FAQ

Do I need to hire a moving company?
For a studio or small flat, a 'man with a van' (gazelle) via OLX is cheap. For larger moves or a piano, hire a firm (firma przeprowadzkowa).
How do I throw out an old sofa?
Bulky waste (odpady wielkogabarytowe) is collected by your commune on scheduled days or at a PSZOK point. Don't leave it by the bin — fines apply.
