Have you heard about this new thing called The Bagster bag?
I started hearing about it last year, but didn’t get the chance to try it out until now. Bagster gave me a giftcard to use to buy a bag and for the pickup and with all the junk around my house right now, this really came in handy!
The Bagster is great to use if you have a small project with debris you need to get rid of. At $29.95 retail for the bag and flat rate collection fee ranges from $79 to $249 per bag, depending on your area (my area is $99), that’s 50 to 70 percent less than a dumpster rental.
The Bagster got rid of that big pile of wood we ripped out of my house, as well as a few other things that we had sitting around. It was nice to see all of that go. Even though I will still have a lot of junk to remove at the end of my kitchen project, this was a good start to de-junking my new house. Having all of this hauled off just feels good!
The Bagster is sold at most of the home improvement stores, like Home Depot and Lowes, as well as Walmart. The company that picks it up is Waste Management. The bag comes wrapped like this, very small and unassuming.
Then you unfold it and it grows and grows, to about 4’ x 8’ with sides that can be pulled up higher once the bag is filled. It was a very easy process and I’d highly recommend The Bagster bag for your smaller home renovation or home cleanup projects.
We got my friend Debbie’s son, Andrew, to come back over and he and my dad got busy stacking in that old wood. It helped to have 2 people working at it, to make sure every inch was taken advantage of and stacking it straight and flat helped get more in there.
In a short time, the bag was filled. It can hold up to 3,300 lbs. so we didn’t completely max it out, just in case the weight might be an issue.
Those sides can fold up even more to get the maximum benefit.
Here it is all finished and filled and the handles cross over the middle waiting for pickup. We got lots in there, including the old kitchen sink! 
All I had to do is call Waste Management and they came out in just a couple of days and picked it up and hauled it off.
Easy peasy and no hassle at all! I would definitely use this product again for similar projects.
(not my pickup, but an example of how it’s done)
Quick and easy! I really like The Bagster and how it works and would definitely use it again for any smaller projects I have around the home.
Some things to know about The Bagster bag:
- Highly durable, woven bag that can hold up to 3,300 pounds of debris and big enough for full sheets of plywood, doors and even a bathtub (I added a sink!)
- It’s a great choice for any home improvement project, since many times construction debris can’t be picked up in a regular trash can.
- Use the bag for as long as you need it and then call Waste Management to pick up the bag.
- Collection can be scheduled online at www.thebagster.com or by calling 1-877-789-2247, and Waste Management will collect the bag within three business days.
Now for some more great news! Waste Management is giving away $100 giftcard so that ONE of my readers can try out The Bagster bag too! Do you have a project you’re working on and need to have your junk hauled away?

The bagster would come in handy when cleaning out our basement that I’ve been promising to clean!!
We are getting ready to redo our deck! It needs it sooo badly – and my hubby is a renovator, that’s what he does for a living.. so you know what that means – our projects kind of get put on the back burner because he is tired of working and puts off working on his own house! haha! Anyway, I have seen this product and thought it might be useful on our deck project! Thanks for sharing this!
WOWSA! Could *I* use that! Will this apply to me in New York??? What a total blockbuster of savings as opposed to renting a dumpster for several hundred dollars! Super!!
Our son and daughter in law in Omaha, NE are getting ready to redo their deck this fall and this would really help with the clean up of the old deck. Their anniversary is Labor Day weekend and this would make a great gift to them. Thanks for the chance to win!
Gosh, between ripping out our old carpet and renovating our kitchen, I have a feeling that bag will get some good use in the coming months! Thanks for the chance to win!
This would be great for cleaning out my garage and basement. My neighbor used it and it was a easy process.
Well, WHADWILLTHEYTHINKUVNEXT???
I love new inventions and this is cool.
i need this for a kitchen reno!
We’ve used one and loved it!!!!
I would use it for branches, leaves, and other yard waste items.
Cool! Much better than those huge ugly dumpsters. I could use it for cleaning out my garage. Thanks
Wow! That bag is really neat. We’ve got a huge workshop / storage building behind our house that we’re going to clean out and tidy up in a few months when the weather cools off (hopefully). : )
Thanks for the chance . . . . . .
We will be starting a huge bathroom remodel soon and this bag would be downright awesome to use!
Cleaning out our garage…after 20 years of pile- up!
Big garage clean out and kitchen remodel!! Could I ever use this bag!! We have no way to haul items and this would be perfect. Thanks for yet another great idea. Loving the remodel.
We are putting in a new stone path in our back yard. This involved digging out a lot of dirt that is now is big mounds in our bag yard and, of course, killing all the grass. We don’t have any kind of truck to haul it away. A Bagster would do the trick! That would be SO terrific to get this dirt out of here. Should about fill the whole thing up.
What a great idea! I’d use to get rid of old carpet and other stuff as we prepare to redo a bedroom. Also stuff from out attic which desperately needs cleaning. Thank you, Rhoda!
I could certainly use one when we clean out the storage buildings and the garage. Might give some incentive to do so!!!
I’d like to use it when I move and throw all the stuff that I don’t want to take with me.
We’ll be doing major foundation work which will require ripping out the hardwood flooring (and some concrete slab) of our greatroom/kitchen/dining room. A bagster would be great!
