Shed Clearance in Dublin

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 Dublin that usually means a timber garden shed with a long carry up the side passage to the road.

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. 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.

Shed Clearance across Dublin: every area we cover

We provide a shed 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 shed clearance. Clean green waste goes to Ringsend Recycling Centre, North Strand Recycling Centre, Ballymun Recycling Centre and Grangegorman Bring Centre and others, charged Green waste €2 per 80L bag or €16 per 1m3 skip bag. Timber is taken at Ringsend Recycling Centre, North Strand Recycling Centre and Ballymun Recycling Centre, usually cheaper than general waste if it’s kept separate. Small amounts of household rubble and plasterboard are accepted at Ringsend Recycling Centre, North Strand Recycling Centre and Ballymun Recycling Centre. Grangegorman Bring Centre, Oscar Traynor Road Bring Centre (Coolock) and Gullistan Terrace Bring Centre (Rathmines) won’t take construction waste. Household paint, oil and chemicals are accepted at Ringsend Recycling Centre, North Strand Recycling Centre and Ballymun Recycling Centre, usually for a small charge. 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 shed clearance works with us

1. 
   Photos. Inside and outside the shed, plus the route to the road. Tell us if the shed is coming down too.
2. 
   Fixed price. Contents, shed and any scrap credit shown separately.
3. 
   The clearance. Emptied and sorted, shed dismantled if agreed, scrap kept apart.
4. 
   Finished. Base swept, garden route left as we found it.

What affects the price in Dublin

• 
  Carry distance — the side passage to the road is the Dublin issue; the yard-to-truck run is the rural one
• 
  Weight — timber, metal and machinery
• 
  Hazardous liquids — priced per item
• 
  Dismantling the shed — timber sheds are quick, concrete-panel and steel sheds take longer
• 
  Scrap — metal and machinery can bring the price down

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.
