Garage Clearance in Co. Wicklow
Garages are where the house keeps what it can’t throw out. Tools, timber, tins of paint, the exercise bike, the second fridge. We clear the lot across Wicklow and deal properly with the awkward stuff.

A garage clearance is a different beast from a house clearance. Less furniture, more weight: timber, tiles, bags of cement that have gone hard, car parts, a lawnmower that hasn’t started since 2015, paint tins, bottles of something, a chest freezer with the door taped shut. Much of it needs separating — paint, oil and chemicals can’t go in with the general load, timber is cheaper to dispose of on its own, metal is worth keeping apart.
We sort as we load so each stream goes where it should, and we’re permitted to carry it. ManageWaste.ie is operated by Krystal Klean Express Limited, permit NWCPO-25-13287-01. From Athy we reach west Wicklow (Blessington, Baltinglass, Dunlavin) in about 40 minutes, Bray and Greystones in just over an hour via the M50, and Arklow and the coast in about 90 minutes. We group Wicklow jobs by side of the mountains to keep prices sensible.

Full garage clearance in Wicklow
Back to the walls and the floor. Shelving down if you want it gone, workbench out, everything on it and under it, the roof-space storage, the back corner nobody has reached in a decade. We separate timber, metal, WEEE, hazardous liquids and general waste on the way out and sweep the floor at the end. A single garage is normally a half-day with one truck; a double garage that’s been a workshop and a dump for thirty years is a day and often two loads because of the weight.
If the garage is being converted — into a room, a home office, a gym — we clear to a standard the builder can start on, including taking old fittings and any loose render off the floor.
Partial garage clearance in Wicklow
The old appliances. The pile of timber. The tyres. The thirty paint tins. A partial garage job is usually about one category of thing that you can’t get rid of any other way — and often it’s the category the council site won’t take, or charges extra for. We’ll collect just that and leave your garage otherwise as it was.
What we take — and what we don’t
- Timber, pallets, old doors and offcuts
- Tools, workbenches, shelving and racking
- Paint, varnish, oil, chemicals and garden treatments (household quantities)
- Tyres, car parts, bikes and lawnmowers
- Fridges, freezers, washing machines and old electricals
- Tiles, bagged cement, small amounts of rubble and plasterboard
- Garden furniture, tools, pots and the general overflow from the house
Not included: Asbestos (including old corrugated garage roofs — we can advise); Full fuel cans and gas cylinders with gas in them; Vehicles — ask, we can point you to a licensed end-of-life facility.
Garage Clearance across Co. Wicklow: every town we cover
We provide a garage clearance in all 53 towns and villages below, and at the rural addresses between them. Wicklow is really two counties divided by a mountain range. The east coast strip — Bray, Greystones, Wicklow Town, Arklow and the villages between — is where most people live, with good roads but tight older streets in the town centres. West Wicklow — Blessington, Baltinglass, Dunlavin, Tinahely, Carnew — is rural, closer to us, and the properties often come with sheds, barns and years of accumulation. The important thing about Wicklow: the council’s recycling centres do not accept furniture, mattresses, carpets or construction waste at all. There is no council route for bulky items in Wicklow — it’s a private collector or a skip.
Expect a mix of seaside terraces and apartments in Bray and Greystones, big detached houses in the hills around Enniskerry and Delgany, 1970s–90s estates in Wicklow Town and Arklow, and farmhouses and bungalows across the west of the county. Narrow lanes, steep driveways and long carries from the road are the Wicklow access issues we price for.

Doing it yourself in Wicklow: what the council offers
Before you ring anyone, here is the honest picture of what Wicklow County Council will and won’t do for a garage clearance. Bray Recycling Centre, Arklow Recycling Centre and Avoca (Ballymurtagh) Recycling Centre won’t take construction waste. 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. Household paint, oil and chemicals are accepted at Arklow Recycling Centre and Avoca (Ballymurtagh) Recycling Centre, usually for a small charge.
Wicklow County Council — no bulky-waste collection. No regular council bulky-waste collection; household waste by private permitted collectors. Occasional one-off free 'Bulky Waste Day' events. Council recycling centre leaflets (Arklow, Avoca) explicitly list bulky furniture, mattresses, construction waste and tyres as NOT accepted — bulky items in Wicklow generally require a private collector or skip.

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 garage clearance works with us
Photos. A wide shot from the door and a couple of close-ups of the heavy stuff. Tell us if there are chemicals, tyres or a freezer.
Fixed price. Quoted on what we see, with the separate streams (hazardous, tyres, WEEE) priced honestly.
The clearance. Sorted as we load — timber, metal, WEEE, hazardous and general on the truck separately.
Swept and done. Floor swept, shelving left or taken as agreed, photos sent.

Name, phone and one line about the job. We ring you back within the hour (8am–8pm) with a price, or ask for a couple of photos first.
What affects the price in Wicklow
Weight — the big factor in garages; timber, tiles and cement cost by the tonne to dispose of- Hazardous items — paint, oil and chemicals have separate disposal costs
Tyres and appliances — priced per item
Access — a garage at the end of a long garden versus one on the driveway
Reuse and scrap — tools, metal and good timber reduce the bill
From Athy we reach west Wicklow (Blessington, Baltinglass, Dunlavin) in about 40 minutes, Bray and Greystones in just over an hour via the M50, and Arklow and the coast in about 90 minutes. We group Wicklow jobs by side of the mountains to keep prices sensible. Send photos through the quote form or on WhatsApp and you’ll have a fixed price the same day.

Garage Clearance in Wicklow: frequently asked questions
Do you take paint, oil and chemicals?
Yes, in household quantities, separated from the general load and taken to a facility that handles them. There is a per-item or per-litre cost for these — we show it on the quote rather than hiding it.
Do you take tyres?
Yes, priced per tyre. Wicklow’s council centres don’t accept tyres at all, so a collector is the route.
What about the old chest freezer?
Fridges and freezers go for WEEE recycling — the council sites take them free and we take them as part of the job. Empty it first if you can; if you can’t, tell us and we’ll deal with it.
Can you take the garage shelving and workbench?
Yes, dismantled and taken, or left if you want to keep it. Metal racking goes for scrap, which helps the price.
Will you clear it ready for a conversion?
Yes — back to bare walls and floor, old fittings off, loose material up. Tell the builder to send us their list.
Garage, shed and attic together in Wicklow?
Absolutely, and it’s the most cost-effective way to do it — one crew, one truck, one day. See the shed clearance and attic clearance pages for Wicklow.
Can you take a car engine or heavy machinery?
If it can be moved by two people or a sack truck, yes. Engine blocks, lathes and the like are heavy but fine. Anything needing a crane we arrange separately.
Do you take asbestos garage roofs?
No — asbestos cement sheets need a licensed contractor. We’ll point you to one and clear the garage once the roof is done.
What about half-full paint tins and old creosote?
Household quantities, yes, separated and taken for proper disposal. We charge per item for these because the facilities charge us per litre.
Can you clear a garage that’s been used as a workshop?
Yes — benches, vices, racking, tools, offcuts and swarf. Tools and metal are set aside for reuse or scrap, which brings the price down.
Do you offer same-day garage clearance in Wicklow?
Sometimes. Wicklow jobs are grouped into runs, so next-day is more realistic than same-day, but ask.
Does Wicklow County Council collect bulky items?
No. Wicklow 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 Wicklow from your base?
From Athy we reach west Wicklow (Blessington, Baltinglass, Dunlavin) in about 40 minutes, Bray and Greystones in just over an hour via the M50, and Arklow and the coast in about 90 minutes. We group Wicklow jobs by side of the mountains to keep prices sensible.
