Furniture Removal in Co. Laois
The sofa that’s done, the bed that’s been replaced, the wardrobe that won’t come apart. Collected from inside the house, reused where it can be, recycled where it can’t — across Laois.

Old furniture is the single most common thing we collect. It doesn’t fit the car, the shop that delivered the new one wouldn’t take the old one, and it’s too good — or too heavy — to leave out for someone to take. Laois has no council collection for bulky furniture, so the choice is a van trip to the recycling centre or a collection from us.
We collect from inside the house, dismantle what needs dismantling, and set good pieces aside for reuse. ManageWaste.ie is operated by Krystal Klean Express Limited, permit NWCPO-25-13287-01. Portlaoise is 35 minutes from Athy, Portarlington and Stradbally nearer 25, and the far west of the county — Rathdowney, Borris-in-Ossory — about an hour. Laois is one of our closest counties and we’re there several times a week.

Clearing a house of furniture in Laois
When it’s all the furniture — a house being sold empty, a rental being refurnished, a move where nothing is coming — we treat it as a furniture-only clearance: every piece out, dismantled where needed, loaded in an order that protects what can be reused. Good solid furniture, especially hardwood pieces and sound upholstery, is set aside for reuse where we can arrange it, which reduces the disposal cost and we pass that on. Flat-pack rarely survives disassembly and goes for recycling as timber and metal. A house-worth of furniture is typically a half-day and one load.
Single pieces and small furniture collections
One sofa. A bed and mattress. The wardrobe. The dining table and six chairs. These are quick stops and we price them as such, and we try to fit them into a run already going through Laois so the price stays sensible. We can time it to the day your new furniture arrives — out with the old in the morning, in with the new in the afternoon.
What we take — and what we don’t
- Sofas, armchairs, recliners and sofa beds
- Beds, bed frames, mattresses and divans
- Wardrobes, chests of drawers, dressers and sideboards
- Dining tables, chairs, desks and bookcases
- Garden furniture
- Flat-pack furniture — dismantled and recycled
- Office furniture from home offices
- Carrying from any room and any floor
Not included: Pianos and safes (ask — we can arrange specialist movers); Furniture you want moved to another address (that’s a removals job, not disposal — though we can advise).
Furniture Removal across Co. Laois: every town we cover
We provide furniture removal in all 35 towns and villages below, and at the rural addresses between them. Laois is a commuter county in the east (Portlaoise, Portarlington, Stradbally, Emo, along the M7 and the Dublin–Cork line) and a rural one in the west and south (Mountrath, Rathdowney, Durrow, Abbeyleix, the Slieve Bloom villages). Laois County Council does not collect bulky waste, but it does run occasional free amnesty days for couches and bed bases at Portlaoise Rugby Club — two items per car, once or twice a year. Outside those days, bulky waste goes to Kyletalesha outside Portlaoise, which charges a gate fee per vehicle plus weight, or to a permitted collector.
Portlaoise and Portarlington grew fast in the 2000s, so there are large estates of semis and townhouses plus apartment schemes near the stations. The rest of the county is older: town-centre terraces in Mountmellick and Abbeyleix, farmhouses with yards and sheds, and bungalows on rural sites with plenty of room to accumulate.

Doing it yourself in Laois: what the council offers
Before you ring anyone, here is the honest picture of what Laois County Council will and won’t do for furniture removal. Portlaoise Civic Amenity Site / Kyletalesha Landfill & Recycling Centre and Portarlington Civic Amenity Site do not accept furniture or mattresses at all. Watch the vehicle rules: Vans, jeeps, trailers and large vans admitted at tiered gate fees (€10–€25); commercial €30; trailer covers mandatory.
Laois County Council — no bulky-waste collection. No bookable household bulky-waste collection. Laois County Council runs periodic free bulky-waste amnesty days (typically at Portlaoise Rugby Club, e.g. July/August, Saturday morning) — couches, armchairs and bed bases only, max two items per vehicle, domestic only. Otherwise bulky items go to Kyletalesha (general waste €200/tonne, mattresses €20) or private collectors.

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.

Furniture Removal in Laois: frequently asked questions
Can you take just one item?
Yes. Single-item collections are a large part of what we do in Laois. We fit them into runs to keep them cheap.
Will you take it from upstairs?
Yes, from any room on any floor, with the walls and door frames protected. Tell us the floor.
Can you take the old one the day the new one arrives?
Yes — book us for the morning and the delivery for the afternoon.
What happens to good furniture?
Reused where we can arrange it. It lowers your price and keeps it out of landfill. Tell us if there’s a charity you’d like us to try.
Do you take mattresses?
Yes, with a per-mattress disposal charge shown on the quote — the same charge the council sites apply where they accept them.
Do you cover every town in Laois?
Yes — every town on this page and the addresses in between.
Can you take a wardrobe that was built in the room?
Yes — we dismantle it. Fitted wardrobes are unscrewed from the wall and taken in panels; freestanding ones come apart the same way.
Do you take garden and patio furniture?
Yes — rattan, metal, timber, parasols, and the cover that blew away. Timber and metal are recycled separately.
Can you collect from a storage unit or a garage?
Yes. Tell us the location and access, and we collect from there instead of the house.
Do you take office furniture from a home office?
Yes — desks, chairs, filing cabinets and bookcases from home offices are a common collection.
Is there a minimum charge for furniture collection in Laois?
A single-item collection is priced as a short stop, not a full clearance. Being close to our yard, Laois single items are among the cheapest collections we do.
Does Laois County Council collect bulky items?
No. Laois 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 Laois from your base?
Portlaoise is 35 minutes from Athy, Portarlington and Stradbally nearer 25, and the far west of the county — Rathdowney, Borris-in-Ossory — about an hour. Laois is one of our closest counties and we’re there several times a week.
