp parts; do not present the sofa as intact if it is unstable.

Can an old wardrobe be collected?

Select the appropriate cabinet size and state whether the wardrobe is assembled or in panels. Empty it and describe mirrors, glass and wall fixings. Dismantling is not automatically included. The largest component must be considered when assessing doors and stairs.

Can I have just one chair collected?

You can submit a request for one chair. An ordinary dining chair has an item price of €10; adding the €75 base fee gives €85 before applicable extras. Office chairs and armchairs have their own categories. The base fee is not waived for a small item.

Can you take a bed and mattress together?

Describe the bed frame, bases, headboard and mattress, then check what the chosen product includes. Select an additional mattress separately where needed. Electrical bases and a box spring should not be described as a light empty frame. List any bedside tables as separate furniture.

Do you collect washing machines and fridges?

The form includes appliance categories. A washing machine has an item price of €55, excluding the base fee and applicable extras. Choose the correct fridge size and explain any built-in fittings. Empty appliances and arrange safe disconnection; installation work is not automatically included.

When is bulky waste collected in Amsterdam?

Use the rules for Amsterdam and check your address or appointment confirmation. The published presentation information is: From 21:00 the evening before collection; outside by 07:00. Check whether your address needs a booking or uses a scheduled day. These municipal instructions do not describe the appointment time for our separate furniture collection service.

Do I need to put furniture outside?

For an agreed collection from inside your home, keep the items at the described location unless another arrangement is confirmed. Municipal collection has its own outside-presentation rules. Do not put furniture beside a communal waste container in anticipation of an unconfirmed pickup.

Can you carry furniture downstairs?

Describe the stairs, turns and lift dimensions. For items priced above €50, access adds €10 per item with a suitable lift or €10 per item per floor without one. An unusable lift does not remove the need to assess the stairs.

Can I request urgent pickup in Amsterdam?

State your preferred date and explain any deadline. Same-day or next-day pickup is not guaranteed when submitting. The inventory, access and schedule must first be assessed. Wait for confirmation before treating the collection as booked.

When do I pay for collection?

You do not pay when submitting the request. Payment follows immediately after the agreed collection under the confirmed arrangements. Review the items, quantities and access details beforehand; a price example on the page is not a confirmed quote for a different inventory.

What cannot go with the furniture?

Construction waste and chemical waste are outside this furniture collection service. A cabinet request does not automatically include everything stored inside it. Use the available item categories and describe anything unusual in advance; unlisted items are not automatically accepted.

Can usable furniture go to a charity shop?

Ask the shop whether it accepts the specific item and who handles transport or carrying. A clean chair or complete table may suit reuse, but acceptance is not guaranteed. Keep any furniture accepted by another party separate from your final pickup inventory.
