How much does junk removal and house clearance cost in Brussels?
The honest answer is: it depends on volume and the type of property. But you should never be quoted a vague hourly rate. Here is what junk removal and house clearance actually cost in Brussels in 2026, with real ranges, worked examples and ways to keep the bill down.
Prices for house clearance in Brussels vary a lot, largely because some firms quote by the hour and leave the total open. We price by volume and property type and give one fixed number upfront, worked out from the photos you send. It is fairer, and it means the crew has no reason to work slowly. Here are the 2026 ranges you can expect across Belgium and Brussels.
2026 price ranges
- Single bulky item — from €75. One sofa, one mattress, one appliance, collected from any floor.
- Small clear-out — €250 to €600. A garage, attic, cellar or one to two rooms, including sorting and correct disposal.
- Studio or small flat — €250 to €900. A compact home cleared from top to bottom.
- Apartment or terraced house — €800 to €1,550. A normal family home, cellar to attic.
- Large family house — €1,500 to €2,500. More rooms, an attic and a cellar, a garage and a garden.
- Very large or long-neglected / hoarded home — €2,500 to €5,000+. High volume, often with a deep clean afterwards.
These are the same market ranges you will see quoted across Belgian clearance firms in 2026. A full house clearance or estate clearance, like a smaller job, is fixed from the photos or a short walkthrough video you send. Every price includes the crew, all the lifting, transport and correct disposal — see the summary on the pricing page.
What actually drives the cost
Five things decide where in the range you land. Volume is by far the biggest — every cubic metre is labour, transport and disposal, so a 10 m³ studio is three to five times cheaper than a 60 m³ family house. The state of the property matters: a tidy, lived-in home clears far faster than one with years of accumulation. Access adds cost — many firms charge €50 to €200 per floor without a lift, and a street with no parking slows the carry. The type of waste counts too, as general household waste runs about €120–€180 per tonne to process and hazardous materials far more. Finally, timing: weekends and urgent same-week clearances cost 20–40% more, while weekdays and the quiet winter months (November to February) are cheapest.
Two worked examples
A one-bedroom flat clearance in Saint-Gilles, third floor, no lift. A sofa, a bed, a wardrobe, a fridge, kitchen contents and boxes — a full small home. With the no-lift carry factored in, that typically lands around €850–€1,200 fixed, including WEEE recycling of the fridge and correct disposal of the rest.
A garage and cellar clear-out in Jette. Old furniture, tools, tins, timber and general junk, with the van at the door. As a small clear-out this sits around €300–€550 fixed, sorted for reuse and recycling as it is loaded.
How to pay less
- Book off-peak. A weekday in winter can be 20–40% cheaper than a weekend or an urgent same-week slot.
- Combine jobs. The flat and the cellar, or the garden and the garage, in one visit beats separate call-outs. See garden waste and garage clearance.
- Reduce the volume. Keep what you want, flatten boxes and group items by the door — less volume, lower price.
- Flag the good stuff. Reusable furniture can be routed to reuse, trimming the disposal share.
