Renovating the bathroom, knocking down walls or a complete garden makeover. These are jobs where you'll need one, or perhaps even two, large containers. But what if you've got a small job planned? A big clear-out, some garden maintenance or retiling the toilet? Do you really need to skip hire? A 1m3 Big Bag is the ideal solution.
A Big Bag is really just a very large bag in which waste can be collected and taken away. Our Big Bags are made of recyclable woven plastic and are a bit smaller than the smallest container, at 1m3. A Big Bag can hold around 1500 kilos of waste. There are loops at the top so the collector can lift the Big Bag. Our Big Bags are available for construction waste, soil, bulky waste, rubble, green waste, garden waste, wood and roofing waste.
If you don't have much waste to get rid of, or you have small amounts of lots of different waste types, ordering a Big Bag is a handy option. The smallest container size is 3m3, so you need quite a lot of waste to fill one. By hiring a Big Bag you can get rid of your waste easily, with no trips back and forth to the recycling centre. A Big Bag is also small and easy to handle, so you can work in tight spots where a container won't fit. Have you got lots of different waste types? Then you can simply put several Big Bags side by side. That way you can sort your waste as you go, without taking up much space.
The Big Bag is posted to the address of your choice. On your own property, you can put the Big Bag anywhere. It's wise to think about how it will be collected, though. Place the Big Bag no more than 2 metres from the public road. The public road must be freely accessible and at least 4 metres wide. Good to know: a Big Bag can be lifted over a fence of up to 1 metre high.
A Ordering a Big Bag is easy. Choose the right waste type, fill in your details and pay. Once we've received your order, the Big Bag goes in the post the same (working) day, so it's often delivered to you the very next day! Is the Big Bag full? Fill in the collection form on our website and we'll make sure it's collected within 5 working days.
