How do I use a Bagster® bag?

The Bagster® bag is perfect for smaller home, business and construction projects that regular garbage collection can’t handle, but that don’t require a full-size dumpster. Projects such as:

  • Basement renovations & cleanouts

  • Attic & garage cleanouts

  • Carpet or furniture removal

  • Yard cleanups

  • Deck removal

  • Bathroom or kitchen renovations

  • Bedroom renovation

To get started with your Bagster® bag, follow these three easy steps:

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

Fill
Simple to set up and strong enough to hold up to 3,300 pounds of debris or waste. It's the right size for renovations, landscaping or home projects that don't require a full-size dumpster. Find instructions on how to set up and fill your Bagster® bag here.

Gone
Schedule a pickup online and it's gone.

To ensure your Bagster® bag can be serviced properly, remember to place it on your property at least 1.4 metres away from any structures or vehicles and clear of any overhead wires, trees, or structures.

The Bagster® truck needs at least 18 feet of vertical clearance to operate. WM will pick up your Bagster® bag using a large truck equipped with an overhead crane that can reach up to 5 yards (two Bagster® bag lengths) from the edge of the street, alley or driveway. The centre of your Bagster® bag must be placed in your yard or driveway no more than 5 yards (two Bagster® bag lengths) from the edge of the street, alley or driveway.
