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. North Wexford is nearer us than you might think — Bunclody is 45 minutes from Athy, Enniscorthy and Gorey about an hour, New Ross a little more, and Wexford Town, Rosslare and the Hook about an hour and a half. We’re in Wexford every week, usually combining the north of the county with Carlow work.

Full attic clearance in Wexford
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 Wexford
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. Wexford: every town we cover
We provide an attic clearance in all 105 towns and villages below, and at the rural addresses between them. Wexford is a long county: Gorey and the Courtown coast in the north, Enniscorthy on the Slaney in the middle, New Ross on the Barrow in the west, Wexford Town and Rosslare in the south-east and the Hook peninsula in the far south, with the biggest run of villages in Leinster between them. Wexford County Council runs no bulky-waste collection, and only one of its four recycling centres — Holmestown near Wexford Town — takes furniture, mattresses and general waste; Enniscorthy, New Ross and Gorey are recyclables and WEEE only. So for most of the county, bulky waste means a long drive to Holmestown or a permitted collector.
Wexford Town has Georgian and Victorian terraces on narrow streets, Gorey and Enniscorthy grew fast in the 2000s with large estates and apartment schemes, and the coast from Courtown to Rosslare is full of holiday homes and mobile-home parks that need clearing at the end of a season or a sale. Inland it’s farmhouses with yards and sheds, and bungalows on their own sites.

Doing it yourself in Wexford: what the council offers
Before you ring anyone, here is the honest picture of what Wexford County Council will and won’t do for an attic clearance. 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: Vans and trailers admitted with set load bands: single-axle trailer/van €65–€100, double-axle trailer or large van €100–€150, extra-large van €180; domestic waste only.
Wexford County Council — no bulky-waste collection. Wexford County Council does not collect household or bulky waste from the kerb; bin collection is by licensed private operators listed on wexfordcoco.ie. Bulky furniture, mattresses and carpets are accepted only at the Holmestown Household Recycling Centre near Wexford town (per-item charges), or via an authorised private collector. Free anti-dumping amnesties run most years: a Mattress Amnesty across all four recycling centres over four weeks in September–October 2025 (Tue–Fri 8:15am–12pm and 1pm–4pm, limit 3 mattresses per vehicle, one entry per vehicle, €2 vehicle entry, households only, mattresses clean and dry), and a free Furniture Amnesty at Holmestown for three weeks from September 2026 (Tue–Fri 9am–3pm, freestanding furniture only such as tables, chairs and couches, max 4 items per household, one trip only, no mattresses, no commercial waste).

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.

What affects the price in Wexford
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
North Wexford is nearer us than you might think — Bunclody is 45 minutes from Athy, Enniscorthy and Gorey about an hour, New Ross a little more, and Wexford Town, Rosslare and the Hook about an hour and a half. We’re in Wexford every week, usually combining the north of the county with Carlow work. Send photos through the quote form or on WhatsApp and you’ll have a fixed price the same day.

Attic Clearance in Wexford: 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 Wexford?
Yes, and it’s cheaper as one visit. Attic, garage and shed together is one of our most common Wexford jobs — see the garage clearance and shed clearance pages for Wexford.
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 Wexford County Council collect bulky items?
No. Wexford 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 Wexford from your base?
North Wexford is nearer us than you might think — Bunclody is 45 minutes from Athy, Enniscorthy and Gorey about an hour, New Ross a little more, and Wexford Town, Rosslare and the Hook about an hour and a half. We’re in Wexford every week, usually combining the north of the county with Carlow work.
