Kramer Brocki & Secondhand

Most clearance companies talk about recycling responsibly. Verein Kramer, the nonprofit behind this site, can point to a number: more than CHF 150,000 paid out to local causes since it was founded in 2019, funded by the secondhand shops and clearance jobs described on this page. That is an unusual thing for a "Räumungsservice" page to lead a reader toward, and it changes how the rest of the site reads.

What it is

Kramer is a Verein, a registered nonprofit association, running two secondhand shops ("Brockenhäuser") in Lenzburg and Aarau plus a separate warehouse sale in Wildegg, staffed largely by volunteers according to its own about page. Alongside the retail side it runs a paid logistics arm covering household and house clearances, transport and moving, all organised under one "Dienstleistungen" menu. The clearance service sits under its own heading, "Räumungsservice," pitched specifically at Hausräumungen (house clearances) and Wohnungsauflösungen (full apartment dissolutions), which is the line of business this listing is built around; moving and transport are separate, named services on the same site rather than the same job under a different label.

What you get

The clearance side, described in detail on its Aargau service page, covers garden sheds, attics, storage rooms and business archives, paired with disposal and recycling for anything that cannot be reused and a cleaning pass once the property is empty. The site is specific about what happens to the belongings afterward: usable items are resold through the Lenzburg, Aarau and Wildegg shops, passed on to families in need, or given to care homes, and only what nobody can use gets recycled or thrown away. The published service list beyond the core clearance runs to house clearances, apartment clearances, cellar and storage clearances, partial clearances tied to a move, workshop clearances, taking in used goods or leftover stock, office clearances, business dissolutions and commercial-space clearances, household dissolutions, farmhouse clearances, liquidations, final cleaning, waste disposal, transport and hired labour.

The separate moving service covers packing, furniture disassembly, disposal of anything not worth bringing along, transport to the new home, unpacking and furniture reassembly, offered across the same Aargau footprint with cross-canton jobs available on request.

What stands out

The nonprofit structure is the real differentiator. Kramer's about page states the association was founded in 2019 and has since paid out more than CHF 150,000 in donations, naming recipients that range from Netzwerk Asyl Aargau and Pro Senectute's social-participation programme to youth culture events like the Lenzburg photo festival and a student orchestra, spanning environmental, social and cultural causes rather than a single pet project. A clearance job here is, structurally, also a small contribution to that list.

The testimonials reinforce the same local, checkable character: they are dated and location-tagged rather than anonymous, a notary and lawyer in Brugg in February 2026 calling the result "einwandfrei" (flawless), a Schöftland client in January 2026 praising a fair price and swift work, a Frick client in April 2024 noting a care-home's own maintenance staff asked for Kramer's contact details after watching the crew work. On the moving side, a family describes a June 2025 move from Niederlenz to Dottikon and being impressed by the team's flexibility, and a client moving within Lenzburg in May 2025 highlights that the job finished faster than planned. None of this is independently verifiable the way a Google review count would be, but naming a town and a month for each quote is more specific than the usual unattributed testimonial block.

How it's organised

The three physical locations keep different hours: Lenzburg (Sandweg 5) opens Tuesday to Saturday, closed Mondays; Aarau (Graben 34) opens Wednesday to Saturday; the Wildegg warehouse sale (Badweg 2) opens only Wednesday afternoons and Friday. Beyond the shops, the clearance and moving services are reachable through one phone line and email, with a stated coverage area running from Lenzburg and Aarau through Wohlen, Muri, Bremgarten, Baden, Brugg, Rheinfelden, Frick, Wettingen and Zofingen among others, and cross-canton jobs available on request.

What it costs

Kramer does not publish a price list, a minimum job charge, or a per-room rate for either the clearance or the moving service. Its own stated quality commitments include "professional service at fair prices" for clearances and, on the moving page specifically, transparent and detailed quotes with binding agreements that get honoured once made. Both service pages point to a free, non-binding quote by phone as the way to get an actual number, so this write-up states no price because none is published.

How it compares

Set against a purely commercial clearance operator, Kramer's pitch is that the proceeds from a job do more than cover the crew's wages: usable furniture goes back into circulation through the association's own shops or to a family or care home that needs it, and the profit from the whole operation funds a published, varied list of local causes. The tradeoff is geographic reach: Kramer's stated territory is the canton of Aargau, with jobs elsewhere only "auf Anfrage" (on request), rather than the multi-canton coverage some clearance competitors advertise directly.

Who it suits

This fits an Aargau household or small business that wants a clearance handled by a team that will actively try to resell or donate what it removes rather than skip it straight to disposal, and who is comfortable with a nonprofit association rather than a private company on the other end of the phone. It also suits someone who wants the moving and the clearance handled by the same organisation, since Kramer runs both as separate but adjacent services. It is a weaker fit for anyone outside the canton needing a fast answer, since out-of-canton work is handled case by case rather than advertised as standard coverage.

The verdict

Kramer earns its place by pairing an ordinary clearance and moving service with a genuinely unusual business model: a founding date, a specific donation total, and a named list of local recipients that a reader can check against public records if they choose to. The dated, town-tagged testimonials add a layer of specificity most one-page competitor sites don't bother with. What is missing is any published price, so a reader still has to call for a quote before knowing what a given job will cost, exactly as the site itself directs.
