Shed Clearance in Co. Louth
From the six-by-four at the end of a Louth 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 Louth 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. Louth is the furthest county we cover — Drogheda is about an hour and a half from Athy, Ardee and Dunleer a little more, and Dundalk and the Cooley peninsula around two hours. We run Louth jobs in batches, usually one or two days a fortnight, so we can keep the price fair; the trade-off is that we’ll offer you a date rather than a same-week slot.

Full shed and outbuilding clearance in Louth
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 Louth
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. Louth: every town we cover
We provide a shed clearance in all 29 towns and villages below, and at the rural addresses between them. Louth is Ireland’s smallest county but it has two of its biggest towns: Drogheda in the south, straddling the Boyne, and Dundalk in the north under the Cooley mountains, with Ardee, Dunleer and the Castlebellingham villages between them and a run of coastal villages from Baltray up to Carlingford and Omeath. Louth County Council does not collect bulky waste. Its two civic amenity centres at Dundalk and Drogheda (both run by V&W Recycling) charge a €4 entry plus item charges that aren’t published online, and the annual mattress-and-couch amnesty in early September is the only free route for furniture.
Drogheda and Dundalk both have Victorian town-centre terraces, 1950s–70s council-built estates and large 2000s developments on the edges, plus apartment schemes near the stations and the quays. Ardee, Dunleer and the villages are smaller-scale, with farmhouses and bungalows on their own sites across mid-Louth and the Cooley peninsula. Town-centre parking in Drogheda and Dundalk is the main access issue.

Doing it yourself in Louth: what the council offers
Before you ring anyone, here is the honest picture of what Louth County Council will and won’t do for a shed clearance. Clean green waste goes to Dundalk Recycling Centre (V&W Civic Amenity Centre) and Drogheda Recycling Centre (V&W Civic Amenity Centre), charged per bag or by weight. Dundalk Recycling Centre (V&W Civic Amenity Centre) and Drogheda Recycling Centre (V&W Civic Amenity Centre) won’t take construction waste. Household paint, oil and chemicals are accepted at Dundalk Recycling Centre (V&W Civic Amenity Centre), usually for a small charge. Watch the vehicle rules: Cars and car trailers admitted (trailer charge applies for green waste); no commercial vehicles or commercial waste. Van policy not published - ring ahead.
Louth County Council — no bulky-waste collection. Louth County Council does not collect household waste or bulky items and has no bookable bulky-waste service. It directs residents to the two civic amenity centres in Dundalk and Drogheda, both run by V&W Recycling, where beds, couches, carpet/lino, children's toys and bags of non-recyclable domestic waste are accepted for a charge (ring 042 9329200 or 041 9803900 for the price list - V&W do not publish bulky prices online), or to the nine authorised bulky-waste / skip operators the council lists (e.g. Pronto Waste Clearance & Recycling 087 2912911, Skips on Wheels 083 1552410). Once a year, under the Anti-Dumping Initiative, the council runs a free Mattress & Couch Amnesty, normally over two days in early September: in 2025 it was Wed 3 September 9:30am–5:30pm at the V&W centres in Dundalk and Drogheda and Thu 4 September 9:30am–3:30pm at Kieran & McGee Livestock Sales Yard, Ardee (A92 VP92); in 2024 it was 11–12 September at the same three locations. Only mattresses, sofas and armchairs are taken, maximum 3 items per vehicle, the council covers the disposal cost but the normal €4 entry charge still applies at Dundalk and Drogheda (Ardee is free). The 2025 event took in 2,233 mattresses and 2,124 couches. Dates are announced on louthcoco.ie and in the Dundalk Democrat / Drogheda Independent in August.

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 Louth: 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 Louth. 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 Louth.
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 Louth 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 Louth?
Yes — farm stores, stables and outbuildings are a regular Louth job. Scrap metal and machinery parts are weighed in and credited.
Does Louth County Council collect bulky items?
No. Louth 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 Louth from your base?
Louth is the furthest county we cover — Drogheda is about an hour and a half from Athy, Ardee and Dunleer a little more, and Dundalk and the Cooley peninsula around two hours. We run Louth jobs in batches, usually one or two days a fortnight, so we can keep the price fair; the trade-off is that we’ll offer you a date rather than a same-week slot.
