Garden Waste Clearance in Co. Offaly
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 Offaly.

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 Offaly 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. Offaly is closer to us than people expect: Edenderry is 40 minutes from Athy, Tullamore about an hour, Clara and Kilcormac a little more, and Birr, Banagher and the Shannon villages about an hour and a quarter. We’re in Offaly most weeks, so there’s usually a slot within a few days.

Full garden clearance in Offaly
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 Offaly 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. Offaly: every town we cover
We provide a garden waste clearance in all 37 towns and villages below, and at the rural addresses between them. Offaly runs from the Kildare border at Edenderry across the bog country to the Shannon at Banagher and Shannonbridge, with Tullamore in the middle, Birr in the south-west and Clara, Ferbane and Kilcormac between. Offaly County Council has no bulky-waste collection but it does run three civic amenity sites — Derryclure outside Tullamore, Birr and Edenderry — all with a €3 car entry: Derryclure weighs furniture at 19c a kilo, while Birr and Edenderry charge per couch, armchair and bag, and Edenderry takes no garden waste, timber or rubble at all.
Tullamore has Georgian and Victorian terraces around the canal, 1960s–80s estates and big 2000s developments; Edenderry grew fast as a commuter town; Birr is a Georgian heritage town with tight streets; and the rest of the county is farmhouses, bungalows and villages with plenty of sheds. The old bog-village cottages often come with decades of accumulation.

Doing it yourself in Offaly: what the council offers
Before you ring anyone, here is the honest picture of what Offaly County Council will and won’t do for a garden waste clearance. Clean green waste goes to Derryclure Civic Amenity Site & Waste Recycling Facility and Birr Recycling Centre, charged Green waste 9.5c/kg. Timber is taken at Derryclure Civic Amenity Site & Waste Recycling Facility and Birr Recycling Centre, usually cheaper than general waste if it’s kept separate. Small amounts of household rubble and plasterboard are accepted at Derryclure Civic Amenity Site & Waste Recycling Facility and Birr Recycling Centre. Edenderry Recycling Centre won’t take construction waste. Watch the vehicle rules: Small vans (€10) and large vans (€20) admitted; single-axle trailer €10, double-axle €20; domestic waste only.
Offaly County Council — no bulky-waste collection. Offaly County Council does not run a household or bulky-waste kerbside collection. Bin collection is by private permitted collectors, and bulky items (furniture, mattresses, carpets) go to one of the three council civic amenity sites at Tullamore (Derryclure), Birr and Edenderry, all operated for the council by Oxigen Environmental, or are taken away by an authorised private collector. The council runs periodic free Mattress Amnesty days with Cirtex and Oxigen: in September 2025 one Saturday (10am to 2pm) at each of Birr, Edenderry and Derryclure, limit four mattresses per household, householders only, no commercial users.

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.

Garden Waste Clearance in Offaly: 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 Offaly 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 Offaly — 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 Offaly?
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.
Does Offaly County Council collect bulky items?
No. Offaly 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 Offaly from your base?
Offaly is closer to us than people expect: Edenderry is 40 minutes from Athy, Tullamore about an hour, Clara and Kilcormac a little more, and Birr, Banagher and the Shannon villages about an hour and a quarter. We’re in Offaly most weeks, so there’s usually a slot within a few days.
