Commercial Waste Removal in Co. Carlow
The waste the bin company won’t take — fit-outs, fixtures, old stock, a unit’s leftovers, a landlord’s void. Collected around your opening hours, by a permitted carrier, across Carlow.

Your bin contract covers the bins. It doesn’t cover the shelving from the refit, the stock that didn’t sell, the fittings the last tenant left in the unit, the broken chairs in the storeroom, or the skip-load that comes out when a premises changes hands. For that you need a one-off collection from a carrier that is permitted to take commercial waste — and that matters more than people think, because the business that produced the waste is responsible for where it ends up.
ManageWaste.ie is operated by Krystal Klean Express Limited, an authorised waste carrier holding Waste Collection Permit No. NWCPO-25-13287-01, with public liability insurance. We collect from shops, offices, landlords, property managers, schools, clubs and small industrial units across Carlow, and we schedule around trading hours. Carlow Town is 20 minutes from our yard — Athy is right on the Kildare–Carlow border — and nowhere in the county is more than about 50 minutes away. Carlow gets our fastest response times and keenest pricing after Kildare itself.

Full commercial clearance in Carlow
A premises emptied end to end — the shop floor, the stockroom, the office upstairs, the yard. Fixtures and fittings, shelving and racking, counters, display units, signage, old stock, packaging, furniture, IT equipment, and the general accumulation of a business that has traded for years. We separate metal, timber, cardboard, WEEE and general waste as we load, because commercial loads are charged by weight at the facility and sorting keeps that honest. Where fittings have resale value we’ll tell you. A small retail unit is typically a day; a larger premises or a full yard is several loads.
For landlords and managing agents: void units cleared between tenants, with photographs and an invoice per unit. For tenants: cleared to the condition the lease requires, with the dilapidations schedule in mind.
One-off and partial commercial collections in Carlow
Most commercial jobs are smaller than a full clearance: the pile of flattened cardboard the bin company won’t take, the old shelving after a refit, the broken furniture in the storeroom, the stock that’s been written off, the leftovers after the Christmas rush. We collect that as a one-off — often the same week, sometimes the same day — and we can set up a standing arrangement if it recurs.
What we take — and what we don’t
- Shop fittings, shelving, racking, counters and display units
- Office furniture and IT equipment (WEEE)
- Written-off stock, packaging and cardboard in bulk
- Timber, pallets and crates
- Fit-out and refurbishment leftovers (non-hazardous)
- Contents of void units, storerooms and yards
- General commercial waste that doesn’t fit the bin contract
- Signage, fixtures and the awkward large items
Not included: Hazardous and clinical waste (we can point you to licensed handlers); Food waste in bulk (separate collectors); Asbestos.
Commercial Waste across Co. Carlow: every town we cover
We provide commercial waste removal in all 26 towns and villages below, and at the rural addresses between them. Carlow is compact: Carlow Town and its surrounds in the north, Tullow and the Slaney valley in the east, Bagenalstown and Leighlinbridge along the Barrow in the middle, and Borris, Myshall and the Blackstairs villages in the south. Carlow County Council provides no household waste collection of any kind. Bulky items go to one site — Powerstown, outside Carlow Town, which charges €210 a tonne with a €15 minimum and €20 per mattress — or to a permitted collector.
Carlow Town’s industrial estates on the Dublin and Kilkenny roads, the IT Carlow area, Tullow and Bagenalstown’s smaller estates, and the agri businesses across the county make up Carlow’s commercial work. We’re twenty minutes away, which keeps one-off business collections cheap.

Doing it yourself in Carlow: what the council offers
Before you ring anyone, here is the honest picture of what Carlow County Council will and won’t do for commercial waste removal. Timber is taken at Powerstown Civic Amenity Site, 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. Powerstown Civic Amenity Site is for household waste only — commercial loads are turned away.
Carlow County Council — no bulky-waste collection. Carlow County Council does not provide a household waste or bulky-goods collection. Residents are directed to hire a skip from a private collector or bring bulky waste to Powerstown Civic Amenity Site. Occasional promotional drop-off weeks at Powerstown (furniture, garden items, oversized toys for a flat €5 per vehicle, householders only).
| Council site | Opening hours | For commercial waste | Charges |
|---|---|---|---|
| Powerstown Civic Amenity Site Powerstown, Kilkenny Road, Carlow, Co. Carlow, R93 RF22 | Tue–Fri 8:30am–4pm; Sat 8:30am–12:30pm; closed Sun, Mon & Bank Hols. Last vehicle ~20 min before closing. Cash or card. | Takes: general household waste (weighed); WEEE (free); timber Won’t take: commercial waste at household rates | General waste €210/tonne, min €15 (up to 70kg); single black bag €6; food waste/green waste/timber/flat glass €100/tonne; WEEE free. Vans: Weighbridge-based; vans/trailers appear admitted at weight rates (no explicit policy published) |
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.

Commercial Waste in Carlow: frequently asked questions
Are you permitted to take commercial waste?
Yes. Krystal Klean Express Limited holds NWCPO permit NWCPO-25-13287-01. You can check it on the NWCPO register — and you should check any collector, because the producer of the waste shares the responsibility for where it goes.
Can you come outside trading hours?
Yes. Early morning, after close and Saturday collections are normal for shops and offices in Carlow. Tell us the window.
Do you provide paperwork for our records?
An invoice as standard, and on request a note of the facility the load went to. Businesses with an environmental policy or a landlord’s lease requirement often ask for it.
Can we set up a regular collection?
Yes — weekly, monthly, or “call when the storeroom is full”. We agree a rate and you email or WhatsApp when you need us.
Do you clear void units for landlords?
A large part of what we do. Keys from the agent, cleared, photographed, invoiced per unit. See also the office clearance and warehouse clearance pages for Carlow.
Which parts of Carlow do you cover for businesses?
All of it — every town on this page and the business parks and industrial estates around them.
Can we get a regular collection on a contract?
Yes — monthly, quarterly or “when the storeroom is full”, at an agreed rate. Email or WhatsApp when you need us and we slot you in.
Do you provide waste transfer documentation?
On request, yes — a record of the load and the facility it went to, under our permit. Businesses with an environmental policy or an auditor usually want it.
Can you take cardboard and packaging in bulk?
Yes. Clean cardboard is baled or bagged for recycling and priced separately from mixed waste, which keeps the bill down.
We’re a school / club / charity. Do you do those?
Yes — schools, GAA clubs, community halls and charities are regular Carlow customers, often for a once-a-year clear-out.
Can you clear a unit the landlord has repossessed?
Yes, once the landlord has the legal right to it. We clear, photograph and invoice the landlord or agent directly.
Does Carlow County Council collect bulky items?
No. Carlow County Council does not run a bulky-waste collection. Your options are the council recycling centre listed above — with their charges and limits — or a permitted private collector like us.
How far is Carlow from your base?
Carlow Town is 20 minutes from our yard — Athy is right on the Kildare–Carlow border — and nowhere in the county is more than about 50 minutes away. Carlow gets our fastest response times and keenest pricing after Kildare itself.
