The Bagster: A Dumpster in a Bag

I got a request to check in to The Bagster and provide any insights into the service.

For those of you not familiar, The Bagster is a waste disposal bag, available at most home improvement stores, for about $29.95. You set up the bag, and then fill it with up to 3,300 pounds of household junk, construction debris, or trash at your own pace. When you are finished and the bag is full, you arrange a pick-up, which costs about $140.

There are some limitations to what you can put into The Bagster - nothing hazardous, and in some cases, yard waste is not acceptable. The Bagster team disposes of the items at a licensed facility. The Bagster website has lots of tips about where to place your Bagster, how to fill it, and what can and cannot be disposed of.

I'd love to hear any first-hand experiences you've had using The Bagster. Leave a comment and let me know what you think of the service. To me, it seems like a convenient and affordable alternative to renting a traditional dumpster for home renovation and clean-up projects.
