Shed Clearance in Co. Westmeath
From the six-by-four at the end of a Westmeath 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 Westmeath 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. Kinnegad and Kilbeggan are about an hour from Athy, Mullingar roughly 70 minutes, Moate and Athlone about an hour and a half, and Castlepollard and the lake country in the north nearer an hour and three-quarters. We group Westmeath jobs by side of the county — Mullingar and the east one day, Athlone and the west another.

Full shed and outbuilding clearance in Westmeath
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 Westmeath
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. Westmeath: every town we cover
We provide a shed clearance in all 38 towns and villages below, and at the rural addresses between them. Westmeath is two towns and the lakes between: Mullingar in the east with the N4 villages (Kinnegad, Killucan, Rochfortbridge, Castlepollard, Delvin) and Athlone on the Shannon in the west with Moate, Kilbeggan and the Glassan–Ballykeeran lake villages. Westmeath County Council runs no bulky-waste collection. Its two recycling centres — Mullingar (run by Mulleadys) and Athlone (Barna) — are household-use only, charge by vehicle type plus items, and the council’s fee sheet isn’t readable online, so most people ring first. Free mattress and bulky-goods amnesty days run periodically but need pre-registration.
Mullingar and Athlone both have Georgian and Victorian town centres, 1970s–90s estates and large 2000s developments plus apartment schemes near the stations and Athlone’s riverside. The lake country around Lough Owel, Lough Ennell and Lough Ree has big detached houses on their own sites; the rest is farmhouses, bungalows and villages. Athlone town-centre parking is the main access issue.

Doing it yourself in Westmeath: what the council offers
Before you ring anyone, here is the honest picture of what Westmeath County Council will and won’t do for a shed clearance. Clean green waste goes to Mullingar Recycling Centre (Civic Amenity Site) and Athlone Recycling Centre (Civic Amenity Site), Golden Island, charged per bag or by weight. Timber is taken at Mullingar Recycling Centre (Civic Amenity Site) and Athlone Recycling Centre (Civic Amenity Site), Golden Island, usually cheaper than general waste if it’s kept separate. Household paint, oil and chemicals are accepted at Mullingar Recycling Centre (Civic Amenity Site) and Athlone Recycling Centre (Civic Amenity Site), Golden Island, usually for a small charge.
Westmeath County Council — no bulky-waste collection. Westmeath County Council does not provide a household bulky-waste collection or a council bin service. Bulky items are taken to the two council recycling centres (Mullingar and Athlone) or collected by a permitted private collector. The council runs periodic free amnesty days at the two centres in partnership with the site operators: Mattress Amnesty Days (e.g. Nov 2023, Aug 2020 — up to 3 mattresses free per registered Westmeath household, extra mattresses €10 single / €18 double, clean and dry only) and a Bulky Goods Amnesty Day (e.g. Sat 14 Dec 2024, 10am–4pm, Mullingar Recycling Centre). Amnesty days are for domestic householders only and require pre-registration online with a Westmeath Eircode, vehicle registration and mobile number — no registration, no access. Register at mulleadys.com/booking (Mullingar) or barnarecycling.com/booking (Athlone).

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 Westmeath: 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 Westmeath. 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 Westmeath.
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 Westmeath 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 Westmeath?
Yes — farm stores, stables and outbuildings are a regular Westmeath job. Scrap metal and machinery parts are weighed in and credited.
Does Westmeath County Council collect bulky items?
No. Westmeath 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 Westmeath from your base?
Kinnegad and Kilbeggan are about an hour from Athy, Mullingar roughly 70 minutes, Moate and Athlone about an hour and a half, and Castlepollard and the lake country in the north nearer an hour and three-quarters. We group Westmeath jobs by side of the county — Mullingar and the east one day, Athlone and the west another.
