Garden Waste Clearance in Co. Kildare
Hedge cuttings by the trailer-load, the decking you ripped up, the shed that fell down, a garden that got away from someone. Cleared and taken away — across Kildare.

Garden waste is awkward because it comes in two kinds and the council treats them differently. Green waste — grass, hedge cuttings, branches, leaves, old plants — is cheap to dispose of if it’s clean and separate, and Kildare County Council accepts it at the recycling centres for a small charge. Everything else that comes out of a garden — decking, fence panels, the shed, the rotary line, the broken furniture, the paving slabs, the bags of rubble from the patio — is general or construction waste and costs more, and much of it the council sites either refuse or charge heavily for.
We take both kinds in one visit, keep them separate on the truck so the green waste is composted and the rest is disposed of correctly, and we do the cutting back if the garden needs it first. ManageWaste.ie is operated by Krystal Klean Express Limited, permit NWCPO-25-13287-01. Kildare is our home county — we’re based in Athy, so most Kildare jobs are 20 to 45 minutes from the yard. That’s why we can usually offer next-day and often same-day slots here, and why Kildare quotes are the keenest we give.

Full garden clearance in Kildare
An overgrown or abandoned garden brought back to bare ground: the growth cut back and removed, the old shed dismantled, the decking and fencing lifted, the junk that accumulated behind the shed taken, the paving and rubble bagged and loaded. We bring the tools for the cutting back and the crew for the carrying — in Kildare it usually means a long carry from the back of a site to the road. Green waste goes as one stream, timber as another, general and rubble as a third. A small overgrown town garden is a half-day; a large rural garden with a collapsed shed and years of dumping is a day or two.
Green waste only, or just the big stuff
If you’ve done the cutting and just need the pile gone, we collect bagged or loose green waste as a single cheap stream — far cheaper than mixed waste, and it goes for composting. Or the reverse: just the decking, just the shed, just the fence panels, with the garden itself left alone. Both are priced for what they are.
What we take — and what we don’t
- Grass, hedge cuttings, branches, leaves and old plants
- Tree limbs and trunks that can be loaded by hand
- Decking, fence panels, posts and sleepers
- Sheds — dismantled and removed
- Garden furniture, barbecues, pots and planters
- Paving slabs, bagged soil and small amounts of rubble
- Garden junk — rotary lines, broken tools, dumped rubbish
- Cutting back and strimming before clearance, where needed
Not included: Tree felling and stump grinding (we can recommend a tree surgeon); Large volumes of soil or rubble (ask — a grab lorry may be cheaper); Japanese knotweed and invasive species (specialist disposal required — we’ll tell you if we see it).
Garden Waste Clearance across Co. Kildare: every town we cover
We provide a garden waste clearance in all 58 towns and villages below, and at the rural addresses between them. Kildare splits roughly into three: the commuter belt in the north-east (Maynooth, Leixlip, Celbridge, Kilcock) where the county meets Dublin; the central spine along the M7 and the Curragh (Naas, Newbridge, Kildare Town, Sallins, Clane); and the south and west (Athy, Castledermot, Monasterevin, Rathangan) where the towns are smaller and the properties bigger. Kildare County Council does not collect bulky waste from households at all — every bulky item in the county either goes to one of two recycling centres, both of which charge by the kilo, or is collected by a permitted operator like us.
A lot of Kildare housing is 1990s–2000s estate semis and townhouses with decent access and a driveway, which makes for straightforward jobs. The exceptions are the older town-centre terraces in Athy, Naas and Kildare Town, period houses and farmhouses with full outbuildings, and the apartment schemes in Naas, Newbridge, Leixlip and Maynooth where we work to the management company’s rules.

Doing it yourself in Kildare: what the council offers
Before you ring anyone, here is the honest picture of what Kildare County Council will and won’t do for a garden waste clearance. Clean green waste goes to Silliot Hill Recycling Centre & Civic Amenity and Athy Recycling Centre (Gallows Hill), charged Green waste: 10c/kg, min €5. Timber is taken at Silliot Hill Recycling Centre & Civic Amenity and Athy Recycling Centre (Gallows Hill), usually cheaper than general waste if it’s kept separate. Small amounts of household rubble and plasterboard are accepted at Athy Recycling Centre (Gallows Hill). Silliot Hill Recycling Centre & Civic Amenity won’t take construction waste.
Kildare County Council — no bulky-waste collection. Kildare County Council does not collect household or bulky waste. Bulky furniture is to be brought to the recycling centres or collected by an authorised private collector. Periodic free Mattress Amnesty Days at Silliot Hill (household only, max 6 mattresses, no divans/couches).

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.

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 Kildare
Green versus general — green waste alone is the cheapest thing we collect- Volume — trailer loads of cuttings add up
Weight — soil, rubble, slabs and wet timber
Cutting back — time with the tools before loading- Carry distance — through a house, up a passage, or across a site
Kildare is our home county — we’re based in Athy, so most Kildare jobs are 20 to 45 minutes from the yard. That’s why we can usually offer next-day and often same-day slots here, and why Kildare quotes are the keenest we give. Send photos through the quote form or on WhatsApp and you’ll have a fixed price the same day.

Garden Waste Clearance in Kildare: frequently asked questions
Is green waste cheaper than other garden waste?
Much. Clean green waste goes for composting at a low rate. Mixed garden waste — decking, soil, rubble, plastics — costs several times more. Keep them separate if you’re bagging it yourself and we’ll price it that way.
Will you do the cutting back?
Yes — strimming, hedge cutting and clearing growth before loading is part of a full garden clearance. Tree felling is a tree surgeon’s job.
Do you take the shed too?
Yes, dismantled and loaded with the rest. See the shed clearance page for Kildare if the shed is the main job.
Can you take soil and paving?
Small amounts, bagged, yes. For a patio-worth or a skip of soil, a grab lorry is usually cheaper and we’ll say so.
Does everything have to go through the house?
Rarely in Kildare — most gardens have side access or a gate. Where it does, we protect the route and sweep afterwards.
When is the best time to book?
Spring and autumn are busiest; mid-summer and winter are quieter and easier to book. For an overgrown garden, late winter before growth starts is ideal.
Do you take soil and turf?
Small amounts, yes. A patio-worth or a trailer of topsoil is heavy and a grab lorry is usually cheaper — we’ll tell you.
Can you remove a greenhouse or a polytunnel?
Yes — glass greenhouses are dismantled carefully and the glass taken as flat glass; polytunnel frames and covers are loaded separately.
What about a pond or a rockery?
Pond liners, pumps and the rubble from a rockery, yes. Draining a pond and rehoming fish is yours to do first.
Do you take hedge cuttings with brambles and thorns?
Yes — gloves and patience. Thorny waste still composts; we just load it carefully.
When are you busiest for gardens in Kildare?
April to June and September to October. Book a week or two ahead in those months; the rest of the year a few days is usually enough in Kildare.
Does Kildare County Council collect bulky items?
No. Kildare 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 Kildare from your base?
Kildare is our home county — we’re based in Athy, so most Kildare jobs are 20 to 45 minutes from the yard. That’s why we can usually offer next-day and often same-day slots here, and why Kildare quotes are the keenest we give.
