House Clearance in Dublin
Whole homes or a single room, cleared by a careful crew that turns up when it says it will. This page covers every town and area in Dublin, what you can and can’t do through the council, and how we price it.

A house clearance is rarely only about getting things out of a building. It usually follows something — a parent moving into care, a sale that has to close, a tenancy ending, a family deciding it’s finally time. What you need from the people doing it is simple: they turn up, they work carefully, they don’t make you feel judged about the state of the place, and when they leave the house is empty and ready for whatever comes next.
ManageWaste.ie is operated by Krystal Klean Express Limited, an authorised waste carrier holding Waste Collection Permit No. NWCPO-25-13287-01 from the NWCPO. We’re based in Athy and run into Dublin daily — city-centre jobs are about 75 minutes from our yard, which is why we schedule Dublin work in rounds rather than one-offs, and why our quotes for Dublin don’t carry a long-distance premium.

Full house clearance in Dublin
Every room, top to bottom, including the attic, the garage, the shed and the garden. We take furniture, beds and mattresses, wardrobes and their contents, kitchen units and appliances, carpets and curtains if you want them gone, the contents of presses and drawers, and the general household waste that builds up in the corners. We sweep as we go and leave the property broom-clean. A full clearance is the right call when a house is being sold, handed back to a landlord, or passed on after a death and nobody is moving in.
Before we start we walk the house with you (or go through it on a video call) and agree what stays. Anything you want kept — paperwork, photographs, jewellery, the good dinner service — gets set aside in one room and nothing in that room is touched. A typical three-bed semi is a day’s work for a crew of two or three with one truck load; a large family home with a full attic and garage is usually two loads and a day and a half.
Partial house clearance in Dublin
Not every job is the whole house. Often it’s one room that’s become a store, the bulky items that won’t go in the car, the furniture that didn’t sell, or the half of a house that a family member hasn’t got around to. We do single rooms, single floors, “just the big stuff”, and “everything except what’s tagged”. A partial clearance is priced on what actually comes out, not on the size of the house, and it’s often done in a couple of hours.
Partial clearances are also the sensible first step when a family isn’t ready for the whole house. Clear the attic and the garage now, come back for the rest when the sale goes through. We’re happy to do it in stages.
What we take — and what we don’t
- Furniture — sofas, beds, wardrobes, tables, chairs, dressers
- Mattresses and bed bases
- Kitchen appliances, white goods and small electricals (WEEE)
- Carpets, curtains, blinds and rugs
- The contents of presses, drawers, wardrobes and the hot press
- Books, clothes, bric-a-brac and general household items
- Attic, garage, shed and outbuilding contents
- Garden furniture, tools and general garden clutter
- Bagged general waste and the odds and ends that don’t fit a category
Not included: Asbestos and hazardous materials (we can advise who to call); Full oil tanks, gas cylinders and fuel; Large quantities of construction rubble (ask — we can often arrange it).
House Clearance across Dublin: every area we cover
We provide a house clearance in all 161 areas below, and at the rural addresses between them. Dublin is four local authorities, not one, and that matters more than most people realise when they’re getting rid of things. Dublin City Council runs a bookable bulky-waste collection; Fingal, South Dublin and Dún Laoghaire–Rathdown don’t collect bulky waste at all. Where you live decides what the council will and won’t do for you — so on this page we’ve split the county by council area, named every area we cover, and set out exactly what each council offers so you can compare it with simply calling us.
Housing stock varies enormously: Victorian and Edwardian terraces on the canals with narrow halls and no off-street parking, 1930s–60s semis in Crumlin, Cabra, Drimnagh and Finglas, the big apartment developments along the Luas lines and in the Docklands, and newer estates on the edges in Fingal and South Dublin. Access is the thing that changes a Dublin job: parking suspensions on the quays, management-company rules in apartment blocks, and the three-storey Georgian house with everything in the attic.

Doing it yourself in Dublin: what the councils offer
Before you ring anyone, here is the honest picture of what Dublin’s four councils will and won’t do for a house clearance. Furniture and bulky items are accepted at Ringsend Recycling Centre, North Strand Recycling Centre, Ballymun Recycling Centre, Coolmine Recycling Centre, Estuary Recycling Centre, Ballymount Civic Amenity and Ballyogan Recycling Park, with mattresses charged separately (Mattresses €35 each on top of the gate fee). Grangegorman Bring Centre, Oscar Traynor Road Bring Centre (Coolock), Gullistan Terrace Bring Centre (Rathmines), Windmill Road Bring Centre (Crumlin), Herzog Park Bring Centre (Rathgar), Kylemore Park North Bring Centre (Ballyfermot), Eamonn Ceannt Park Bring Centre (Crumlin), Eden Park Recycling Centre and Shanganagh Recycling Centre do not accept furniture or mattresses at all. 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. Watch the vehicle rules: Vans and vehicles with a double-axle trailer pay €95; car with single-axle trailer €55. Full large or commercial vans are not accepted. Household use only.
Dublin City Council — runs a bookable bulky household waste collection: Bulky Household Waste Collection Service for all households in the DCC area (domestic only, not commercial premises). Book online via Citizen Hub (citizenhub.dublincity.ie) or phone (01) 222 2222; pay in advance by debit/credit card. €50 per collection for up to 5 items (a three-piece suite counts as 3 items); each additional 5 items +€50. Normally contacted within 5 working days; collection may take up to 10 days after payment, Mon–Fri 8am–3pm, and you cannot choose the date. Items go on the public footpath on the morning of collection (not collected from gardens, sheds or inside). Full refund if cancelled at least 24 hours before the collection date. Accepts household furniture, bedding and mattresses, carpets, kitchen units/worktops/sinks, doors, bathroom and toilet suites, bicycles, ladders, garden furniture and barbecues, fully drained oil tanks/boilers/radiators, children's swings/slides, prams/buggies/large toys. Not accepted: bagged household or bin waste, garden waste, rubble/soil/plasterboard/asbestos, large amounts of renovation waste, glass, gas cylinders, paints and other hazardous waste, batteries, fluorescent tubes, electrical goods.
Fingal County Council — no bulky-waste collection. Fingal County Council does not offer a bulky waste collection service. Use an authorised collector with a National Waste Collection Permit Office (NWCPO) permit – the council publishes a list – or bring items to Coolmine or Estuary recycling centres for the per-vehicle fee.
South Dublin County Council — no bulky-waste collection. No council bulky collection – SDCC exited the waste collection service in 2011 and has no plans to reintroduce it. Residents use permitted private collectors or bring items to Ballymount Civic Amenity. The council runs periodic free community initiatives with social enterprise RecycleIT, e.g. a mattress amnesty (in 2025 mattresses could also be dropped free at RecycleIT, Crag Industrial Estate, D22) and door-to-door WEEE collection days before Halloween.
Dún Laoghaire-Rathdown County Council — no bulky-waste collection. DLR transferred its household waste collection service to private companies in 2010 and offers no bulky-waste kerbside collection. Residents use permitted private collectors or bring items to Ballyogan Recycling Park. Occasional free Mattress Amnesty Days are held at Ballyogan (most recent: Saturday 5 September 2026, 9:30am–5:30pm).

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 house clearance works with us
Send photos. A photo of each room through the quote form or on WhatsApp is enough. For large houses we’ll call out and look.
Agree the job. You get a fixed price, a date and a note of what’s being kept. No surprises on the day.
The clearance. A crew of two or three with a box truck. We load, sort for reuse and recycling on the truck, and sweep through.
Afterwards. Keys handed back as agreed. If you find something later that should have been kept, ring us straight away — we hold loads for a short time.
Quick quote for house clearance in Dublin
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 Dublin
Volume — how many truck loads, which is why photos matter
Access — stairs, a long carry from the road, no parking, a lift or none
Weight — books, tiles, a workshop full of tools cost more to dispose of than a wardrobe
What can be reused — good furniture lowers the disposal cost and we pass that on
Timing — a fixed date on short notice costs more than “any day this week”
We’re based in Athy and run into Dublin daily — city-centre jobs are about 75 minutes from our yard, which is why we schedule Dublin work in rounds rather than one-offs, and why our quotes for Dublin don’t carry a long-distance premium. Send photos through the quote form or on WhatsApp and you’ll have a fixed price the same day.

House Clearance in Dublin: frequently asked questions
How much does a house clearance cost in Dublin?
A single room or a bulky-items-only job usually starts in the low hundreds; a full three-bed house is typically a day’s work for a crew and one truck load; larger houses with full attics and garages are more. The exact figure depends on volume, access and what can be reused, so send photos of each room and you’ll have a fixed price the same day.
Do I have to be there on the day?
No. Plenty of our customers hand over a key or give us the code to a key safe, or an estate agent or neighbour lets us in. We agree what’s being kept in writing before we start and send you photos when we’re done.
Can you keep certain items aside?
Yes. Tag them, put them in one room, or send us a list. That room is off-limits to the crew and we double-check the list before we leave. If you find afterwards that something went that shouldn’t have, call us immediately — loads are held for a short time before they’re sorted.
What happens to the furniture and belongings?
They’re sorted on the truck. Good furniture and household goods are set aside for reuse where possible; recyclable materials are separated; the remainder goes to authorised waste facilities under our collection permit. Nothing is dumped, and you can have the facility details for the load if you want them.
Can you clear a house after a bereavement?
Yes — it’s a large part of what we do. We work at the family’s pace, can liaise with the executor or solicitor on access and timing, and we’re careful with paperwork and personal items. There’s a separate page on bereavement clearance in Dublin with more detail.
Do you clean as well as clear?
We sweep and leave the property broom-clean as standard. A proper end-of-tenancy or pre-sale clean is a separate job — ask when you book and we’ll quote both together.
Which parts of Dublin do you cover?
All of it — every area listed on this page, and the rural addresses in between. If your townland isn’t named, it’s still covered.
Can you clear a house in one day?
Most three- and four-bed houses, yes — one crew, one day, one or two truck loads. Larger houses with full attics, garages and years of contents can run into a second day; we tell you before we start, not after.
Do you charge extra for stairs or awkward access?
Access is part of the quote, not an extra on the day. A fourth-floor walk-up or a long carry down a lane costs more than a bungalow with a driveway, and we price that from your photos so there are no surprises.
What if the house hasn’t been lived in for a while?
We deal with that regularly — damp, mould, a freezer that was switched off, mice in the press. Tell us what you know and we’ll bring what’s needed. Serious pest problems are best treated before we arrive.
How far in advance should I book in Dublin?
A week is comfortable; a few days is usually fine. We run Dublin in rounds, so the earlier we know the more likely we can fit your preferred date.
Can you give a rough price over the phone?
A rough range, yes, if you describe the house. A firm price needs photos — one of each room — and takes us about ten minutes once we have them. We never quote blind and then change it on the day.
Does the council collect bulky items in Dublin?
Dublin City Council does — a bookable collection at €50 for up to five items, with a wait of up to ten days, for furniture and mattresses but not electricals, garden waste or rubble. Fingal, South Dublin and Dún Laoghaire–Rathdown offer no bulky collection at all. Details are in the council section above.
How far is Dublin from your base?
We’re based in Athy and run into Dublin daily — city-centre jobs are about 75 minutes from our yard, which is why we schedule Dublin work in rounds rather than one-offs, and why our quotes for Dublin don’t carry a long-distance premium.
