Storage Unit Clearance in Dublin

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. We’re based in Athy and run into Dublin daily — city-centre jobs are about 75 minutes from our yard, which is why we schedule Dublin work in rounds rather than one-offs, and why our quotes for Dublin don’t carry a long-distance premium.

Storage Unit Clearance across Dublin: every area we cover

We provide a storage unit clearance in all 161 areas below, and at the rural addresses between them. Dublin is four local authorities, not one, and that matters more than most people realise when they’re getting rid of things. Dublin City Council runs a bookable bulky-waste collection; Fingal, South Dublin and Dún Laoghaire–Rathdown don’t collect bulky waste at all. Where you live decides what the council will and won’t do for you — so on this page we’ve split the county by council area, named every area we cover, and set out exactly what each council offers so you can compare it with simply calling us.

For businesses, Dublin means the M50 industrial belt — Ballymount, Park West, Baldoyle, Sandyford, Blanchardstown, Airside — plus the city-centre offices and the retail units on every village main street. Loading bays, goods lifts, parking suspensions and estate security are the practical issues, and most of our Dublin commercial work is done early morning or on Saturdays to avoid them.

Doing it yourself in Dublin: what the councils offer

Before you ring anyone, here is the honest picture of what Dublin’s four councils will and won’t do for a storage unit clearance. Furniture and bulky items are accepted at Ringsend Recycling Centre, North Strand Recycling Centre, Ballymun Recycling Centre, Coolmine Recycling Centre, Estuary Recycling Centre, Ballymount Civic Amenity and Ballyogan Recycling Park, with mattresses charged separately (Mattresses €35 each on top of the gate fee). Grangegorman Bring Centre, Oscar Traynor Road Bring Centre (Coolock), Gullistan Terrace Bring Centre (Rathmines), Windmill Road Bring Centre (Crumlin), Herzog Park Bring Centre (Rathgar), Kylemore Park North Bring Centre (Ballyfermot), Eamonn Ceannt Park Bring Centre (Crumlin), Eden Park Recycling Centre and Shanganagh Recycling Centre do not accept furniture or mattresses at all. 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. Watch the vehicle rules: Vans and vehicles with a double-axle trailer pay €95; car with single-axle trailer €55. Full large or commercial vans are not accepted. Household use only.

Dublin City Council — runs a bookable bulky household waste collection: Bulky Household Waste Collection Service for all households in the DCC area (domestic only, not commercial premises). Book online via Citizen Hub (citizenhub.dublincity.ie) or phone (01) 222 2222; pay in advance by debit/credit card. €50 per collection for up to 5 items (a three-piece suite counts as 3 items); each additional 5 items +€50. Normally contacted within 5 working days; collection may take up to 10 days after payment, Mon–Fri 8am–3pm, and you cannot choose the date. Items go on the public footpath on the morning of collection (not collected from gardens, sheds or inside). Full refund if cancelled at least 24 hours before the collection date. Accepts household furniture, bedding and mattresses, carpets, kitchen units/worktops/sinks, doors, bathroom and toilet suites, bicycles, ladders, garden furniture and barbecues, fully drained oil tanks/boilers/radiators, children's swings/slides, prams/buggies/large toys. Not accepted: bagged household or bin waste, garden waste, rubble/soil/plasterboard/asbestos, large amounts of renovation waste, glass, gas cylinders, paints and other hazardous waste, batteries, fluorescent tubes, electrical goods.

Fingal County Council — no bulky-waste collection. Fingal County Council does not offer a bulky waste collection service. Use an authorised collector with a National Waste Collection Permit Office (NWCPO) permit – the council publishes a list – or bring items to Coolmine or Estuary recycling centres for the per-vehicle fee.

South Dublin County Council — no bulky-waste collection. No council bulky collection – SDCC exited the waste collection service in 2011 and has no plans to reintroduce it. Residents use permitted private collectors or bring items to Ballymount Civic Amenity. The council runs periodic free community initiatives with social enterprise RecycleIT, e.g. a mattress amnesty (in 2025 mattresses could also be dropped free at RecycleIT, Crag Industrial Estate, D22) and door-to-door WEEE collection days before Halloween.

Dún Laoghaire-Rathdown County Council — no bulky-waste collection. DLR transferred its household waste collection service to private companies in 2010 and offers no bulky-waste kerbside collection. Residents use permitted private collectors or bring items to Ballyogan Recycling Park. Occasional free Mattress Amnesty Days are held at Ballyogan (most recent: Saturday 5 September 2026, 9:30am–5:30pm).

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.

How a storage unit clearance works with us

1. 
   Unit details. Facility, unit size and floor, access hours, and photos through the door if you have them.
2. 
   Price. Fixed price for the unit, same day.
3. 
   The clearance. Our trolleys, our crew, one visit within the facility’s hours.
4. 
   Cancel the unit. Signed out, unit swept, you stop the direct debit.

What affects the price in Dublin

• 
  Unit size — the quickest measure
• 
  Floor and lift — ground-floor drive-up versus a second-floor goods lift
• 
  Contents — furniture-heavy units weigh more than box-heavy ones
• 
  Reuse — good furniture lowers the cost
• 
  Facility hours — tight windows can mean a second visit

We’re based in Athy and run into Dublin daily — city-centre jobs are about 75 minutes from our yard, which is why we schedule Dublin work in rounds rather than one-offs, and why our quotes for Dublin don’t carry a long-distance premium. Send photos through the quote form or on WhatsApp and you’ll have a fixed price the same day.
