Container Clearance

Shipping containers, self-storage containers and site containers emptied of furniture, stock, tools and junk — so you can return, sell or reuse them.

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.

What's included in a container clearance?

  • Complete emptying of shipping, storage and site containers of any size
  • Removal of furniture, white goods, stock, fittings, tools, materials, pallets and general junk
  • Heavy lifting and dismantling of large or awkward items
  • Sorting for reuse, recycling and responsible disposal
  • Delivery of items you want to keep to your home or business in the same run
  • Sweeping out so the container is ready to return, sell or reuse

Who this service is for

  • Anyone paying monthly for a storage container they no longer use
  • Businesses closing, relocating or clearing old stock and fittings
  • Builders and tradespeople returning a site container at the end of a job
  • Farmers and rural property owners with a container full of years of storage
  • Executors clearing a container rented by a relative
  • Container storage parks and landlords dealing with abandoned containers

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. See also our storage unit clearance page for indoor self-storage units.

Just cleared out my family home, very professional, and even left out any photos they had found which was so kind of them. Cleared house, attic and three sheds, arrived on time, and very compassionate as it's upsetting clearing your house you grew up in. Would highly recommend this clearance company & also great value, thanks lads 👍

A brilliant service. Fast, efficient, clean and most of all friendly. Also the team were cognisant of the fact that there were bereavements in our family and showed great respect and empathy. They took the stress out of what seemed like an insurmountable job.
Thank you from the Corrigan family.
Would recommend this service to anyone staring bewildered at a house/shed/business wondering how they are going to clear this.

We got Ciprian in to do a bereavement house clearance and I couldn't recommend him higher. They made what was really a difficult experience for us so much easier and Ciprian was a gentleman throughout and very understanding of what we were going through. Also it was very refreshing these days to see someone operating his business in a very transparent and honest way and the job they did was top class and left the house spotless afterwards.

Container Clearance — frequently asked questions

Can you clear a 40ft container in one visit?
Usually, yes. A full 40ft container may need two trucks or two runs, which we'll plan for in the quote.
Do you clear containers at storage parks and container yards?
Yes. We work within the yard's access hours and rules, and can co-ordinate with the operator for you.
Can you deliver the things I want to keep?
Yes — tell us what to set aside and we'll drop it to your home or premises in the same run.
Do you take business stock, shop fittings and pallets?
Yes. Stock, fixtures, racking, pallets and packaging are all removed. Good fittings and furniture are passed on for reuse where possible.
Do you remove the container itself?
No — we clear the contents. Container removal or sale is arranged with your container supplier or yard, and an empty, swept container is much easier to hand back or sell.
Can you clear a container on a farm or rural site?
Yes. Rural sites, farms and yards across Kildare, Laois, Carlow, Kilkenny and Wicklow are all covered.
How much does a container clearance cost?
It depends on the container size, how full it is and what's inside. Send photos on WhatsApp for a fixed, no-obligation price.
How quickly can you clear a container?
Usually within a few days of booking. Send photos and the container size and we'll confirm the earliest date.
Do you take tyres, paint and batteries from containers?
Yes, in normal quantities — let us know in advance so we can dispose of them correctly.
Do you clear containers used by clubs, schools or community groups?
Yes. Sports clubs, schools and community organisations often use containers for equipment storage, and we clear them too.
