Dumpster bags, also known as "dumpster in a bag" or "bagsters," are a convenient and flexible solution for waste collection and removal. Learn how to use dumpster bags effectively for efficient waste collection.
Learn about what items can't go into the Bagster and other limitations to consider before purchasing a bag style dumpster.
Find out how much money you can save by renting a traditional roll-off dumpster instead of buying a Bagster or another bag dumpster in many situations.
Which is best: a dumpster bag or roll-off dumpster rental?
If you're only pitching 3 yards or less of smaller household junk, a dumpster bag is a great option.
But 3 yards of capacity fills up fast.
If you're unsure whether or not you'll have more than 3 cubic yards of debris, the safe bet is to rent a dumpster.
How much do dumpster bags cost?
Dumpster bags are inexpensive upfront, costing roughly $30 to purchase, but the cost of pick-up is more costly and can vary quite a bit depending on your location.
For example, Waste Management’s Bagster pick-up costs range from $120-$300, making the total cost to use a Bagster $150-$350, or $50-$117 per cubic yard.
How much can a dumpster bag hold?
A dumpster bag can hold 3 cubic yards on average or 1 cubic yard of heavy debris, like concrete or dirt.
Common dumpster bags measure 8 feet long, 4 feet wide, and 2.5 feet tall. Because the Bagster is only 2 ft 6 in. high, large bulky materials, like furniture, are not going to fit well.
