Shed Clearance in Co. Carlow
From the six-by-four at the end of a Carlow garden to a stone outbuilding that hasn’t been opened this century. Emptied, sorted, and — if you want — the shed taken away too.

Sheds are the end of the line. If it’s broken, rusty, half-used or “might be handy”, it’s in the shed — along with the mower, the strimmer that needs a part, the paint from three redecorations, the barbecue, the kids’ bikes, and whatever the previous owner left. In Carlow it often means more than one shed, and sometimes a stone outbuilding, a stable or a farm store with a generation of contents.
We empty it, sort it, and take the shed itself if it’s coming down. ManageWaste.ie is operated by Krystal Klean Express Limited, permit NWCPO-25-13287-01. Carlow Town is 20 minutes from our yard — Athy is right on the Kildare–Carlow border — and nowhere in the county is more than about 50 minutes away. Carlow gets our fastest response times and keenest pricing after Kildare itself.

Full shed and outbuilding clearance in Carlow
Everything out: tools and machinery, timber, garden chemicals, pots, furniture that was retired to the shed, bagged waste, the rotten carpet on the floor. Rotten and broken sheds can be dismantled and loaded along with the contents — felt, timber, glass and the concrete blocks it stood on. For outbuildings and farm stores we clear old feed bags, fertiliser containers, wire, scrap metal and machinery parts, and separate the scrap, which can offset the cost. A garden shed is usually an hour or two; a stone outbuilding or a stable block is a day, sometimes two loads because of the weight of metal and timber.
Partial shed clearance in Carlow
Just the mower and the heavy things, just the chemicals and paint, just the broken furniture — or just the shed itself, dismantled and removed with the contents left for you. Partial shed jobs are small, fast and priced that way, and they combine well with a garden waste collection if you’re clearing the garden at the same time.
What we take — and what we don’t
- Lawnmowers, strimmers, garden tools and machinery
- Timber, pallets, old fencing and decking
- Paint, garden chemicals, fuel residues (household quantities)
- Garden furniture, barbecues, pots and planters
- Bikes, toys and the household overflow
- Scrap metal, wire, old gates and machinery parts
- The shed itself — dismantled and removed
- Feed bags, fertiliser containers and farm-store contents
Not included: Asbestos roofing sheets (we can advise on licensed removal); Full fuel containers and gas cylinders; Live animals, obviously.
Shed Clearance across Co. Carlow: every town we cover
We provide a shed clearance in all 26 towns and villages below, and at the rural addresses between them. Carlow is compact: Carlow Town and its surrounds in the north, Tullow and the Slaney valley in the east, Bagenalstown and Leighlinbridge along the Barrow in the middle, and Borris, Myshall and the Blackstairs villages in the south. Carlow County Council provides no household waste collection of any kind. Bulky items go to one site — Powerstown, outside Carlow Town, which charges €210 a tonne with a €15 minimum and €20 per mattress — or to a permitted collector.
Carlow Town has Victorian terraces, 1970s–80s council-built estates and newer developments on the Dublin and Kilkenny roads; Tullow and Bagenalstown are similar on a smaller scale. The rest of the county is farmhouses, dormer bungalows and the odd big country house, often with outbuildings that haven’t been cleared in a generation.

Doing it yourself in Carlow: what the council offers
Before you ring anyone, here is the honest picture of what Carlow County Council will and won’t do for a shed clearance. Clean green waste goes to Powerstown Civic Amenity Site, charged food waste/green waste/timber/flat glass €100/tonne. Timber is taken at Powerstown Civic Amenity Site, usually cheaper than general waste if it’s kept separate. Small amounts of household rubble and plasterboard are accepted at Powerstown Civic Amenity Site. Household paint, oil and chemicals are accepted at Powerstown Civic Amenity Site, usually for a small charge.
Carlow County Council — no bulky-waste collection. Carlow County Council does not provide a household waste or bulky-goods collection. Residents are directed to hire a skip from a private collector or bring bulky waste to Powerstown Civic Amenity Site. Occasional promotional drop-off weeks at Powerstown (furniture, garden items, oversized toys for a flat €5 per vehicle, householders only).

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.

Shed Clearance in Carlow: frequently asked questions
Can you take the shed itself?
Yes. Timber sheds are dismantled and loaded in under an hour; steel and concrete-panel sheds take longer and we quote them separately. We take the base blocks too if you want.
Do you take garden chemicals and old fuel?
Household quantities of garden chemicals, paint and oil, yes — kept separate and disposed of properly. Full petrol cans and gas cylinders we can’t take; we’ll tell you where to bring them.
Can you clear a stable or farm store?
Yes, regularly in Carlow. Scrap metal, machinery parts, feed bags and fertiliser containers are all normal. Tell us roughly how much is there and whether a tractor-sized vehicle can get to it.
Can you clear the garden at the same time?
Yes — shed plus garden waste is a common combination. See the garden waste clearance page for Carlow.
Is there a mouse or rat problem in there?
Tell us and we’ll come prepared. If it’s serious, a pest controller first makes everyone’s day better.
How quickly can you do a shed?
Small sheds can often be done the same week. In Carlow, being so close to our yard, same- or next-day is often possible.
Do you take old lawnmowers and petrol strimmers?
Yes — drained of fuel where possible. If you can’t drain them, tell us and we’ll do it on site.
Can you remove a concrete shed base?
Breaking out and removing a concrete base is a separate job with different equipment. We can quote it or point you to someone who does it daily.
What happens to good tools and garden equipment?
Set aside for reuse where we can arrange it. It reduces your bill and keeps usable things out of the skip.
The shed is full of someone else’s things.
If it’s a tenant’s or a previous owner’s, make sure you’re entitled to clear it first. After that we treat it like any other shed.
Can you clear sheds on farms in Carlow?
Yes — farm stores, stables and outbuildings are a regular Carlow job. Scrap metal and machinery parts are weighed in and credited.
Does Carlow County Council collect bulky items?
No. Carlow County Council does not run a bulky-waste collection. Your options are the council recycling centre listed above — with their charges and limits — or a permitted private collector like us.
How far is Carlow from your base?
Carlow Town is 20 minutes from our yard — Athy is right on the Kildare–Carlow border — and nowhere in the county is more than about 50 minutes away. Carlow gets our fastest response times and keenest pricing after Kildare itself.
