Request clearance with a room-by-room inventory
Start with an inventory of the spaces to be cleared. Distinguish furniture, appliances and belongings that are staying. Partially clearing one room differs from a whole home or an office with several workstations. The displayed starting price relates to the selected clearance; the actual scope is assessed beforehand.
Prepare the furniture and carrying route
Provide estimated volume, floors and separate entrances. Remove personal documents and valuables. Identify heavy furniture, fixed attachments and any dismantling needed. Arrange who will provide access and which rooms or items must remain untouched.
What belongs in this request?
Construction waste and chemical waste are excluded. Clearance does not automatically include cleaning, demolition, removing connections or meeting a landlord’s handover requirements. Explain such wishes beforehand and wait for a confirmed description of the work.
Describe the scope
Share the number of workstations, furniture and appliances, and add any relevant details.
Building access
Mention the floor, lift, loading access and anything else relevant to removing the items.
What is excluded
Construction and chemical waste are outside this service.
From your room to the collection van
Walk the complete carrying route before submitting the request. Include internal doors, stair turns, thresholds and the distance to a possible loading space. Measure a lift’s doorway and interior rather than simply stating that a lift is present. If items are in several rooms or storage spaces, describe each starting point. Photographs of difficult passages are useful alongside the measurements.
An appointment is confirmed after assessment
Enter your preferred date and, if possible, an alternative. The inventory, address, access and schedule need assessment before the collection is confirmed. Submitting the form does not reserve a date or guarantee same-day service. Coordinate a new furniture delivery or key handover only after confirmation. Payment follows the agreed collection; you do not pay when submitting the request.
A clear calculation
What does clearance collection cost?
Start with the €75 base fee per collection. Add the item prices multiplied by their quantities and any applicable access or arrival-window surcharges. All amounts include VAT. Clearance prices are starting prices: the volume and work must be assessed.
| Item | Price incl. VAT |
|---|---|
| Full home clearance | From €295 |
| Partial home clearance | From €175 |
| Full office clearance | From €350 |
| Additional workstation | €45 |
| Other office inventory | €125 |
Floor, lift and arrival window
For each item with an item price above €50, lift use adds €10 with a suitable lift; without a lift, the surcharge is €10 per item per floor. The standard arrival window adds €0, a half-day window €15 and a three-hour window €25. Describe uncertain access or extra work before confirmation.

Reuse, municipal collection or collection from your home?
If furniture is clean and usable, ask a new owner or reuse shop about acceptance first. Agree who will carry it out and arrange transport. For discarded furniture, check the bulky-waste rules for the actual address: appointment requirements, presentation times and accepted materials differ by municipality. Indoor collection is useful when the carrying and transport need arranging too; describe your situation for assessment.

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.
