Warehouse Clearance in Co. Carlow
Industrial units, workshops and warehouses emptied — racking, pallets, stock, machinery and the stuff that accumulates at the back. Scrap credited, loads sorted, across Carlow.

Warehouses are cleared for the same reasons as houses — a lease ends, a business closes or moves, a unit is sold — but the scale is different and so is the weight. Steel racking by the tonne, timber pallets by the hundred, stock that can’t be sold, machinery that can’t be moved, packaging, offcuts and the layer of general waste that settles at the back of any unit over ten years. Carlow’s business parks and the older industrial estates on the edges of its towns are familiar ground for us.
We clear with a crew sized to the unit, sort metal, timber, cardboard and WEEE for recycling and scrap credit, and take the general waste under our permit. ManageWaste.ie is operated by Krystal Klean Express Limited, permit NWCPO-25-13287-01, insured for industrial premises. 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 warehouse clearance in Carlow
The unit emptied to the lease standard: racking dismantled and removed, pallets and packaging cleared, dead stock loaded, machinery and plant removed where it can be moved by hand or pallet truck, the office and welfare rooms cleared, the yard tidied. Steel racking and scrap metal are weighed in and credited against the job. Timber goes as a separate stream because it’s cheaper to dispose of clean. Cardboard is baled or bagged for recycling. We work with the landlord’s dilapidations schedule in front of us so what’s left is what the lease says should be left. A small unit is a day; a large warehouse is several days and a sequence of loads.
Partial warehouse clearance in Carlow
Clearing a bay to make room for new racking; getting rid of dead stock before stocktake; removing the old machinery; collecting the pallet mountain. We do single-stream collections — just the metal, just the timber, just the WEEE — priced for what they are. Where it recurs, we set up a standing collection.
What we take — and what we don’t
- Pallet racking and shelving — dismantled and scrapped or reused
- Pallets, crates and timber packaging
- Written-off and dead stock
- Machinery and plant that can be moved without a crane
- Cardboard, plastic wrap and packaging in bulk
- Office and welfare room contents
- Yard clearance — skips of accumulated rubbish, scrap, old fencing
- WEEE — IT, lighting, electrical plant
Not included: Hazardous and chemical waste (licensed handlers only — we can arrange); Craned machinery removal (we can arrange); Asbestos.
Warehouse Clearance across Co. Carlow: every town we cover
We provide a warehouse 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 warehouse clearance. Timber is taken at Powerstown Civic Amenity Site, usually cheaper than general waste if it’s kept separate. Small amounts of household rubble and plasterboard are accepted at Powerstown Civic Amenity Site. 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. Powerstown Civic Amenity Site is for household waste only — commercial loads are turned away.
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 warehouse 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); WEEE (free); timber; plasterboard; rubble Won’t take: commercial waste at household rates | food waste/green waste/timber/flat glass €100/tonne; WEEE free.; General waste €210/tonne, min €15 (up to 70kg); single black bag €6; plasterboard €150/tonne; rubble €60/tonne 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.

Warehouse Clearance in Carlow: frequently asked questions
Do you credit scrap metal?
Yes. Racking, steel and other metal is weighed in and credited against the clearance. On a racked-out unit it can cover a meaningful part of the cost.
Can you dismantle pallet racking?
Yes, safely and in order. Tell us the bays and height and we’ll size the crew.
What about machinery?
Anything that moves by hand or pallet truck, we take. Heavier plant we arrange with a crane or specialist mover.
Can you meet the landlord’s dilapidations schedule?
Yes — send it to us and we clear to it, photographing the unit at the end for both sides.
Do you work weekends?
Yes, and for busy estates it’s often easier — fewer trucks about, more room at the shutter.
Which industrial areas of Carlow do you cover?
All of them — every business park and estate around the towns on this page.
Do you need a forklift on site?
It helps and we’ll use yours if it’s available and we’re authorised. Otherwise we bring pallet trucks and size the crew to suit.
Can you take the mezzanine floor?
Mezzanine dismantling is structural work — we can arrange it with a specialist and clear what comes down.
What about dead stock that has to be destroyed?
We can arrange witnessed destruction with a certificate where a brand or an insurer requires it.
Can you clear the yard as well as the unit?
Yes — skips of accumulated rubbish, scrap, old fencing, pallets and weeds. Yard clearances are often half the job.
Do you work on industrial estates across Carlow?
All of them. Estate security, gate hours and shared yards are normal for us; tell us the estate and we’ll plan the access.
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.
