Storage units fill up with good intentions. The furniture from the old house that was going to be used again. The stock from a business that closed. A parent’s belongings after a clearance, put away until the family could face them. The monthly direct debit keeps going out, and after a couple of years it has cost more than the contents are worth. Then there’s the practical problem: the unit is on the second floor of a facility with one goods lift, a trolley you have to book, and a gate that closes at six.
We clear units in one visit, within the facility’s hours, with our own trolleys and a crew that knows how the lifts work. ManageWaste.ie is operated by Krystal Klean Express Limited, permit NWCPO-25-13287-01. Carlow Town is 20 minutes from our yard — Athy is right on the Kildare–Carlow border — and nowhere in the county is more than about 50 minutes away. Carlow gets our fastest response times and keenest pricing after Kildare itself.

Full storage unit clearance in Carlow
The unit emptied to the walls in one visit — furniture, boxes, appliances, business stock, whatever is in there — loaded onto our truck in the facility’s loading bay and gone. We sort as we load: anything you’ve asked us to keep is set aside; good furniture goes for reuse; boxes you haven’t looked at in years can be opened on the spot if you want to decide, or brought to you to go through. We sign out with the facility and you cancel the unit that day. A standard 50–100 sq ft unit is an hour or two; a large unit or a container is a half-day.
Partial storage unit clearance — downsizing the unit
Sometimes the aim is a smaller unit, not no unit. We take out the bulky furniture and the things you’ve decided against, and you move what’s left to a cheaper size. Or we clear a parent’s unit of everything except the boxes marked “keep” and bring those to you. Partial unit jobs are priced on what comes out.
What we take — and what we don’t
- Furniture, beds, mattresses and household contents
- Boxed belongings — opened and sorted with you if wanted
- Business stock, fittings and archive boxes
- Appliances and electricals (WEEE)
- Containers and lock-ups as well as indoor units
- Working to the facility’s hours, lift bookings and trolley rules
- Sign-out with the facility office
Not included: Items the facility has a lien on (sort that with them first); Hazardous goods stored against the facility’s rules.
Storage Unit Clearance across Co. Carlow: every town we cover
We provide a storage unit clearance in all 26 towns and villages below, and at the rural addresses between them. Carlow is compact: Carlow Town and its surrounds in the north, Tullow and the Slaney valley in the east, Bagenalstown and Leighlinbridge along the Barrow in the middle, and Borris, Myshall and the Blackstairs villages in the south. Carlow County Council provides no household waste collection of any kind. Bulky items go to one site — Powerstown, outside Carlow Town, which charges €210 a tonne with a €15 minimum and €20 per mattress — or to a permitted collector.
Carlow Town’s industrial estates on the Dublin and Kilkenny roads, the IT Carlow area, Tullow and Bagenalstown’s smaller estates, and the agri businesses across the county make up Carlow’s commercial work. We’re twenty minutes away, which keeps one-off business collections cheap.

Doing it yourself in Carlow: what the council offers
Before you ring anyone, here is the honest picture of what Carlow County Council will and won’t do for a storage unit clearance. Furniture and bulky items are accepted at Powerstown Civic Amenity Site, with mattresses charged separately (mattresses €20 each (any size)). Electrical items — fridges, washing machines, TVs, computers — are free to drop at every council site as WEEE, and we take them as part of any job.
Carlow County Council — no bulky-waste collection. Carlow County Council does not provide a household waste or bulky-goods collection. Residents are directed to hire a skip from a private collector or bring bulky waste to Powerstown Civic Amenity Site. Occasional promotional drop-off weeks at Powerstown (furniture, garden items, oversized toys for a flat €5 per vehicle, householders only).
| Council site | Opening hours | For storage unit clearance | Charges |
|---|---|---|---|
| Powerstown Civic Amenity Site Powerstown, Kilkenny Road, Carlow, Co. Carlow, R93 RF22 | Tue–Fri 8:30am–4pm; Sat 8:30am–12:30pm; closed Sun, Mon & Bank Hols. Last vehicle ~20 min before closing. Cash or card. | Takes: general household waste (weighed); mattresses (€20 each); furniture & bulky items (by weight); WEEE (free) | General waste €210/tonne, min €15 (up to 70kg); single black bag €6; mattresses €20 each (any size); WEEE free. Vans: Weighbridge-based; vans/trailers appear admitted at weight rates (no explicit policy published) |
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.

Storage Unit Clearance in Carlow: frequently asked questions
Can you clear a unit without me there?
Yes, if the facility allows it — most do with your written authorisation and a code. We photograph the unit before and after.
Do you know the storage facilities in Carlow?
The main ones, yes — we work in them regularly. Tell us which, and we’ll know the lift, the trolley rules and the hours.
Can you bring some things to me and dispose of the rest?
Yes. Tag or list what you want, and we deliver those and dispose of the rest in the same trip.
What about a unit that belonged to someone who has died?
We do these carefully. The facility will need the executor’s authorisation; after that we clear the unit, set aside anything personal, and bring it to the family.
Can you clear a shipping container or a lock-up?
Yes — containers on yards and lock-ups behind houses are common in Carlow, and the only difference is the access for our truck.
How quickly?
Usually within the week; small units often within a day or two.
Can you take a business’s archive boxes for shredding?
Yes — bagged for confidential shredding through our partner, with a certificate, or archived if you prefer.
The unit has a padlock and I’ve lost the key.
The facility can usually cut it with your authorisation. Arrange that with them first and we do the rest.
Can you clear a unit in another county and bring things to me?
Yes — clearing a unit in Dublin and delivering keepsakes to Carlow, or the reverse, is a normal job for us.
Do you deal with the facility’s paperwork?
We sign in and out and can hand the keys or fob back to the office. Cancelling the account is yours to do.
What if the unit is bigger than I thought?
We tell you before we start the second load, not after. The quote is based on the unit size and your photos; if it’s packed to the ceiling, say so.
Does Carlow County Council collect bulky items?
No. Carlow County Council does not run a bulky-waste collection. Your options are the council recycling centre listed above — with their charges and limits — or a permitted private collector like us.
How far is Carlow from your base?
Carlow Town is 20 minutes from our yard — Athy is right on the Kildare–Carlow border — and nowhere in the county is more than about 50 minutes away. Carlow gets our fastest response times and keenest pricing after Kildare itself.
