We’re Declan & Finn Hanrahan. Two vans, one trailer, a tail-lift, and twenty years of knowing where every licensed tip in Munster is. We turn up when we say we’ll turn up. We give you a proper disposal receipt when we’re done. We donate anything reusable to Saoirse, Irish Guide Dogs, or SVP and show you the drop-off docket.
If it’s in the way — a dead car on the drive, a shed full of junk, a deceased parent’s flat that needs clearing before Monday — ring the van. We quote on-site for free, we work cash or card, and we don’t fly-tip.
061 555 0284 landline, or 087 555 0284 for a photo-based WhatsApp quote. Tell us what it is, where it is, and when you want it gone.
Declan or Finn drive out, walk the job, and give you a fixed price in writing. No “from” numbers. No obligation. No hard sell.
We book a 2-hour window. You don’t need to be there — leave a key with a neighbour, we’ll photograph the job before & after.
Licensed disposal docket emailed the same evening. Weight, facility, date, tip voucher number. SVP receipt if anything went to charity.
Declan did twenty years with Big Red Skips before going solo in 2021. Finn finished school in 2023 and came straight into the yard — he does the driving for anything outside the city now. A seasonal helper joins us May to September when everyone suddenly wants their patio washed.
When you phone, you’re talking to one of us. When the van arrives, one of us is driving it. That’s the whole operation. We don’t subcontract. We don’t sell your job to “a lad we know.” The quote you get is the price you pay.
Our base is behind the railway line on Hyde Road, five minutes from Colbert Station. Come over if you want to drop something off — we sort reusables for SVP every Friday and you’ll save yourself a trip to the civic amenity.

Yes. Fridges and freezers are €25 each — there’s a compressor-oil handling fee built into the WEEE facility in Raheen. Mattresses are €18 each, no exceptions, single or double. If you’re doing a full-house clearance these are included in the house-clearance price, not extra.
Yes. Single-item pickups are €65 inside Limerick city (one man, one van). Two-man pickup if it’s coming from upstairs is €95. If it’s reusable we’ll offer to donate it to SVP on your behalf and issue you the donation docket.
You get a tip voucher. Every single job. It shows the facility name, the weight, the date, and the weighbridge ticket number. If we’re on your RTB paperwork, your insurance claim, or a commercial lease handback, the voucher is what you show them.
Our waste permit WCP-2021-00472 is on the public register at Limerick City & County Council. If anyone — a landlord, a solicitor, a buyer’s surveyor — wants to verify us, ring 061 557 200 and ask. That’s why we’re listed.
No. Probably half the jobs we do, the owner isn’t on-site. Leave a key with a neighbour, a solicitor, a letting agent, or in a key-safe. We photograph the job before we start and after we finish, and you get the photos by WhatsApp or email the same evening. Cash payment on the day or bank transfer — your call.
All of them. Cash, debit, credit, Revolut, bank transfer. We carry a SumUp card reader. You get a VAT-inclusive receipt every time, no exceptions. For commercial and landlord jobs we invoice with 14-day terms if you prefer. The one thing we don’t do is “price agreed on the day, mate” — the quote is written and fixed before we start.
