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

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. Kilkenny’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. Kilkenny City is about 45 minutes from our yard in Athy, Castlecomer and the north of the county nearer 30, and the south of the county around Mooncoin and Kilmacow roughly 75 minutes. We’re in Kilkenny most weeks.

Full warehouse clearance in Kilkenny
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 Kilkenny
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. Kilkenny: every town we cover
We provide a warehouse clearance in all 46 towns and villages below, and at the rural addresses between them. Kilkenny runs long north to south. The north — Castlecomer, Ballyragget, Urlingford, Freshford — is the closest part of the county to us. The city and its ring (Bennettsbridge, Gowran, Thomastown, Callan) is the busiest. The south — Mooncoin, Mullinavat, Kilmacow, Piltown, Ferrybank — looks to Waterford city for most things, including the recycling centre at Granny. Kilkenny County Council does not run any waste collection; its one council-operated site at Dunmore takes bulky items by weight, and everything else is private.
Kilkenny City’s business parks (Hebron, Loughboy, Purcellsinch) and the retail units in the medieval centre account for most commercial work, with Castlecomer, Thomastown and Callan adding smaller units and a lot of agri and food businesses across the county. City-centre shops on the narrow streets need an early start.

Doing it yourself in Kilkenny: what the council offers
Before you ring anyone, here is the honest picture of what Kilkenny County Council will and won’t do for a warehouse clearance. 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. Panda Civic Amenity Site, Hebron is for household waste only — commercial loads are turned away. Dunmore Recycling and Waste Disposal Centre and Granny Recycling Centre (Grannagh) will weigh in commercial waste at business rates. Watch the vehicle rules: Car loads only — trailer loads not accepted.
Kilkenny County Council — no bulky-waste collection. Kilkenny County Council does not directly provide waste services or a bulky-waste pickup. Households are directed to civic amenity sites (Dunmore, Granny/Grannagh, Panda Hebron, Doheny's Callan Road). Bulky items and furniture accepted at Dunmore by weight (€185/tonne). Periodic free mattress amnesty weeks at Dunmore.

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 warehouse clearance works with us
Site visit. For warehouses we come and look — the weight and the mix decide the price.
Plan. Days, loads, what’s scrapped, what’s reused, what the lease requires. Fixed or capped price.
The clearance. Crew and trucks to match, racking down, streams separated, scrap weighed.
Handover. Unit swept, photographed, scrap credit shown on the invoice.

Warehouse Clearance in Kilkenny: 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 Kilkenny 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 Kilkenny?
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 Kilkenny County Council collect bulky items?
No. Kilkenny 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 Kilkenny from your base?
Kilkenny City is about 45 minutes from our yard in Athy, Castlecomer and the north of the county nearer 30, and the south of the county around Mooncoin and Kilmacow roughly 75 minutes. We’re in Kilkenny most weeks.
