Bagster, the Dumpster in a Bag by Waste Management

Real Estate Agent with eXp Realty of California, Inc. CA DRE #01490977

"Bagster Dumpster in a Bag" by Waste Management

 

There’s a service available to homeowners through Waste Management that I just learned about. It works like this.

 

You can buy the Bagster dumpster at a local retailer (e.g., Home Depot, Lowes) or online (e.g., Bagster, Amazon, Home Depot). This is a single use product and not reusable.

 

Bagster dumpster in a bag from Waste ManagementYou can use the bag when you need it – it will hold up to 3300 lbs. of debris and waste (no appliances/electronics, and green/yard waste is not accepted in all areas), about 3 cubic yards.

 

You’ll find other specifications noted where they apply; for example heavy materials like dirt, bricks , concrete and rocks must be placed on the bottom 10”, and you are limited to 1 cubic yard of these heavy materials.

 

The collection is scheduled on the phone or online. The collection service charge is collected at the time of scheduling.

 

Not all areas are being serviced at this time, even though Waste Management provides services there (boo hoo, not in Carlsbad yet but available next door in Oceanside). You can check for service areas by zip code on the Bagster Website as well determine the fees (these vary by location but when I checked in Oceanside the cost was $141.02, with $8 additional if scheduled through an agent, plus taxes, which seems preetty reasonable).

 

This sounds like a great service and is perhaps more convenient and less fuss than having a full size dumpster delivered, depending on the scope of the project.

Bagsters are the best idea since sliced bread and a heckuva lot tougher. Used 'em twice and no complaints. Here via Kathy Streib

Interesting. I note that service in Land Park Sacramento, where I live, costs $179. Quite a bit more than Oceanside. And that's without an agent.

Thanks, Jeff. This is good to know, although we have one day a year when the claw comes, I think. Still, homeowners can't often wait for "the claw."

Hi Sheri Sperry - MCNE®  - well it seems pretty convenient to be, depending on scheduling. I suppose one also needs to check with the HOA if you live in one in case they do not allow this!

Thanks Kristin Johnston - REALTOR® !

Sharon Tara  - That WOULD be the downside if there is a long time between delivery and pick up. Same thing with those ugly...but useful...dumpsters.

This is great information for the consumer, Jeff! We have these here in Charlotte as well and I always tell folks to get their bags on Amazon - they're cheaper there! 

Great public service announcement! Happy Monday!

Ive also seen these around, but haven't used them. Seems like you can get a much larger roll off dumpster for just a little more.

We just used Bull Bag on one of my listings.  Best thing ever.  Constuction debris and seller's trash were hauled away quickly and inexpensively.

My wife has threatened to get one of these for me for Christmas, Jeff Dowler, CRS ... let's just say my garage gets a little "full" at times.  But I do agree with you and my wife that it's a pretty neat service to have available.  

For those that want to get rid of things, that is ...

when I got a new roof last year they used one of  these for my old shingles.  It was just amazing and much less intrusive on our lawn
