Junk Removal in Gothenburg

Preparing for your junk removal in Gothenburg

You don't really need to do much at all – our young workers handle the heavy work. But if you want to speed things up and keep the cost down, there are a few simple things you can do:

Clear a path (about 1 metre wide) from the entrance to the items that need to go. If you live in an apartment, check if there is a courtyard or loading zone we can use – it saves time compared to parking on the street. In central Gothenburg, especially around Avenyn and Vasaplatsen, parking can be challenging, so let us know when booking if you have access to a garage entrance or courtyard.

Gather the items in one place if possible, for example in the hallway or one room. You don't need to disassemble furniture – we include that in our service if needed. We cannot take hazardous waste such as paint, batteries and chemicals, but you can drop those off for free at Gothenburg's recycling centres.

Neighborhoods and municipalities we cover in Gothenburg

We perform junk removal across the entire Gothenburg region – from the city centre to the outskirts and surrounding municipalities. Whether you live in an apartment in Majorna, a villa in Torslanda, a townhouse in Kortedala or an office on Hisingen, we can be on site, often the same day.

In central Gothenburg (Linnéstaden, Vasastan, Haga, Masthugget, Johanneberg) we have extensive experience with the specific challenges that older buildings present – narrow stairways in landshövdingehus, tight passages and limited options for parking near the entrance. Gothenburg also has many three-storey wooden buildings that require extra care when carrying heavy items.

On Hisingen (Lundby, Backa, Torslanda, Biskopsgården, Eriksberg) and in eastern Gothenburg (Kortedala, Gamlestaden, Angered, Örgryte) we reach you quickly thanks to good access to Götaleden, the E6 and E45 motorways. The same goes for surrounding municipalities like Mölndal, Partille, Kungälv, Lerum and Kungsbacka – we get there without issue and without extra charges for the area.

Recycling and environmental responsibility in Gothenburg

An important part of our junk removal in Gothenburg is that everything is handled in an environmentally responsible way. We sort the materials and drive them to approved recycling centres in the Gothenburg area. The stations we use most are:

Tagene recycling centre – located in northern Hisingen, perfect for jobs on Hisingen and in northern Gothenburg. Bulycke recycling centre – a large and well-equipped station in Torslanda, with capacity for most material types. Högsbo recycling centre – our main station for jobs in southern Gothenburg and the western districts. Sävenäs recycling centre – centrally located and ideal for jobs in eastern Gothenburg.

Items that can be reused are donated to organisations like Myrorna and Erikshjälpen, both of which have a strong presence in the Gothenburg area. This way, your junk removal contributes to a circular economy – items get a new life instead of ending up in landfill. You may also be entitled to a RUT tax deduction when items are transported for reuse.

If the items are transported to a charity shop or organisation for reuse, you may be eligible for the Swedish RUT tax deduction on the labour cost. Standard junk removal where everything goes to a recycling station does not qualify. The deduction is handled directly on the invoice.
