Local authorities’ bulky waste amnesties, community Freecycle, or charity pickups if furniture is in good nick.

Drop it to the civic amenity/recycling centre, request a council bulky goods collection, or book an amnesty day slot if one is running.

Donate to charity or give away online; council recycling centres and amnesty days often take bulky household furniture for free.

For full contents, €1,200–€1,700 within Ireland, higher for big houses or long distances.

Late spring or early autumn—good weather, better rates and less competition than summer.

About €60+/hour for a van/driver; whole house €1,000–€2,000 depending on size/service.

Depends on volume and origin: from UK, a van-load start at €1,000; within Ireland, €350–€1,000 for a few items.

At least 2–4 weeks out, longer if it’s school holidays or at month-end.

A deposit is normal on booking, then pay the rest after or on moving day.

Sundays and midweek (Wed/Thurs) are usually cheapest—avoid Fridays, weekends or month-ends.
