TIPS FOR FILLING THE BAGSTER BAG

LIFTING STRAPS

Before filling, make sure the yellow lifting straps are outside the Bagster bag.

WEIGHT RESTRICTION FOR HEAVY MATERIALS

One cubic yard of heavy materials, such as dirt, brick, rock, sod, concrete, sand, asphalt, plaster, stucco, etc., should be placed in the bottom of the Bagster bag. Contractors using the Bagster to remove debris may put lighter debris in with your heavy or construction debris up to the top edge of the dumpster bag for complete use of your small, medium, or large-sized construction debris removal needs.

SETTING UP YOUR BAGSTER

Before filling, unfold your Bagster bag. Stand inside it and starting in one corner of the Bagster bag, fold the sides out and down. This makes the Bagster bag more rigid. Then roll the sides back up as you fill the Bagster with debris from your construction job.

BAGSTER SAFETY TIPS

You can fill your Bagster bag with debris or waste up to the top. For collection, the yellow lifting straps must be able to connect above the Bagster bag. (Additional fees may apply if your scheduled collection cannot be performed due to overloading.)

WHAT TO DO IF YOUR BAGSTER TEARS

Yes, you can continue to use your Bagster bag even if it has been punctured by a sharp object! Your Bagster dumpster bag won't continue to tear if you've removed the sharp object that has caused the puncture, tear, or rupture in the bag. Check if the sharp object will cause further damage to the dumpster bag and remove or reposition it if possible. Continue your project safely!

IS THE BAGSTER REUSABLE?

For safety reasons, the Bagster bag is a single-use product and CANNOT be used more than one time. Your Bagster bag will NOT be returned after it has been collected. Your Bagster bag and all of its contents will be disposed of at the time of collection.

BAGSTER PICKUP RULES

Curious how the Bagster process works? WM will collect your Bagster bag with a large truck mounted with an overhead crane that can reach up to 16 ft (two Bagster bag lengths) from the edge of the street, alley, or driveway.

PLACEMENT RULES

Your Bagster bag must be at least 5 ft from any structures, fences, trees, vehicles, or other objects that may obstruct collection or be damaged during collection.

Your Bagster bag must not be placed under any wires, trees, or overhead structures that may obstruct collection or be damaged during collection. The Bagster bag truck needs at least 18 ft of vertical clearance to operate.

Your Bagster dumpster bag must be placed on your property or contracted site requiring only construction debris removal – not on public sidewalks, streets, or other public property.

The crane on our collection vehicles can reach over a 5 ft fence (no privacy fences). The fence must be within 5 ft of the street, alley, or driveway and have a gate for access.

KEEPING THE COLLECTION TRUCK ON THE STREET

DRIVING THE COLLECTION TRUCK ONTO YOUR DRIVEWAY

A signed damage waiver is required. If you require the truck to drive onto your driveway for collection, you must sign the electronic damage waiver during the scheduling collection process. Your driveway must be at least 12 ft wide to accommodate the collection truck. The center of the Bagster bag must be placed on your property no farther than 16 ft (two Bagster bag lengths) from any point on your driveway. To view and print the damage waiver, choose United States or Canada.
