Commercial Waste Removal in Co. Kilkenny
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 Kilkenny.

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 Kilkenny, and we schedule around trading hours. Kilkenny City is about 45 minutes from our yard in Athy, Castlecomer and the north of the county nearer 30, and the south of the county around Mooncoin and Kilmacow roughly 75 minutes. We’re in Kilkenny most weeks.

Full commercial clearance in Kilkenny
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 Kilkenny
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. Kilkenny: every town we cover
We provide commercial waste removal in all 46 towns and villages below, and at the rural addresses between them. Kilkenny runs long north to south. The north — Castlecomer, Ballyragget, Urlingford, Freshford — is the closest part of the county to us. The city and its ring (Bennettsbridge, Gowran, Thomastown, Callan) is the busiest. The south — Mooncoin, Mullinavat, Kilmacow, Piltown, Ferrybank — looks to Waterford city for most things, including the recycling centre at Granny. Kilkenny County Council does not run any waste collection; its one council-operated site at Dunmore takes bulky items by weight, and everything else is private.
Kilkenny City’s business parks (Hebron, Loughboy, Purcellsinch) and the retail units in the medieval centre account for most commercial work, with Castlecomer, Thomastown and Callan adding smaller units and a lot of agri and food businesses across the county. City-centre shops on the narrow streets need an early start.

Doing it yourself in Kilkenny: what the council offers
Before you ring anyone, here is the honest picture of what Kilkenny County Council will and won’t do for commercial waste removal. 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. Panda Civic Amenity Site, Hebron is for household waste only — commercial loads are turned away. Dunmore Recycling and Waste Disposal Centre and Granny Recycling Centre (Grannagh) will weigh in commercial waste at business rates. Watch the vehicle rules: Car loads only — trailer loads not accepted.
Kilkenny County Council — no bulky-waste collection. Kilkenny County Council does not directly provide waste services or a bulky-waste pickup. Households are directed to civic amenity sites (Dunmore, Granny/Grannagh, Panda Hebron, Doheny's Callan Road). Bulky items and furniture accepted at Dunmore by weight (€185/tonne). Periodic free mattress amnesty weeks at Dunmore.

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 Kilkenny: 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 Kilkenny. 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 Kilkenny.
Which parts of Kilkenny 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 Kilkenny 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 Kilkenny County Council collect bulky items?
No. Kilkenny 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 Kilkenny from your base?
Kilkenny City is about 45 minutes from our yard in Athy, Castlecomer and the north of the county nearer 30, and the south of the county around Mooncoin and Kilmacow roughly 75 minutes. We’re in Kilkenny most weeks.
