How does the Bagster bag work?

  1. BUY. Buy it, store it, use it when you need it. It's compact, always on hand and ready to use when you are. Find a retailer near you.

  2. FILL. Simple to set up and strong enough to hold up to 3,300 lb of debris or waste. It's the right size for renovations, landscaping or home projects that don't require a full-size dumpster.

    See step-by-step instructions for setting up and filling your Bagster® bag.

How do I set up my Bagster bag?

Setting up your Bagster bag is simple. Lay the bag flat in a convenient location according to the placement instructions, with the yellow straps on the outside. Next, step inside the bag, and beginning in one corner, fold the sides down and out from the top to give the bag its initial shape. This unique, self-steadying feature makes setup quick and easy. Since the Bagster bag has flexible sides, it's easier to fill than a traditional, hard-sided dumpster. With the sides folded down, larger, flat items, or heavier debris should be placed in first, as evenly as possible. Continue loading, and roll the sides up as the bag fills.

How do the sides of my Bagster bag stay up?

By folding the sides of the Bagster bag down before you begin filling, you are enabling the unique, self-steadying feature that helps the sides stay up. It also makes setup quick and easy. And because the Bagster bag is made of flexible material, it will conform to the shape of your load, wrapping itself tightly around odd shaped objects at collection time.

Where can I place my Bagster bag?
