How much does junk removal cost?
We provide an individual quote tailored to the specific quantity, location and loading conditions, based on a free on-site survey or photos. Details: what the junk removal price depends on.
Who should you call for junk removal: MOHU or a junk removal company?
In Budapest there are two options. The door-to-door bulky waste collection by MOHU (formerly FKF) is free, but it runs once a year, on a pre-announced date for each district, the items must be put out by the gate, and not every kind of waste is taken. A junk removal company such as Herkules-Trans is a paid service: we come when you need us, typically within 2–4 days, we bring the items down from the cellar, attic or flat, and the price includes removal, the trip to the waste centre and the disposal fee. Items placed on the street are the responsibility of the public space maintainer, i.e. MOHU; we do not collect those. If you cannot wait for the next free date, or the quantity, appliances or a safe exceed what MOHU takes, we give you an individual quote tailored to the actual quantity, location and loading conditions.
What do we take away, and what not?
We take: furniture, mattresses, carpets, household appliances, textiles, books, crockery, garden furniture, boxed mixed junk and office waste.
We do not take: hazardous waste, i.e. paint, thinner, chemicals, batteries and gas cylinders. We do not transport construction debris or rubble. Hazardous waste can be dropped off at MOHU waste yards.
Do we also offer junk removal in the countryside?
Yes. Our main area is Budapest and Pest County, but we also go out to the countryside beyond Pest County, by arrangement.
Do you also clear out cellars, attics, storage rooms or garages?
Yes. We clear out cellars, attics, storage rooms, garages, entire flats or just a single room. We carry the junk out ourselves, including from upper floors and buildings without a lift. We also clear cellars and storage rooms belonging to inherited flats that have been full for years. If you also need to move after the clear-out, see our moving in Budapest page as well.
If you need to clear an entire property or an estate, see our apartment clearance and estate clearance page as well.

Missed the annual MOHU (formerly FKF) bulk waste collection?
In Budapest, the free door-to-door bulky waste collection takes place once a year, on a date announced in advance for each district, and not everything is taken away. If you cannot wait for the next date, are about to move, renovate or sell your flat, or want to get rid of furniture, household junk and scrap in one go, we typically come out within 2–4 days come out and carry the junk down from the cellar, the attic or the flat and take it to an official waste processing centre.
After a free on-site survey or a quote based on photos, you get an exact price. We have collected the 2026 MOHU dates by district in our Junk collection Budapest 2026 article.
Which season is best for junk removal?
Any season: we work all year round, and rain or snow does not stop the job. If you are tied to a fixed deadline, for example before selling or handing over a flat or before a renovation starts, it is worth booking a few days earlier. The annual free MOHU bulky-waste collection covers a single day per district; if that date does not suit you, or you cannot carry the junk out to the street, we typically come within 2–4 days.

Frequently asked questions about junk removal
How much does junk removal for an average flat cost?
We give an individual quote tailored to the actual quantity, the location and the loading conditions, based on a free on-site survey or photos. The price is made up of the labour, the trip to the waste centre, unloading and a quantity-based disposal fee; we have no hourly price list for junk removal.
Details: junk removal prices.
What counts as junk that you remove?
Furniture, mattresses, carpets, household appliances, textiles, books, crockery, garden furniture, boxed mixed junk and office scrap: anything that is neither household rubbish nor hazardous waste. We do not transport paint, thinner, chemicals, batteries or gas cylinders, nor construction debris and rubble; these can be handed in at MOHU waste yards.
Do I need to be at home during the junk removal?
Yes. During the junk removal, you or a representative need to be present to indicate on site what goes and what stays, and to take over the cleared rooms at the end.
How quickly can you come out after a request?
Usually within 2–4 days, at a time agreed with you. If your deadline is tied to a flat handover, a move or the start of a renovation, let us know when requesting the quote and we do our best to fit in with it.
Do you sort the junk selectively or take it all together?
On request. We take the junk to an official waste-processing centre. We are also happy to take still-usable furniture and clothing to a charity (for example the Hungarian Maltese Charity Service or the Red Cross) if you have arranged the handover with them in advance.
Do you also offer junk removal in the countryside, not just in Budapest?
Yes, besides Budapest and Pest County we also go out to the countryside. Let us know the address in advance and we will agree on a date.
Do you take junk away for free?
Our junk removal is a paid service, but the on-site survey and the quote are free. In Budapest, free bulky-waste collection is the once-a-year MOHU (formerly FKF) collection announced per district, where you have to put the items out on the street on the given day. We have collected the 2026 dates in our Junk collection Budapest 2026 article.
What details should I provide for a quote?
A few photos of the junk and the room, the address, the floor and whether there is a lift, where the truck can park, the estimated amount of junk and your preferred date. Based on these we send a written, individual quote or arrange a free on-site survey.
How long is a junk removal quote valid?
Our quote is valid for 30 days.
Do I have to dismantle or pack the furniture before the junk removal?
You do not need to pack anything: we take the junk loose, in boxes or in bags. We carry furniture out assembled; if it will not fit through the door or the stairwell, mention when requesting a quote that dismantling is needed, and we arrange it in advance.
Do you also take dirty, old furniture?
Yes. Dusty, worn furniture from cellars and attics is a natural part of junk removal, and we take it away. We do not take items in an infectious or hazardous condition. If the items are heavily soiled, mouldy or damaged by animals, please let us know in advance so that we can tell you before the quote whether we can take them.
Do you also take junk that has already been put out on the street?
We remove junk from the property: we carry it out of cellars, attics and flats ourselves. Removing junk placed on public land is the task of the public waste service, MOHU in Budapest, and junk put out outside the announced collection day counts as littering. Please do not put it out in advance; wait for our team.
What happens to valuable items and antiques?
We do not appraise or buy items. If there is furniture, a painting or an antique among the junk that looks valuable, it is worth offering it to an antiques dealer or selling it before the clear-out; we take away the rest. We are also happy to take still-usable furniture and clothing to a charity if you have arranged the handover with them in advance.
Do you also take away just one or two pieces of furniture?
Yes. We also remove a single wardrobe, bed or household appliance, likewise with an individual quote, and we take the junk to an official waste-processing centre in this case too. If you want the furniture delivered to another address rather than disposed of, our cargo taxi service covers that.
