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. 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 storage unit clearance in Westmeath
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. Westmeath: every town we cover
We provide a storage unit 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’s Lough Sheever and Clonmore parks, Athlone’s Monksland, Blyry and Garrycastle estates, the IDA sites and the retail along both main streets make up the commercial side, with agri and food businesses throughout. We plan Westmeath commercial work as full days.

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 storage unit clearance. Furniture and bulky items are accepted at Mullingar Recycling Centre (Civic Amenity Site) and Athlone Recycling Centre (Civic Amenity Site), Golden Island, with mattresses charged separately (mattresses €10 single / €18 double (council amnesty announcements)). 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.
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.

Storage Unit Clearance in Westmeath: 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 Westmeath?
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 Westmeath, 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 Westmeath, 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 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.
