Send photos of your load to WhatsApp — we'll give you an exact quote before the truck is dispatched, and it won't change.
Pick what you're removing, how much, when, with what, and whether you need movers. The total below is approximate — we'll confirm the exact one in chat, after photos.
We'll give you the exact price after photos of the load — people almost always underestimate the volume by eye.
Wardrobes, sofas, wall units — the stuff that won't fit in a regular bin by the entrance. We haul it with a GAZelle or ZIL if there's enough for a whole apartment.
Fridges, washing machines, stoves. Heavy, with refrigerant and glass — we handle them carefully and carry them out whole, without taking them apart on the landing.
Cast-iron bathtubs, toilets, sinks. Cast iron weighs 80–120 kg — for that we send a crew and a GAZelle with a reinforced side.
Chunks of wall, old tiles, bags of cement, drywall offcuts. From an apartment after renovation — a GAZelle; from a construction site — a dump truck.
Interior doors, wooden frames, double-glazed windows with frames. We pack the glass separately so no one gets cut in the yard.
Cut trunks, stumps, thick branches. A seasonal thing — in spring and autumn we get the most requests like this.
Bags and sacks that pile up after a move or clearing out a storage room. When it's twenty bags, not two — that's a bulky waste pickup, not a regular one.
Decommissioned equipment, pallets, leftover packaging, scrap metal from the shop floor. We work with businesses on request via WhatsApp.
The most common scenario: you cleared out a storage room or emptied a room — and now it all needs to go. Our movers come into the apartment, carry everything to the truck, and we take it away for disposal.
With loaders
When the renovation isn't just one room but a whole house or office. For a job that size we send a ZIL or KAMAZ and a crew that will carry everything to the truck themselves.
Construction waste
A yard, garage, summer kitchen — in the private sector, bulky waste usually fills a whole dump truck. We estimate from photos, and arrive with equipment and movers.
Private sector
If you don't want to haul it yourself — add a crew. Two or three guys will carry out a sofa, bathtub or wardrobe from any floor, elevator or not — doesn't matter.
Book a crew
When there's not much waste — don't pay for a full run. We estimate the cubic meters from photos, remove it with a GAZelle and charge only for the actual volume.
By GAZelle
A 27 or 32 m³ container is placed in the yard while you clean up the area or renovate. The price depends on how long it stays — ask on WhatsApp, we'll calculate it for your site.

Message us on WhatsAppOften bulky waste doesn't just need to be removed — first it has to be taken apart, carried out and swept up. We do that too.
From request to unloading at the landfill — five clear steps. You're only involved in the first one.
Request a quoteDescribe what needs to be hauled: a sofa, bathtub, tree trunks, or a pile after renovation. A photo of the pile speeds up the quote — the volume is visible in the shot.
We calculate cubic meters and decide what fits: a GAZelle, ZIL, or dump truck. We lock in the price right away and don't change it after loading.
We arrive at the agreed time, anywhere in the city — from 30 minutes. We work seven days a week, from nine in the morning to nine in the evening.
Movers carry bulky items out of apartments, basements, or garages. Heavy items — a bathtub, a wardrobe — we take apart if they won't fit otherwise.
We take it away for disposal and sweep the loading area. If trash piles up regularly, we set up a schedule.
We show what jobs look like before and after bulky waste removal.
TRASHOFF loaders and a driver come to your site. No outside contractors.
The calls usually go like this: “I've got a wardrobe, a sofa and a bunch of other stuff in the yard, how much will it cost?” They ask about the price, but what they really want is different — for it all to disappear by evening and for the neighbors to stop giving them looks. So the conversation almost never starts with money, but with the question “what exactly are we throwing out?” The answer determines the truck, the time, and how many people come.
Bulky waste is anything that won't fit in a regular container or a chute: sofas, wardrobes, fridges, bathtubs, doors, carpets, renovation leftovers. Dumping bulky waste in the yard is a whole other story: in many buildings people get scolded for it, and in some places fined. And people feel that, even if they've never read any rules.
Below is what I see every day from behind the wheel. How to estimate the volume so you don't have to order a second truck. Why the same sofa in an elevator and on the fifth floor with no elevator are two completely different jobs. Where everything goes after loading and what can't be loaded under any circumstances. This isn't a copywriter's instruction manual — it's working notes, with numbers you can see in the truck bed, not on paper.
The line is simple: if it fits in a container, it's not our load. If it doesn't, it's ours. But in practice, size isn't the only thing that matters. You could saw a sofa apart and carry it out in bags, and technically it becomes household waste. But who's going to do that? Usually nobody. So bulky waste isn't so much about dimensions as about the fact that a person can't throw it out themselves.
The container in the yard holds about a cubic meter. Anything bigger and heavier won't fit. An old TV can still go in, if it's not a plasma. A washing machine — no. Furniture boxes are flat, they can be squeezed in, but ten boxes will fill the whole spot. The neighbors won't be happy. At that point it's bulky waste removal, even if each item on its own isn't big.
The second thing is weight. A door will fit in a container, but it's heavy. Two people can carry it, one can't. On our jobs it's often like this: they order bulky waste removal, and we arrive to find bags of construction debris. A bag fits in a container, but weighs like a cast-iron radiator. That's why we always ask not just the volume, but what's inside.
The sofa is the champion. In a year we remove more of them than everything else combined. Then wardrobes. There are many, they're heavy, and they almost always get disassembled on site, because they won't fit through a doorway whole. Fridges are a separate story. You shouldn't lay them on their side during transport, but we do it anyway, because otherwise they won't fit. If a fridge is old, nobody needs it except the recycler.
A typical order often includes a set: a sofa, two armchairs, a coffee table, a rug and boxes. It's an apartment after a move or after a relative has passed away. We call these "bulky waste removal from an apartment." There's always an elevator or there isn't, and that changes all the timing math.
A fridge is tricky because it fits in a GAZelle's cargo area but not in a container. And also because it contains freon. We don't release it into the air; we hand it over for recycling along with the body. A double-glazed unit is also tricky. It's flat, you can lean it against a wall and forget about it. But if it's from demolition, there are frames, glazing beads, window sills, and all together that's bulky waste.
Another case is plumbing. A toilet, a sink, faucets. A toilet won't fit in a container, a sink will. We take everything together, because nobody will send a toilet on a separate trip. And yes, bulky waste removal from a bathroom is almost always one order, not three.
After renovation, what's left isn't furniture but building materials: drywall scraps, tiles, cement bags, old linoleum. By weight, it's heavier than furniture. Tiles and concrete are the heaviest. We always warn: if the volume is small but the weight is large, the truck can go overweight, and that's a separate conversation. That's why we ask about the floor and elevator.
Construction debris can't just be dumped on the site. It has to be carried out and loaded. Clients often say, "It's not much, I'll carry it out myself." Then it turns out to be twenty 50-kilo bags. Carrying it out is half the job. That's why we always ask who's doing the carrying: us or the client. That determines how many loaders we need.
And another thing: bulky waste isn't just about size. It's anything that won't fit in a container or a chute. Everything else is regular trash. But if you're not sure, better to ask. We'll look at a photo and tell you exactly. That's faster than redoing the order later.
The easiest way is not to count items but to estimate how much space they'll take in the truck. Because three chairs and three wardrobes are different volumes, and the question "how much will it cost" comes down to the truck. A GAZelle holds about eight cubes, a ZIL twice that, a dumpster up to thirty-two. That's the math we work with.
A client says, "It's not much, just a sofa and some small stuff." We show up — the sofa is three meters long, and the "small stuff" is a cubic meter and a half of old books and a rug. A GAZelle's bed is almost entirely taken up by the sofa if you don't disassemble it. Disassembled, you can fit three times as much.
Removing bulky waste from an apartment almost always starts with the same question: disassemble or carry it out as is. The answer determines both the number of trips and the time it takes.
Here's a rough guide: one wardrobe is about half a GAZelle if it's assembled and won't fit through the door. A sofa is almost the whole truck. A fridge is a third. A cast-iron bathtub is a quarter, but it weighs enough to need two loaders.
Weight is a separate story. Soft furniture is light but bulky. Construction debris is the opposite: small in area, heavy. Half a cube of broken tiles weighs more than a ton.
Look at three things: dimensions at the widest point, weight, and whether the item will fit through the doorway. If the sofa's corner is wider than the door, it either gets disassembled or goes out the window — and that's a different job.
Removing bulky waste after a renovation is calculated differently than furniture. What matters here isn't the number of items but how many bags and how heavy they are. Bags with mixed debris go at the bottom, lightweight insulation on top, otherwise the truck is overloaded.
Assembled furniture always means fewer trips than you'd think. A sliding-door wardrobe comes apart in twenty minutes and takes up a quarter of the truck, not half. But not everyone is willing to disassemble — some worry about damaging walls, others just don't want the hassle.
We don't insist. We just warn you in advance: if you don't disassemble, the volume will grow, and it's not about money but about the fact that the second truck will arrive later.
Here's what's better to disassemble or break down before loading:
Mistake number one is estimating from a photo of one corner of the room. Most often people underestimate when the waste is in two places: some in the yard, some in the apartment. They see the yard and think that's all.
Mistake number two is forgetting about what's already been carried out to the containers. That also gets moved, just a bit later and separately.
| Item | Share of the truck body | Weight, roughly |
|---|---|---|
| Three-seater sofa | almost all of it | 70–90 kg |
| Assembled wardrobe | half | 80–120 kg |
| Fridge | a third | 60–80 kg |
| Cast-iron bathtub | a quarter | 100–150 kg |
| Renovation bags | 5 to 15 bags | up to a tonne |
What really helps get an accurate estimate: photos from two or three angles and the approximate ceiling height. Also tell us if there's a freight lift. This isn't us being fussy — it's the difference between one run and two.
If you're not sure, send photos in the chat and we'll tell you whether one truck is enough. Not because we want to save your money, but because a second run costs more than an honest estimate upfront.
Another thing: the price for bulky waste removal depends not on the number of items but on how many trips it takes. One trip versus two is almost double, not "a little more."
And lastly. If rubbish has been piling up on a balcony for years, no one can guess its volume from a photo. Here it's more honest to say 'come and take a look' — and that's fine, people do it all the time.
A fifth floor with no lift and the same sofa on the ground floor are two different jobs. Not because we like hiking up the price, but because of physics. A 90 kg sofa is carried down the stairs by four people in four stages, while two people can shove it into a lift in ten minutes. The difference in effort is threefold. So the first thing we ask on the phone is: which floor, is there a lift. And if there is one — will what you're throwing out even fit inside.
A freight lift in Almaty is a rarity. In most Soviet-era buildings the cabin is 80 by 110 centimetres, and a standard three-door wardrobe won't fit through diagonally. We figure this out before we set off so we don't send a truck for nothing. Sometimes it's easier to carry it down the stairs than to take it apart.
If there's no lift, the rule is: the heavier and bulkier the item, the more people and time it takes. A fridge to the fifth floor with no lift means two movers, straps and about forty minutes. A sofa means three people and an hour. A piano is a whole different story — we rarely take those jobs and we warn you upfront: it's slow and expensive. Bulky waste removal from flats on upper floors with no lift is the most common reason an order gets pushed to the morning: by evening people are worn out, and we can't wait until night.
With a lift it's a different story. Even if the cabin is small, we bring the item up to the floor, take it apart on the spot if needed, and carry it down in pieces. Faster than on foot. But there's a catch: you can't load a lift with more than it's rated for. We check the plate inside the cabin, and if the weight is critical, we carry it down the stairs. Safety beats speed.
Wardrobes, wall units and kitchen cabinets almost always get taken apart. It's easier and faster: we remove the doors, pull out the shelves, and carry the frame out flat. Sofas are hit or miss. If the doorways are narrow, we take off the legs and sometimes saw through the frame. Fridges and washing machines we carry out whole — they're rigid and don't come apart. Rugs we roll up and tie — easier to carry and they don't snag on the railings.
Some things can't or shouldn't be taken apart: bathtubs, toilets, sinks. We carry them as they are, after draining the water. If it's a cast-iron bathtub, that's 120 kg or more — you need four people and strong straps. We warn you in advance if we can see from the photos that the item is heavy.
The trickiest part isn't the floor — it's the doorways. A standard apartment door is 80 centimeters, but with the frame and threshold it shrinks to 70. A 90-centimeter-wide sofa won't fit through without removing the legs or turning it sideways. We always ask for a photo of the door and the stairwell turn. It's not paranoia — it's how we avoid wasting your time on a dry run.
Entrance turns are a whole other headache. Sometimes there's a narrow 90-degree opening from the stairwell into the hallway, and a long item just can't make the turn. Then we take it out through a window or balcony — if the floor isn't too high and there's something to secure it with. We handle these cases on the spot, but it's better to know about them in advance.
The entrance is a shared responsibility. We try not to bang up walls or rip off railings, but when something's heavy and the stairs are narrow, things happen. So we usually ask you to clear the path and warn the neighbors if the work will be noisy. If we do bump something, we'll tell you right away — no hiding it. But most of the time, the entrance suffers not from us, but from whoever dragged the item before us and already scratched the corner.
Sometimes the concierge or the building manager won't let the truck into the yard. Then we park outside the gate and carry everything by hand — that adds time and sometimes a surcharge, because the distance grows. We always ask about barriers and access rules before we head out, so we don't end up staring at a locked gate.
Once we got an order to remove bulky waste from a fourth-floor apartment with no elevator. A sofa, a wardrobe and a fridge. Three of us came, thought we'd be done in an hour. But the staircase was spiral, and the sofa wouldn't make the turn. We had to take off the railing and carry it out through the balcony. Good thing the second floor was a utility level, we had a safety line. In the end it took three hours instead of one. Now I always ask about stairs and turns, even if the client says it's easy.
One more thing: removing bulky waste from an apartment often goes hand in hand with a cleanout. People haul everything out at once: old furniture, appliances, junk from the mezzanines. That makes sense, because one truck is cheaper than two trips. But then the volume grows, and it might not fit in a GAZelle. So it's better to estimate upfront how much stuff there is.
Here's what we usually ask over the phone to get a picture of what we're dealing with. It's not an interrogation — it's how we pick the right truck and crew.
The more precise your answers, the fewer surprises on site. And the more realistic the price we can quote right away, not after an inspection. Bulky waste removal is a job where details decide everything: floor, elevator, turns, weight. We don't charge extra for what we saw coming, but if a detail pops up on site, we'll have to recalculate. So tell us everything upfront, even if it seems like a small thing.
People call in the morning: "The sofa's already by the entrance, come get it." But the yard has a narrow driveway, a playground two meters away, and grandmas on a bench. Bulky waste removal is always a compromise between "I want it fast" and "where do we park."
The management company usually doesn't mind if the stuff is hauled away the same day. But leaving it overnight by the bins is a bad idea. In the morning the janitor is cursing, neighbors are blowing up the chat, and someone's already snapped a photo and sent it to the akimat. Then a fine lands on the whole building — and that's before we've even shown up.
A fridge, a wardrobe, a rug — all of it attracts homeless people, dogs and kids. In the morning you walk out to scattered trash and a fresh neighbor scandal. Plus the janitor isn't required to clean it up: according to landscaping rules, bulky waste isn't household waste. Plan bulky waste removal from an apartment like this: carry it out — and call right away.
We dispatch a truck anywhere in the city from 30 minutes. If the items are by the entrance, the loaders take them first. But if you leave them overnight, in the morning it might not be our GAZelle that shows up, but the local police officer.
Yards in Almaty are an art form of their own. Somewhere the driveway is three meters wide, somewhere there's a barrier, somewhere cars are parked two rows deep. We ask ahead of time: "What's the address, is there a barrier, how many meters from the entrance to the loading spot?" If the GAZelle can't get through, we suggest a ZIL — it's shorter but taller. Sometimes the only way is to carry everything out to the road by hand.
What we clear: if there's a carpet or an old dresser in the way, the movers will move it aside. If the truck needs to park on the lawn or the playground, we'll ask you first, then the neighbors. We don't want conflicts in the yard, but we can't block the driveway either: cut off the exit and it's war.
After loading, we sweep the spot. Always. Even if it's asphalt by the entrance or dirt by the bins. Shards, dust, small debris — it all goes in the truck. Bulky waste removal isn't just about "taking it away" — it's about "leaving no trace." Neighbors appreciate that.
If you ordered bulky waste removal and there's still a pile left after us — call, we'll come back and clean it up. It happens if stuff gets scattered after loading. But we always warn you: while the truck hasn't left yet, it's best to check that everything's been taken.
Smell, rats, complaints from neighbors. The management company can call the police, and they'll write up a report. Then comes a fine split among all the owners. Unpleasant, but a fact: dumping bulky waste in the yard is regulated by landscaping rules, and they fine you for it.
In Almaty there are districts where janitors take photos and send them to the akimat. You get a notice — and then it doesn't matter who exactly put the sofa out. Everyone pays. To avoid that, don't wait — just message us right away: we'll pick it up and haul it away.
Our hours are 9 a.m. to 9 p.m., seven days a week. Dispatch from 30 minutes; remote districts take longer.
| Situation | Action | Consequences if you don't |
|---|---|---|
| Stuff by the entrance during the day | Call right away, movers will pick it up the same day | Neighbors may call the police |
| Left it overnight | In the morning the whole building could get fined | Fine from the akimat on all owners |
| Narrow yard, no way in | We carry it out to the road by hand | The truck can't get in, the order falls through |
| Trash sits for weeks | Order removal before the inspection shows up | Unsanitary conditions, complaints, a report |
Once the stuff is already outside, the hardest part is agreeing with the neighbors. We try not to make noise, not to smoke on the landing, and not to block the entrance. If needed, we'll wait while you give the grandmas by the entrance a heads-up.
Here's what we do in the yard — short list, but we can't skip any of it:
One more thing: if the trash is on a playground or lawn, we can't load it without permission from the management company. We have to wait or carry things to the road. Better to tell us right away where exactly the pile is.
And lastly: don't book a large-item pickup from your apartment for the evening if the yard is dark. We work until nine at night, but neighbors might not appreciate the noise. Morning is better — you're calmer, and we can see where to park.
Read this far and still not sure about the volume? Send us a photo — we'll calculate and give you a price.
Message us on WhatsAppSo we've arrived, loaded up. Seems like that's it. But the customer often stands there watching us drive off — like, where are you taking this? You can understand it: nobody wants the couch their grandpa slept on to end up in the next yard over. Let me walk you through it step by step, no company names or landfill names — just how it actually works.
The first thing that happens is the truck doesn't go straight to the dump. Along the way, part of the load gets sorted out. Metal separately, wood separately, anything that can be recycled gets recycled. It's not charity, it's economics: they pay for a ton of metal, they charge for a ton of mixed waste. The difference is noticeable, so we're just as interested in this as you are. Bulky waste removal in Almaty works so that sorting starts right in the truck bed.
Next — disassembly. A wardrobe gets taken apart into panels, a couch into frame and upholstery, a fridge into metal and plastic. That happens at the site, not in your yard. You don't have to take anything apart yourself, unless you want to save on volume — but more on that below.
Metal first. Bathtubs, radiators, bed frames, old washing machines. Anything that sticks to a magnet. You can get at least some money for metal, so it's not mixed with the rest. Next — bulky wood waste: wardrobes, doors, shelves. Those can also be reused, but not everything gets taken.
What gets picked up separately, from experience:
Obviously, in reality it's all mixed together. That's why sorting matters: separate what can be sold from what's landfill-only. The cleaner the sorting, the less volume goes to burial.
A fridge is a whole different story. Inside there's freon, a compressor, oil. You can't just toss it in the common truck bed: releasing freon into the atmosphere is prohibited, and the compressor weighs a fair bit. So fridges go to a separate site where the gas is removed first, then they're broken down into metal and plastic. If you've ordered bulky waste removal from your apartment and there's a fridge, let us know in advance so the truck comes with the right equipment.
Tires are the second tricky item. Rubber doesn't rot, doesn't decompose, and burns so fiercely that putting it out is pointless. Regular landfills won't take them. Only a special site where they're either recycled into crumb or used for fill. That's why tires are counted separately and cost more than regular bulky waste of the same volume.
Glass — mirrors, double-glazed windows, glass doors. Hazardous cargo, cuts in an instant. We haul it in rigid containers or between mattresses so it doesn't break on the way. If the glass is already broken, we'll still take it, but let us know so the loaders put on protective gloves.
A landfill is where trash gets buried. Recycling is when trash becomes something else. The difference for you is the price and how long the truck spends on site. At a landfill, you dump and leave. At a recycling facility, there's a queue, weighing, paperwork. So if an order has a lot of metal or wood, we try to take it where they'll actually pay for it rather than charge you.
Where exactly the truck goes depends on what's in the bed. Mixed loads almost always go to the landfill. Sorted loads — part goes to recycling. Honestly, perfect sorting doesn't always happen: time is tight and the client is waiting. But we almost always pull out metal and large wood.
There are things that neither a landfill nor a recycling facility will take. It's not our whim, it's the acceptance rules. If something like that turns up in the bed, the truck gets turned away at the gate and we have to haul it back. So we ask in advance.
Not accepted:
Lamps, batteries, accumulators and old household chemicals we take as a separate request: apart from other trash, to a specialized company.
One more thing: the price for hauling bulky junk depends not only on volume, but also on whether it contains items like these. A regular sofa and a sofa with a mercury lamp inside are two different jobs. Better to tell us right away so you don't overpay for a return trip.
And lastly. Bulky waste removal isn't just 'haul it away and dump it.' It's a chain: load, haul, dismantle, sort, return what can be reused, and the rest goes to the landfill. Surprises can happen at every step. But if you warn us in advance about a fridge, tires, or glass, there won't be any problems.
Ask any driver: what costs more — hauling a piano or ten boxes? The piano. Even though the boxes take up more space. Because a piano weighs as much as three sofas, and you still have to pry it off the floor. That's why the price for bulky waste removal is always about weight and floor, not cubic meters first and foremost.
A GAZelle holds up to a ton and a half. If you've piled old particleboard wardrobes in it, it'll be packed to the limit — and that's only half the trouble. The trouble starts when a cast-iron bathtub goes on top. It alone weighs more than the rest of the load. I price an order like that separately, because the truck will have to be unloaded by hand, not dumped at the landfill with a tipper.
Volume in cubes is a tricky thing. A corner sofa takes up two cubes but weighs a hundred kilos. And ten construction bags of broken tile — just half a cube, but half a ton inside. Dense loads (tile, concrete, brick) are always pricier than bulky ones, because it comes down to payload, not the truck bed. If you don't mention this on the phone, a small truck will show up, and you'll have to send it twice.
Here's where the biggest confusion lies. The client says: "third floor, there's an elevator." But is it a freight or a passenger elevator? A sofa won't fit in a passenger one, no matter how you try. So we end up carrying it up the stairs, and that's a whole different job. On the fifth floor with no elevator, one sofa means two people and half an hour just to get it down.
We also factor in the carry distance. If the truck can park right in the yard under the windows, that's one thing. If the entrance is deep inside the block and a barrier won't let us in, that's another. Every extra ten meters with a fridge on your shoulders costs time and energy. I always ask: where will the truck park, is there an underground garage, are the ceilings low? Sometimes it's easier to carry everything through the yard than to wreck your back in the garage.
It seems like: what's the difference — one truck coming twice or one big truck coming once? The difference is in fuel, time, and the fact that the second trip costs as much as a separate call. I don't charge for thin air, but I can't work for free either. So if the volume is borderline — between a GAZelle and a ZIL — I recommend going straight for the ZIL. It looks pricier at first, but in reality it's cheaper than running a GAZelle back and forth.
There's also a nuance with loading. When the trash is piled up in the yard, it gets loaded fast. When it's scattered around the apartment on different floors, time stretches out. And that's not about cubic meters, it's about organization. Removing bulky trash from an apartment often takes longer than the same volume from a yard, simply because we're walking bags down corridors.
| Factor | How much it adds | What to clarify when booking |
|---|---|---|
| Weight of the load | A lot: heavy loads need a different truck or a second trip | Are there tiles, concrete, cast-iron items |
| Floor and elevator | Medium: without a freight elevator, time goes up by one and a half to two times | Which elevator, what floor is the apartment on |
| Carry distance | Slightly, but over a long distance it adds up | Where the truck will park, is there a barrier |
| Number of trips | Two trips are almost always more expensive than one big one | Approximate volume in cubic meters or by photo |
| Season and day of the week | Slightly, but during peak times you wait longer and there are fewer trucks available | How urgent it is, is there any time buffer |
The May holidays are no rest for us. After them comes a wave: people open up balconies, replace windows, haul out old furniture. From late April to June is the hottest period. At that time, finding a free truck is harder, especially if you call on Friday evening. Same at the end of the month: many get paid and start rearranging.
On days like that, I advise not to put off booking. If you're planning bulky waste removal for the weekend, better to give a couple of days' notice. And another thing: on Saturday evening, yards are packed with cars, so getting to the entrance is harder. That also affects time, and therefore the final price, even if not directly.
And there's a season when there's almost no work — January and February. That's when you can negotiate and pick a convenient time. But if you need to remove bulky waste urgently, at the height of the season, be ready to wait longer for dispatch than in winter. It's not greed, it's physics: one truck can't be in two places at once.
And lastly. I always quote the price before loading. Once the trash is in the truck, the sum doesn't change — even if it turned out heavier than we thought. But to avoid overpaying, it's best to be honest about cast iron, tiles, and the floor. Bulky waste removal isn't a lottery, it's a calculation: the more accurate the input, the fewer surprises at the end.
To put it simply: bulky waste is anything that won't fit in a container or go down the chute. Sofas, wardrobes, fridges, bathtubs, doors, carpets, renovation leftovers. Dumping bulky waste in the yard is a whole separate headache, and not just for you: neighbors are watching, and sometimes they write complaints. So it's easier to haul it away right away than to explain later.
The line is simple — by size. A bag of bottles, a shoe box, old books — that's regular trash, the city truck takes it. Anything longer than a meter or heavier than twenty kilograms is already bulky. A fridge, a washing machine, a sofa, a sliding wardrobe, a bathtub, interior doors, rolls of linoleum, bags of construction debris. A rolled-up carpet counts too, even though it doesn't weigh much. Formally, this is bulky waste removal, and it needs a separate truck with loaders.
Sometimes people think something is junk when we could still use it. A solid wood wardrobe, a cast-iron bathtub, a Soviet-era sideboard — we sometimes take those for free if they're in good shape. But that's decided on site; you can't tell from a photo in advance. So just write it as it is in the request, and we'll figure it out.
We calculate volume by the truck bed, not by the number of items. A 1.5 t GAZelle takes 12 m³ — that's a standard one-bedroom after renovation or two or three large items with a bunch of small stuff. If there's more than fits in a GAZelle, we send a ZIL or a dumpster. Removing bulky waste from an apartment almost always hits the volume limit, not the weight: a sofa takes up a lot of space but weighs little, while bags of tiles are the opposite.
The dispatcher will ask for the address, floor, whether there's an elevator, and what exactly you're throwing out. This isn't bureaucracy, it's a way to avoid sending a small truck for a big pile. The price for bulky junk removal depends directly on these answers. We'll also ask where we can pull up — into the yard, to the entrance, or only to the barrier. And whether you need loaders: sometimes the client is ready to carry things themselves, then we work faster and cheaper.
If there's an elevator but it's small, the sofa will still have to be taken apart. Better to mention that right away — we'll bring tools. Sometimes a person is sure: 'there's an elevator, everything will fit.' On site it turns out only a cat fits. So it's better to double-check.
Don't dump bulky items in the yard on the lawn or by the bins. First, it's a violation, and in Almaty you get fined for it. Second, neighbors will photograph it and send it where it needs to go. Third, janitors aren't obligated to clean it up, and the pile can sit there for weeks. Bulky waste removal in Almaty is a service that solves the problem in one trip, without the hassle and explanations with the KSK.
Nighttime isn't the best idea either: noise, headlights, swearing. We work from nine in the morning to nine at night, any day. If you need bulky waste removed urgently, just say so — we'll find the nearest slot. But usually it's calmer to schedule for the morning: the yard is empty and the movers are fresh. After loading, we sweep the area — that's part of the job, no extra charge.
Yes, we'll carry it out. Bulky junk removal from an apartment isn't just a truck at the entrance, but also the hands that get the sofa to the truck bed. Stairs, narrow doorways, turning on the landing — all doable, but if the item doesn't fit through, we'll saw it apart on site. Tell us about the floor and elevator in advance so the right-sized crew shows up.
Photos are the most reliable way. A simple guide: a sofa is about two cubic meters, a wall unit three or four, and an old fridge plus a washing machine add another cubic meter. The volume (which people almost always underestimate when eyeballing it) determines which truck we send. Send us pictures — we'll tell you if it all fits in one trip or if you need a second.
It depends on what you're throwing out. A GAZelle holds up to one and a half tons — a sofa, a couple of mattresses, boxes fit fine. If it's an apartment gutted after renovation or knocked-down partitions, you need a ZIL dump truck, or even a container. A GAZelle trip starts at 30 000 ₸, a ZIL at 40 000 ₸. Don't guess: describe your load and we'll pick the right truck without overpaying for extra space.
Construction mixes, tires and anything considered hazardous we don't put in the truck with furniture. Batteries, lamps and household chemicals we take as a separate request: apart from other trash, to a specialized company. Bulky waste like furniture, appliances, plumbing, doors and windows — that's exactly our thing. If you're unsure about a specific item, ask in chat before the truck arrives. Better to clarify in advance than to unload on site.
We take it for disposal — to a site where bulky waste is sorted and recycled piece by piece: wood separately, metal separately. It won't end up in a dump in your yard. After loading, we sweep the area so the entrance doesn't look like a spontaneous bulky waste dump. Need disposal paperwork? Ask on WhatsApp before ordering, and we'll answer for your specific case.
It'll be taken away, but probably not by you. Bulky waste near a yard bin is a complaint against whoever left it, and they'll go after the apartment owner or the management company. Almaty issues fines, and they're not cheap. It's easier to call a truck right away: we'll pick it up from your door, carry it out and haul it away, and your yard stays clean.
So a second trip it is — but you're better off knowing that before loading, not halfway through. That's why we size up the load from photos in advance and tell you straight: it'll fit or it won't. The extra charge is per trip, not for "squeezing it in" — the price of the second trip gets discussed upfront. A second trip is never half the first, and here's why: just sending the truck costs money whether it's full or not.
Yes, sometimes you just need stuff carried out and stacked by the entrance, and you'll handle the hauling yourself. A crew with a GAZelle runs 20 000 ₸, one loader per hour is 6 000 ₸. Tell us how many floors and whether there's an elevator — that decides how many people show up. If there's a lot of stuff, it's cheaper to book a truck with a crew right away than to pay twice for the same hands.
Yes, we're open Mon–Sun, nine in the morning to nine at night. Saturday and Sunday are no different from weekdays: same truck, same price. If you need earlier or later, just ask — we'll discuss it separately, but I won't make promises. Plenty of people clear out their apartments on weekends, so slots go fast.
The earlier the better, but we usually manage same-day. In Almaly district it's fastest — sometimes the truck's at your entrance in forty minutes. For outlying areas and beyond the city, add time for the drive and mileage. Book via WhatsApp or phone — there's no order form on the site.
Got a question that's not here? Ask — we'll answer in writing, no call needed.
