Apartment Clearance in Co. Longford
Purpose-built apartments come with their own rules — lifts to book, bin stores you can’t use for furniture, management companies to keep onside. We clear apartments across Longford without the drama.

An apartment clearance is a logistics job as much as a lifting one. The furniture is the same as a house — a sofa, a bed, a wardrobe, a table — but it has to come down a stairwell or through a lift that may need to be booked and protected, out through a lobby with a door code, past a bin store that explicitly bans bulky items, and onto a truck that is allowed to stop for twenty minutes at most. Get any of that wrong and the management company is on the phone.
We do this every week. ManageWaste.ie is operated by Krystal Klean Express Limited, permit NWCPO-25-13287-01, with public liability insurance that management agents will ask to see — we send it before we arrive. Longford is about an hour and three-quarters from our yard in Athy — Ballymahon and Edgeworthstown a little less, Granard, Drumlish and the north of the county a little more. We cover it by combining Longford jobs with Westmeath work on the same day, so ask for a date and we’ll fit you into the next run.

Full apartment clearance in Longford
Everything out: furniture, beds and mattresses, white goods if the apartment isn’t being let furnished, the contents of the kitchen presses and the hot press, the balcony furniture and the bikes nobody collected. We protect the lift and the corridor walls, carry what won’t fit the lift down the stairs, and stage it in the loading bay or on the street in short bursts so nothing sits blocking a fire route. Most one- and two-bed apartments are a half-day job with one truck; a large three-bed penthouse with a full balcony is a day.
If it’s a landlord’s apartment between tenancies, we photograph it empty for your records. If it’s a sale, we leave it ready for the agent’s photographer.
Partial apartment clearance in Longford
The most common apartment job we do is partial: the old sofa and mattress a tenant left behind, the furniture that won’t fit the new place, the contents of one bedroom that’s become storage. Small apartment jobs are quick — often under an hour on site — so they’re priced accordingly. We can also do a “swap”: remove the old sofa the morning the new one is delivered so you’re never without one.
What we take — and what we don’t
- Sofas, armchairs, beds, mattresses, wardrobes and flat-pack furniture
- White goods and small appliances
- Kitchen and bathroom contents
- Balcony furniture, plant pots, bikes
- Carpets, rugs, blinds and curtains
- Boxed belongings and general household waste
- Items dumped in bin stores and communal areas (for management companies)
Not included: Hazardous materials; Items belonging to other residents without the management company’s written say-so.
Apartment Clearance across Co. Longford: every town we cover
We provide an apartment clearance in all 32 towns and villages below, and at the rural addresses between them. Longford is small, flat and rural: Longford Town in the middle, Granard in the north, Edgeworthstown on the N4, Ballymahon and Lanesborough on the Shannon side, and dozens of villages between. Longford County Council has no council-run recycling centre at all — both civic amenity sites are operated by Mulleadys, the Longford Town one only opens Wednesdays and Saturdays, prices aren’t published, and there is no bulky-waste collection. Once or twice a year the council runs a Large Goods day at Drumlish at a flat charge per car or trailer.
Longford housing is older than most of Leinster’s: town-centre terraces in Longford Town and Granard, 1970s–80s bungalows on their own sites, farmhouses with full ranges of outbuildings, and a scatter of 2000s estates on the edges of the towns. Sheds, hay barns and the contents of a lifetime of farming come up in almost every Longford clearance.

Doing it yourself in Longford: what the council offers
Before you ring anyone, here is the honest picture of what Longford County Council will and won’t do for an apartment clearance. Furniture and bulky items are accepted at Longford Civic Amenity Site (Mulleadys), Westlink Business Park and Mulleadys Civic Amenity Site, Drumlish (Cloonaugh). Electrical items — fridges, washing machines, TVs, computers — are free to drop at every council site as WEEE, and we take them as part of any job. Watch the vehicle rules: Small domestic and small commercial loads only; large vans and trailer loads should use Drumlish — confirm by phone.
Longford County Council — no bulky-waste collection. Longford County Council does not run a kerbside or bookable bulky-waste collection. Instead it organises periodic Large Goods Collection days (typically one or two a year, Friday or Saturday mornings 10am–1pm) at Mulleadys Civic Amenity Site in Drumlish, sometimes with a second drop-off point in Longford town. At these events the charge is per vehicle, not per item: €20 per car, €30 per car with single-axle trailer, €40 per car with double-axle trailer or large van; tractors and trailers are not admitted. Accepted: beds, mattresses, sofas, furniture, carpets, children's toys, bicycles and household scrap metal. Not accepted: paint, electrical goods, PVC, plastic oil tanks, construction and demolition waste, lead, tiles, ceramics, broken glass. A household hazardous waste collection (per-kilo charge) is sometimes run alongside. No booking is required; dates are announced on longfordcoco.ie and council social media. Year-round, bulky items go to the two Mulleadys civic amenity sites or to a permitted private collector. Furniture in good condition can be donated to the Revamp 3R Store, Longford.

Or we come to you
Set that against a collection from us: no van to borrow, no gate fee, no weighbridge surprise, no two-mattress limit, no carrying it down the stairs yourself, and no question about whether the site will turn your load away. We quote a fixed price from photos, we load it, and it leaves under our waste collection permit (NWCPO-25-13287-01). For a single item the council site can be cheaper if you already have the van and the time; for anything more than a car-boot load, we usually are.

Photos and the building. Send photos plus the floor, lift situation and parking. Tell us if the management company needs insurance in advance — we send it.
Booking the lift. We arrange the lift booking or protective covers with the management agent where required, and time the truck for the loading-bay window.
The clearance. Two or three of us, lift protected, corridors kept clear, items staged and loaded in short bursts.
Handover. Photos of the empty apartment and the communal areas left as we found them.

What affects the price in Longford
Floor and lift — a fourth-floor walk-up is a different job from a ground-floor unit with a lift- Parking and loading-bay access — a 20-minute stopping window means more trips
Volume — most apartments are a half-day; penthouses and family apartments a full day- Management-company requirements — booked lift slots, out-of-hours work, insurance paperwork
Reuse — good flat-pack rarely survives disassembly, but good upholstered furniture does
Longford is about an hour and three-quarters from our yard in Athy — Ballymahon and Edgeworthstown a little less, Granard, Drumlish and the north of the county a little more.

Apartment Clearance in Longford: frequently asked questions
Will the management company allow it?
Almost always, provided we have insurance on file with them and we book the lift or loading bay where required. We handle that paperwork — send us the agent’s details and we’ll sort it before the day.
Can you use the bin store?
No — and neither can you, for furniture. Almost every management company in Longford bans bulky items from the bin store and will charge the owner for removing anything dumped there. We load straight onto the truck.
There’s no lift. Can you still do it?
Yes. Stairs are normal for us; we price by floor and carry carefully. Tell us the floor when you ask for a quote.
Do you take white goods?
Yes. Fridges, freezers, washing machines and cookers go for proper WEEE recycling — the council sites take these free, and so do we as part of the job.
Can you do it outside working hours?
Often yes, particularly where the building restricts moves to certain hours. Early morning and Saturday slots are available — ask when you book.
How quickly can you clear an apartment in Longford?
Small jobs can usually be done within a day or two of asking; full clearances within the week, subject to lift booking.
How is apartment clearance different from flat clearance?
We use “apartment” for purpose-built developments with lifts, management companies and bin stores, and “flat” for converted houses, bedsits, above-shop flats and council flat complexes, which bring different access problems. Each has its own page for Longford because the jobs are different.
Do you need the management company’s permission?
Usually they need notice rather than permission — a booked lift, our insurance on file, and a time window for the loading bay. We handle that with the agent once you give us their details.
Can you clear a furnished rental between tenants?
Yes — we take only what you tell us to and leave the landlord’s furniture in place. Photos before and after, and an invoice per unit for agents with several apartments.
What about the balcony and the storage cage?
Both included. Basement storage cages are a common forgotten space; tell us the cage number and we clear it in the same visit.
Will you take the bikes in the bike store?
Only your own, and only with the management company aware. Bikes left by previous residents are the management company’s call.
How much does an apartment clearance cost in Longford?
A single item or a few pieces is a short van call; a full one- or two-bed apartment is typically a half-day with one truck; a large three-bed is a day. Floor, lift and loading-bay access move the price more than the furniture does. Photos get you a fixed quote the same day.
Does Longford County Council collect bulky items?
No. Longford County Council does not run a bulky-waste collection. Your options are the council recycling centres listed above — with their charges and limits — or a permitted private collector like us.
How far is Longford from your base?
Longford is about an hour and three-quarters from our yard in Athy — Ballymahon and Edgeworthstown a little less, Granard, Drumlish and the north of the county a little more. We cover it by combining Longford jobs with Westmeath work on the same day, so ask for a date and we’ll fit you into the next run.
