There is no good time to clear a house after a death. There is often a deadline — a sale, a tenancy ending, a council or landlord wanting the keys, probate that can’t move until the house is empty — and there is almost always more in the house than anyone expected. Families divide between the ones who want it done and the ones who can’t face it, and the one who lives nearest ends up with the job.
We’ve done a great many of these. The crew is briefed to be quiet and careful; nobody comments on anything; paperwork, photographs, jewellery and anything that looks personal is set aside without being asked; and we work on the days and at the pace the family can manage. ManageWaste.ie is operated by Krystal Klean Express Limited, permit NWCPO-25-13287-01, and we can deal directly with the executor or solicitor if that’s easier for you. 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 bereavement house clearance in Longford
The whole house, when the family is ready. We walk through with you first — in person or on a video call — and you tell us what’s being kept, what’s going to family, and what you’d like a charity to have. We clear in an order that makes sense: the rooms you’re finished with first, the ones you want to go through last. Personal effects are collected in one place as we go: documents, photographs, letters, medals, jewellery, anything with a name on it. Good furniture and household goods go for reuse where we can arrange it. The house is left empty and swept, and we send photographs of every room.
If probate requires an inventory or a letter confirming the clearance, we provide it. If the house has been empty a while, we deal with what that brings.
Partial bereavement clearance in Longford
Many families do this in stages: the bulky furniture now so the house can be shown; the attic and the shed next; the personal rooms when they’re ready. We’re glad to work that way. We’ll clear what you ask and leave everything else exactly as it is, and come back when you call. There’s no pressure to do it all at once and no penalty for doing it in three visits.
What we take — and what we don’t
- Furniture, beds, mattresses and the contents of every room
- Personal effects — gathered, boxed and kept for the family
- Clothes and textiles — sorted for charity where possible
- Kitchen contents, appliances and white goods
- Medical equipment, mobility aids, hospital beds (we can arrange return where they’re on loan)
- Attic, garage, shed and garden
- Paperwork — set aside unread for the executor
- Cleaning to broom-clean standard, with a full clean available
Not included: Valuing or selling contents (we can suggest auctioneers); Legal advice on probate or tenancy — ask your solicitor; Hazardous waste.
Bereavement Clearance across Co. Longford: every town we cover
We provide a bereavement 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 a bereavement clearance. Furniture and bulky items are accepted at Longford Civic Amenity Site (Mulleadys), Westlink Business Park and Mulleadys Civic Amenity Site, Drumlish (Cloonaugh). 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.

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 a bereavement clearance works with us
A conversation first. By phone or in person. We listen to what’s needed, who needs to be involved, and what the timing is.
Walk-through and a plan. What’s kept, what’s going where, what order the rooms go in. Written down so everyone in the family has it.
The clearance. Quiet, careful, at your pace. Personal items gathered. Reuse arranged where possible.
Handover. Photos of every room, keys returned as agreed, a clearance letter for probate if needed.

Bereavement Clearance in Longford: frequently asked questions
How soon after the funeral should we do this?
Only when you’re ready. There’s no right time. If there’s a deadline from a landlord, a sale or a solicitor we’ll work to it; if there isn’t, take the time you need and call us when you’re ready.
Will the crew be respectful?
Yes. They’re briefed before every bereavement job, they work quietly, and nothing is commented on. Many customers tell us afterwards that it was easier than they feared because of how the crew behaved.
What if we find something we want to keep after you’ve left?
Ring us immediately. Loads are held for a short period before sorting, and we’ll do everything we can to find it. We also gather anything that looks personal as we go, so paperwork, photos and jewellery are usually already set aside.
Can you deal with the solicitor or executor?
Yes. Give us their details and we’ll arrange access, timing and any letter or inventory they need for probate directly with them.
Can the furniture go to charity?
We try. Good furniture is set aside for reuse where we can arrange it; worn or damaged pieces are recycled. Tell us if there’s a particular charity you’d like us to try.
Can you return the hospital bed and mobility equipment?
Where it’s on loan from the HSE or a supplier, yes — tell us and we’ll arrange the return rather than disposing of it.
Do you cover all of Longford?
Yes — every town and village on this page and the rural addresses between them. 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.
Can one family member deal with you on behalf of everyone?
Yes — that’s how it usually works. We take instructions from one person, keep everything in writing, and anything another family member wants to see is set aside until they’ve had a look.
Can you clear a nursing-home room or a sheltered-housing flat?
Yes. These often need doing quickly and quietly, and the staff will usually have a short window. We work to it.
What do you do with medication and medical supplies?
Medication is set aside for return to a pharmacy — we don’t dispose of it. Mobility equipment on loan is returned where we can arrange it.
Will you find things hidden in the house?
We look. Money, documents and jewellery turn up in coat pockets, biscuit tins and under mattresses, and every bag is checked before it goes on the truck.
Do you provide anything for the solicitor?
A letter confirming the clearance and, where needed, a basic inventory. Tell us what the solicitor has asked for and we’ll provide it.
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.
