Shed Clearance in Co. Longford

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 Longford 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. 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.

Shed Clearance across Co. Longford: every town we cover

We provide a shed 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 shed clearance. Longford Civic Amenity Site (Mulleadys), Westlink Business Park and Mulleadys Civic Amenity Site, Drumlish (Cloonaugh) won’t take construction waste. Household paint, oil and chemicals are accepted at Longford Civic Amenity Site (Mulleadys), Westlink Business Park and Mulleadys Civic Amenity Site, Drumlish (Cloonaugh), usually for a small charge. 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.

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.

What affects the price in Longford

• 
  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
