Nobody clears an attic for fun. It gets done because the house is being sold, because the roof is being insulated or converted, because a parent has died and the children have discovered forty years of boxes, or because the ceiling has started to bow. By then there’s a lot up there, most of it in boxes that split when lifted, and the only way down is a ladder through a hatch.
We bring the crew, the bags, the boxes and the patience. Everything comes down, gets sorted into keep / reuse / recycle / dispose on the landing, and leaves the house the same day. ManageWaste.ie is operated by Krystal Klean Express Limited, permit NWCPO-25-13287-01. Kildare is our home county — we’re based in Athy, so most Kildare jobs are 20 to 45 minutes from the yard. That’s why we can usually offer next-day and often same-day slots here, and why Kildare quotes are the keenest we give.

Full attic clearance in Kildare
The whole roof space emptied: boxes, suitcases, old furniture that was carried up before the stairs were changed, cots and prams, Christmas decorations, the water tank’s old lagging, loose insulation, offcuts of timber and plasterboard from the last job, and the things nobody can identify. We lay dust sheets on the landing and the stairs, work through the hatch in a chain, and sort on the floor below. Anything you want to look at first gets stacked separately. A typical semi’s attic is two to four hours; a big old house with a full-height attic that’s been used as a room can be a day.
If the attic is being insulated or converted, tell us — we’ll clear right back to the joists and take the old insulation too.
Partial attic clearance in Kildare
Sometimes it’s just the furniture and the heavy things you can’t get down yourself, or just the half of the attic that belongs to one person, or just enough to make room for the water-tank engineer. We’ll do exactly that and leave the rest where it is. Partial attic jobs are usually an hour or two and priced to match.
What we take — and what we don’t
- Boxes, bags, suitcases and loose belongings
- Furniture stored in the attic — dismantled to get it through the hatch if needed
- Old insulation, lagging, water-tank jackets
- Timber offcuts, plasterboard, leftover building materials
- Christmas decorations, toys, cots, prams
- Old electricals, cables, computers (WEEE)
- Clothes, books, paperwork and photographs — sorted and kept where you ask
Not included: Asbestos-containing insulation or boards (we’ll stop and tell you if we see it); Wasp nests and live pests — call a pest controller first; Removing attic flooring or structural timber.
Attic Clearance across Co. Kildare: every town we cover
We provide an attic clearance in all 58 towns and villages below, and at the rural addresses between them. Kildare splits roughly into three: the commuter belt in the north-east (Maynooth, Leixlip, Celbridge, Kilcock) where the county meets Dublin; the central spine along the M7 and the Curragh (Naas, Newbridge, Kildare Town, Sallins, Clane); and the south and west (Athy, Castledermot, Monasterevin, Rathangan) where the towns are smaller and the properties bigger. Kildare County Council does not collect bulky waste from households at all — every bulky item in the county either goes to one of two recycling centres, both of which charge by the kilo, or is collected by a permitted operator like us.
A lot of Kildare housing is 1990s–2000s estate semis and townhouses with decent access and a driveway, which makes for straightforward jobs. The exceptions are the older town-centre terraces in Athy, Naas and Kildare Town, period houses and farmhouses with full outbuildings, and the apartment schemes in Naas, Newbridge, Leixlip and Maynooth where we work to the management company’s rules.

Doing it yourself in Kildare: what the council offers
Before you ring anyone, here is the honest picture of what Kildare County Council will and won’t do for an attic clearance. Timber is taken at Silliot Hill Recycling Centre & Civic Amenity and Athy Recycling Centre (Gallows Hill), usually cheaper than general waste if it’s kept separate. 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.
Kildare County Council — no bulky-waste collection. Kildare County Council does not collect household or bulky waste. Bulky furniture is to be brought to the recycling centres or collected by an authorised private collector. Periodic free Mattress Amnesty Days at Silliot Hill (household only, max 6 mattresses, no divans/couches).

Kildare (Naas–Kilcullen road; operated by AES), R56 AC61 | Mon–Sat 8am–3:45pm; closed Sun & Bank Hols | Takes: bulky household & general waste (by weight); timber; white goods & WEEE (free); recyclables, polystyrene, textiles, cartridges | General/bulky: 30c per kg, min €8; WEEE free.; Timber: 10c/kg, min €5 Vans: Vans, trailers, estates and jeeps allowed (€4.50 entry); commercial waste accepted and weighed |

Kildare (opposite the GAA grounds; operated by AES), R14 W228 | Thu, Fri, Sat only 9am–3:45pm | Takes: bulky household & general waste (by weight); timber; white goods & WEEE (free); recyclables, textiles | General/bulky: 30c/kg, min €6.50; Timber: 10c/kg, min €5 Vans: Vans, trailers, estates and jeeps allowed; commercial waste accepted |
Council details are taken from the councils’ own published information and checked periodically; hours and charges change, so confirm with the site before travelling. Where a council hasn’t published a charge we say so rather than guess.
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.
How an attic clearance works with us
Photos through the hatch. A couple of photos from the ladder and a note of the hatch size and access tell us almost everything.
Agree what’s kept. Family paperwork and photographs are the usual keeps. We stack them on the landing for you.
The clearance. Dust sheets down, chain through the hatch, sort on the landing, out to the truck.
Finish. Landing and stairs hoovered, attic left clear to the joists if that’s what was asked.
Quick quote for attic clearance in Kildare
Name, phone and one line about the job. We ring you back within the hour (8am–8pm) with a price, or ask for a couple of photos first.
What affects the price in Kildare
Volume — attics are deceptive; photos help
Hatch and access — a small hatch with a loft ladder versus a proper stairs
Weight — books, tiles and old insulation are heavy and cost more to dispose of- Dismantling — furniture that has to come apart to fit through the hatch
- Combination — attic plus garage or shed on the same visit is cheaper than two visits
Kildare is our home county — we’re based in Athy, so most Kildare jobs are 20 to 45 minutes from the yard. That’s why we can usually offer next-day and often same-day slots here, and why Kildare quotes are the keenest we give. Send photos through the quote form or on WhatsApp and you’ll have a fixed price the same day.

Attic Clearance in Kildare: frequently asked questions
Will you go into the attic yourselves?
Yes. That’s the job. We bring our own ladder if the loft ladder isn’t safe, and we crawl the eaves to get everything.
Do you take old insulation?
Yes, loose or rolled fibreglass and mineral wool insulation goes as general waste. If we find anything that looks like asbestos we stop and tell you — that needs a specialist.
Can you sort what’s up there? I don’t know what’s in the boxes.
Yes. We bring boxes down and open them on the landing with you, or stack them for you to go through at your own pace and come back for the rest. Paperwork and photographs are always set aside.
What about the water tank and pipes?
We work around them and don’t touch plumbing or wiring. If the attic is being cleared for a tank replacement or insulation job, we clear exactly the area the tradesman needs.
Can you do the garage and shed the same day in Kildare?
Yes, and it’s cheaper as one visit. Attic, garage and shed together is one of our most common Kildare jobs — see the garage clearance and shed clearance pages for Kildare.
Is a cleared attic worth it before a sale?
Agents say an empty attic is a real selling point — buyers look up the hatch. It also lets the surveyor see the roof, which avoids questions later.
Is there a minimum charge for an attic?
A small attic job is priced as a short visit — an hour or two — rather than a full clearance rate. We don’t pad small jobs.
Can you take the attic flooring or the old water tank?
Loose boards and chipboard sheets, yes. A disconnected tank, yes. Anything still plumbed or wired we leave for the tradesperson.
Will you take Christmas decorations and children’s things to charity?
Where they’re in good condition and a charity will take them, we try. Tell us what you’d like kept out of the general load.
Can you do it while I’m at work?
Yes, with a key and a note of what’s being kept. We send photos of the empty attic and the landing before we leave.
Do you take the dust and debris as well?
Yes — we hoover the landing and stairs and bag the loose debris from the attic floor. A full clean of the attic space is extra if you want it.
Does Kildare County Council collect bulky items?
No. Kildare 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 Kildare from your base?
Kildare is our home county — we’re based in Athy, so most Kildare jobs are 20 to 45 minutes from the yard. That’s why we can usually offer next-day and often same-day slots here, and why Kildare quotes are the keenest we give.
