Shed Clearance in Co. Kilkenny
From the six-by-four at the end of a Kilkenny 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 Kilkenny 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. Kilkenny City is about 45 minutes from our yard in Athy, Castlecomer and the north of the county nearer 30, and the south of the county around Mooncoin and Kilmacow roughly 75 minutes. We’re in Kilkenny most weeks.

Full shed and outbuilding clearance in Kilkenny
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 Kilkenny
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. Kilkenny: every town we cover
We provide a shed clearance in all 46 towns and villages below, and at the rural addresses between them. Kilkenny runs long north to south. The north — Castlecomer, Ballyragget, Urlingford, Freshford — is the closest part of the county to us. The city and its ring (Bennettsbridge, Gowran, Thomastown, Callan) is the busiest. The south — Mooncoin, Mullinavat, Kilmacow, Piltown, Ferrybank — looks to Waterford city for most things, including the recycling centre at Granny. Kilkenny County Council does not run any waste collection; its one council-operated site at Dunmore takes bulky items by weight, and everything else is private.
Kilkenny City has a lot of older stock — medieval-plan streets, Georgian and Victorian terraces, converted townhouses — where access and parking are the job. Outside the city it’s farmhouses, bungalows on their own sites, and 2000s estate housing in the larger villages. Outbuildings, sheds and the contents of old farm stores come up constantly in Kilkenny clearances.

Doing it yourself in Kilkenny: what the council offers
Before you ring anyone, here is the honest picture of what Kilkenny County Council will and won’t do for a shed clearance. Clean green waste goes to Dunmore Recycling and Waste Disposal Centre and Granny Recycling Centre (Grannagh), charged green waste €2 per bag or €85/tonne. Household paint, oil and chemicals are accepted at Dunmore Recycling and Waste Disposal Centre and Panda Civic Amenity Site, Hebron, usually for a small charge. Watch the vehicle rules: Car loads only — trailer loads not accepted.
Kilkenny County Council — no bulky-waste collection. Kilkenny County Council does not directly provide waste services or a bulky-waste pickup. Households are directed to civic amenity sites (Dunmore, Granny/Grannagh, Panda Hebron, Doheny's Callan Road). Bulky items and furniture accepted at Dunmore by weight (€185/tonne). Periodic free mattress amnesty weeks at Dunmore.

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 Kilkenny: 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 Kilkenny. 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 Kilkenny.
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. We group Kilkenny jobs so a shed can usually be added to a run already scheduled.
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 Kilkenny?
Yes — farm stores, stables and outbuildings are a regular Kilkenny job. Scrap metal and machinery parts are weighed in and credited.
Does Kilkenny County Council collect bulky items?
No. Kilkenny 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 Kilkenny from your base?
Kilkenny City is about 45 minutes from our yard in Athy, Castlecomer and the north of the county nearer 30, and the south of the county around Mooncoin and Kilmacow roughly 75 minutes. We’re in Kilkenny most weeks.
