Clearance Costs: What does a household clearance cost?

If you’re planning a household clearance, one of the first questions that likely comes to mind is:
“What will it cost?”

At Rümpel-Held.de, we believe in full transparency — no hidden fees, no last-minute surprises. In this post, we’ll break down what affects clearance pricing, give you realistic cost examples, and help you understand what you’re really paying for.


💡 What Factors Affect the Cost of a Household Clearance?

Several factors can influence the price of your clearance project:

1. Size of the Property

  • A single room costs less than a full 4-room apartment or house.

  • Larger spaces = more labor, more volume = higher cost.

2. Volume & Type of Items

  • Is it mostly furniture? Light junk? Heavy waste?

  • Electronics, bulky furniture, or hazardous items may incur special disposal costs.

3. Accessibility

  • Is the home on the ground floor or 5th floor without an elevator?

  • Are there parking restrictions or narrow hallways?
    All of this affects the workload and time needed.

4. Sorting & Disposal Fees

  • Items must be sorted for recycling, donation, or waste.

  • We follow all regulations and partner with licensed recycling centers — which come with disposal fees included in the price.

5. Special Services or Extras

  • Express (24h) clearance

  • Final cleaning

  • Renovation waste or biohazard disposal
    These optional services can affect your final price.
