You should know how much an hour of clearing out costs if you want to tidy up your household. The prices can vary greatly
What does an hour of clearing out cost? All information
It’s impossible to say in general terms how much an hour of clearing out costs. After all, it depends on a few factors.
- Scope of the clear-out: The costs depend, among other things, on the size of the premises, the number of items to be disposed of and the degree of difficulty of the clear-out (e.g. narrow stairwells, hard-to-reach places).
- Type of items: The value of the items (antiques, high-quality furniture) also plays an important role and whether special materials (electronics, hazardous waste) need to be disposed of.
- Disposal options: Another decisive factor is whether there are recycling options or items can be donated.
- Labor costs: The price can vary greatly depending on the number of workers required and the duration of the clear-out.
- The price per person per hour of work is usually between 20 and 30 euros. However, these costs can vary depending on the company
Cost calculation and possible savings
There are a few things you should bear in mind to save as much money as possible.
- Compare cost estimates: Get quotes from different decluttering companies and pay attention to included services and possible additional costs.
- Consider clearing out your home yourself: Rent a dumpster or use disposal services. Also consider whether friends, girlfriends or family can help with the clear-out.
- Use tax advantages: Check which costs are tax deductible. Find out about possible subsidies or support from social services.
- Negotiate the prices: Be flexible with dates to get better prices. Negotiate flat rates or hourly wages.
