Clearing Out a Student Room in Leuven<\/h1>\n\t\t\t\t\t

We clear out dorm rooms, student rooms, and entire student houses in Leuven between tenants: any furniture, mattresses, boxes, and anything else left in the basement or the shared kitchen. We give usable items a second life, and we properly dispose of the rest. You\u2019ll receive a fixed price upfront.<\/p>\n\t\t

\n \t\t\tEvery Wednesday in Leuven<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\tEven multiple rooms in a single day<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\tRegistered Waste Hauler (OVAM)<\/span>\n\t\t\n<\/div>\n

Leuven Day<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t

Every Wednesday in Leuven<\/h2>\n\t\t\t\t\t

On Wednesdays, we schedule all our jobs in Leuven and the surrounding area back-to-back. This keeps our prices competitive, even if you need several student rooms cleared out.<\/p>\n\t\t\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n \t\t\t

No travel expenses<\/h3>\n\t\t\t\t\t

On Wednesdays, you simply pay our standard rates in Leuven and the surrounding area. There are no additional charges for the ride.<\/p>\n\t\t\n<\/div>\n

\n \t\t\t

Book by Monday at the latest<\/h3>\n\t\t\t\t\t

Then we can plan Wednesday well. Usually, photos are enough to determine the price. If we do need to come take a look, we'll do that on Wednesday as well.<\/p>\n\t\t\n<\/div>\n

\n \t\t\t

Would you prefer a different day?<\/h3>\n\t\t\t\t\t

That's possible. In that case, we charge a flat call-out fee of \u20ac150 per trip (excl. VAT). Rush service within 48 hours is also available, with a 30% surcharge.<\/p>\n\t\t\n<\/div>\n\n<\/div>\n\n<\/div>\n

Abandoned furniture and mattresses<\/h3>\n\t\t\t\t\t

A mattress, a desk, a closet, or a few boxes: we\u2019ll take whatever the previous tenant left behind, even the large items.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\tRequest a quote \u2192\n\t<\/a><\/span>\n\t\t\n<\/div>\n

Student Rooms in Leuven: What We Keep in Mind<\/h2>\n\t\t\t\t\t

Many rooms are located upstairs in old houses on narrow streets. We take this into account when determining the price you receive in advance.<\/p>\n\t\t\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n \t\t\t

Narrow staircases<\/h3>\n\t\t\t\t\t

Whenever possible, we use a ladder lift (up to \u20ac150 per hour). If that\u2019s not possible, we\u2019ll carry everything up the stairs: an additional \u20ac20 per floor.<\/p>\n\t\t\n<\/div>\n

\n \t\t\t

Parking right outside the door<\/h3>\n\t\t\t\t\t

Our truck needs to be parked close to the door. If it\u2019s more than 10 meters away, there will be an additional charge of \u20ac115. If a temporary parking ban is required, please request it from the city or municipality. We\u2019ll let you know how much space we need.<\/p>\n\t\t\n<\/div>\n

\n \t\t\t

Where we work on Wednesdays<\/h3>\n\t\t\t\t\t

Leuven, including Heverlee, Kessel-Lo, Wilsele, and Wijgmaal, as well as the municipalities surrounding Leuven: Herent, Kortenberg, Bertem, Oud-Heverlee, Bierbeek, Lubbeek, Holsbeek, and Rotselaar. Do you live a little farther away? Feel free to ask.<\/p>\n\t\t\n<\/div>\n\n<\/div>\n\n<\/div>\n

Frequently Asked Questions<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t

Questions about clearing out student rooms in Leuven<\/h2>\n\t\t\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n \t\t\t

How much does it cost to clear out a student room in Leuven?<\/h3>\n\t\t\t\t\t

That depends on how much is left. Send photos of each room, and you\u2019ll receive a fixed price upfront. As a rough estimate: a studio starts at \u20ac300, and part of a household\u2019s contents (about half a truckload) starts at \u20ac480, excluding VAT. On Wednesdays, there\u2019s no additional travel fee.<\/p>\n\t\t\n<\/div>\n

\n \t\t\t

Can you clear out multiple rooms on the same day?<\/h3>\n\t\t\t\t\t

Yes. On Wednesdays, we schedule all our jobs in Leuven and the surrounding area back-to-back, so that includes several student rooms. Let us know in advance how many rooms there are and where they are located.<\/p>\n\t\t\n<\/div>\n

\n \t\t\t

A student left some belongings behind. Can I throw them away?<\/h3>\n\t\t\t\t\t

It\u2019s not that simple. In principle, whatever a student leaves behind remains the student\u2019s property. We\u2019ll only take it with us once you confirm that it\u2019s okay to do so. You can read about the best way to handle this in our article for landlords<\/a>.<\/p>\n\t\t\n<\/div>\n

\n \t\t\t

Do I need to be there?<\/h3>\n\t\t\t\t\t

No. We use a key or a code, and return the key afterward as agreed.<\/p>\n\t\t\n<\/div>\n

\n \t\t\t

Why on Wednesday?<\/h3>\n\t\t\t\t\t

On Wednesdays, we schedule all our jobs in Leuven and the surrounding area back-to-back. That way, you won\u2019t have to pay any travel fees on that day.<\/p>\n\t\t\n<\/div>\n

\n \t\t\t

Would another day work?<\/h3>\n\t\t\t\t\t

Yes. In that case, we charge a flat travel fee of \u20ac150 per trip, excluding VAT. For rush orders within 48 hours, there is a 30% surcharge.<\/p>\n\t\t\n<\/div>\n

\n \t\t\t

As a student, can I also have my room cleared out?<\/h3>\n\t\t\t\t\t

Yes. The same prices and the same Wednesday apply to you as well. Would you like to drop off as much as possible yourself first? Our checklist for your last week in your student room<\/a> explains how that works in Leuven.<\/p>\n\t\t\n<\/div>\n

\n \t\t\t

What happens to the items?<\/h3>\n\t\t\t\t\t

We donate usable furniture and household goods to thrift stores or social organizations. We sort the rest and send it to certified processing facilities. We are a registered waste hauler with OVAM (No. 178887).<\/p>\n\t\t\n<\/div>\n\n<\/div>\n\n<\/div>\n\t\t\t
