Junk & Rubbish Removal in Navan

Trucks are quoted in fractions (minimum, 1/4, 1/2, 3/4, full) of a box bed that typically holds 10-15 cubic yards / 8-12 cubic metres. Crews eyeball your pile against the truck. To avoid disputes, ask what the truck's full capacity is and get the quoted fraction written on the job sheet before loading starts.

Sell or give away anything usable first (collection-from-home marketplaces shrink piles fast), consolidate everything into one accessible spot at ground level, break down furniture flat, and keep rubble separate from light junk. Getting the pile to the curb or driveway can knock a meaningful amount off, since indoor carry time is what crews price in.

Send photos of the pile with something for scale, list large items individually, and mention access (floor, stairs, distance to parking). Volume-based quotes from photos are usually accurate within one price band; on-site quotes are worth it for whole-house clearances. Always confirm whether the quote includes labour, disposal fees and tax.

Most junk removal firms take e-waste but route it to certified recyclers, sometimes for a small per-item fee. Free alternatives exist almost everywhere: retailer take-back schemes when buying replacements, manufacturer programs, and council/municipal e-waste drop-off points. Wipe or remove drives from computers and phones before handing anything over.

Standard refusals: hazardous waste (chemicals, solvents, fuel, wet paint), asbestos, gas bottles, batteries in quantity, medical waste and tyres in some markets. These need licensed specialist disposal. Fridges, mattresses, TVs and monitors are usually accepted but carry per-item surcharges because of recycling requirements.

Typical van-based clearances run: single item €40-€90, small load €80-€180, half van €150-€320, full van €250-€550. Full house clearances land around €400-€1,500 depending on volume. Dublin prices sit at the top of each band.

Yes — every legal collector holds an NWCPO waste collection permit, and the register is searchable online. Ask for the permit number before booking; if your waste ends up fly-tipped by an unpermitted collector, the enforcement trail can lead back to you.
