Container Clearance

Container clearance covers the 20ft and 40ft shipping containers, portable storage containers and site containers that people and businesses rent or buy as extra storage — in yards, on farms, on building sites, at container storage parks and behind business premises across Dublin, Kildare and the rest of Leinster. When the container is no longer needed, or the monthly rental is no longer worth it, we empty it completely so it can be handed back, sold or put to better use.

Containers fill up with the same things as storage units, only heavier: household furniture from a move that never got unpacked, business stock and shop fittings, building materials and tools, machinery parts, tyres, pallets and years of general junk. We bring the crew and the trucks, load everything ourselves, sort at the truck and sweep the container out. You don't need to lift a thing.

Every container clearance is quoted up front from photos — one shot from the doors is usually enough — with a fixed price that covers labour, transport and disposal. Usable items are donated or passed on, recyclables are separated, and only the remainder goes to licensed waste facilities.

Shipping containers used as storage

Buying or renting a shipping container is a cheap way to get a lot of storage — right up until it's full and you need it empty. We clear 10ft, 20ft and 40ft containers in yards, gardens, farmyards and industrial estates across Dublin, Kildare and Leinster. Because containers are deep and dark, the back third is often a mystery even to the owner; we bring lighting and work from the doors inward, sorting as we go.

Site and construction containers

Builders and contractors use containers as site stores, and at the end of a job they're left with offcuts, part-used materials, broken tools, old PPE and general site junk that has to go before the container is collected. We clear site containers quickly, separate timber, metal and plasterboard for recycling, and can work around the hire company's collection date.

Business stock and shop fittings

Retailers and small businesses often keep old stock, seasonal displays, shelving and fixtures in a container behind the premises. When a business closes, moves or finally decides the stock isn't coming back, we clear the lot. Fixtures and furniture in good condition are passed on for reuse; the rest is recycled or disposed of properly.

Household containers and container storage parks

Families moving house, renovating or emigrating frequently rent a container at a storage park and forget about it. Months of rental later, the cheapest thing to do is empty it. We meet you at the park or arrange access with the operator, empty and sweep the container and deliver anything you want to keep.
