House Clearance in Co. Longford
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 Longford, 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. Longford is about an hour and three-quarters from our yard in Athy — Ballymahon and Edgeworthstown a little less, Granard, Drumlish and the north of the county a little more. We cover it by combining Longford jobs with Westmeath work on the same day, so ask for a date and we’ll fit you into the next run.

Full house clearance in Longford
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 Longford
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.

House Clearance across Co. Longford: every town we cover
We provide a house clearance in all 32 towns and villages below, and at the rural addresses between them. Longford is small, flat and rural: Longford Town in the middle, Granard in the north, Edgeworthstown on the N4, Ballymahon and Lanesborough on the Shannon side, and dozens of villages between. Longford County Council has no council-run recycling centre at all — both civic amenity sites are operated by Mulleadys, the Longford Town one only opens Wednesdays and Saturdays, prices aren’t published, and there is no bulky-waste collection. Once or twice a year the council runs a Large Goods day at Drumlish at a flat charge per car or trailer.
Longford housing is older than most of Leinster’s: town-centre terraces in Longford Town and Granard, 1970s–80s bungalows on their own sites, farmhouses with full ranges of outbuildings, and a scatter of 2000s estates on the edges of the towns. Sheds, hay barns and the contents of a lifetime of farming come up in almost every Longford clearance.

Doing it yourself in Longford: what the council offers
Before you ring anyone, here is the honest picture of what Longford County Council will and won’t do for a house clearance. Furniture and bulky items are accepted at Longford Civic Amenity Site (Mulleadys), Westlink Business Park and Mulleadys Civic Amenity Site, Drumlish (Cloonaugh). 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: Small domestic and small commercial loads only; large vans and trailer loads should use Drumlish — confirm by phone.
Longford County Council — no bulky-waste collection. Longford County Council does not run a kerbside or bookable bulky-waste collection. Instead it organises periodic Large Goods Collection days (typically one or two a year, Friday or Saturday mornings 10am–1pm) at Mulleadys Civic Amenity Site in Drumlish, sometimes with a second drop-off point in Longford town. At these events the charge is per vehicle, not per item: €20 per car, €30 per car with single-axle trailer, €40 per car with double-axle trailer or large van; tractors and trailers are not admitted. Accepted: beds, mattresses, sofas, furniture, carpets, children's toys, bicycles and household scrap metal. Not accepted: paint, electrical goods, PVC, plastic oil tanks, construction and demolition waste, lead, tiles, ceramics, broken glass. A household hazardous waste collection (per-kilo charge) is sometimes run alongside. No booking is required; dates are announced on longfordcoco.ie and council social media. Year-round, bulky items go to the two Mulleadys civic amenity sites or to a permitted private collector. Furniture in good condition can be donated to the Revamp 3R Store, Longford.

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 Longford
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 Longford
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”
Longford is about an hour and three-quarters from our yard in Athy — Ballymahon and Edgeworthstown a little less, Granard, Drumlish and the north of the county a little more. We cover it by combining Longford jobs with Westmeath work on the same day, so ask for a date and we’ll fit you into the next run. Send photos through the quote form or on WhatsApp and you’ll have a fixed price the same day.

House Clearance in Longford: frequently asked questions
How much does a house clearance cost in Longford?
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 Longford 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 Longford do you cover?
All of it — every town and village 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 Longford?
A week is comfortable; a few days is usually fine. We run Longford 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 Longford County Council collect bulky items?
No. Longford 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 Longford from your base?
Longford is about an hour and three-quarters from our yard in Athy — Ballymahon and Edgeworthstown a little less, Granard, Drumlish and the north of the county a little more. We cover it by combining Longford jobs with Westmeath work on the same day, so ask for a date and we’ll fit you into the next run.
