Bagster Vs. Dumpster

greg24k

Have anyone tried using a Bag for the garbage and Bagster service instead of the dumpster on the job. The Bagster Service is not available in my area yet, but maybe some of you have it near you.

Any thoughts? Take the link Fot Bagster Service to get more information.

Here's how they getya. Now you are paying a 3 yard fee for 1 yard of haul.

I was looking at the dumpster haul limits and they are much lower than the bagster before they start to charge you $85/ton on top of their normal fee.

A 10 yrd dumpster has a 3000lb limit before they tack on the extra tonnage fees.

I like the bags for small jobs, for under $130 you can put it anywhere the truck can make pickup, there is no rental so you can leave the bag as long as you want.
I bought 12 bags, 6 - 2 yard and 6 -3 yard for $15 a bag. $70 for pickup and its very handy on small jobs.
They are a pain to fill up when your bag is empty.
For city work, 2 or 3 bags where you cant fir a rolloff works, and no street permit if you put it on the boulevard.
They have their place-------

sometimes you can get a 50% off dumping/pickup coupon. I've had 2 coupons

Like all containers it's best to pack your bagster. Unlike steel container the bags tend to fall over on themselves, so just build corners out of your junk to hold up the bags and fill the middle. I've used them on 6 different jobs/projects, 4 bathrooms total guts, a small kitchen and to empty my garage. Couldn't be more happy.
So along as the truck used for pick-ups can get to the bagster you're in business. ( just remember about the electrical wires above and the antique cars)

The rolloffs are competing for biz here. $180. complete for a 15 yard. Thats everything, weight included.

The bags are handy for small jobs, I re-plank a lot of decks and they are great for getting rid of the old decking (unless my firewood pile is getting low), about $130 for the 3 yard bag and pickup. By comparison, a 10 yard container is pushing $400.

They are not in my area, but I heard about them on Lawncafe last winter.
I picked up one of the bagsters last time I was up in Massachusetts on my annual vacation.
I haven't used it yet, but I just had to have it.

I would love to get my hands on a coupon or two, where do you find them?

Somebody not far from me has had a bag sitting at the end of their driveway for over 2 months now. It is full and I wonder who's fault the hold up is in picking it up.

Tell me you aren't burning old pressure treated in your house
