What are Dumpster Rental Bags?

Dumpster rental bags are not actually dumpsters at all. They are an alternative to standard roll off dumpster. Dumpster rental bags are made out of a heavy-duty woven polypropylene. This material is durable, strong, and waterproof which is a necessity since dumpster bags need to be able to handle the wear and tear of heavy waste. Dumpster rental bags are picked up by dumpster rental companies the same way they pickup dumpsters.

Where Can You Get Dumpster Rental Bags?

You can find some dumpster bags at big box stores. Additionally, you may find that some dumpster rental companies have dumpster bags available locally for pickup or drop off at your location.

How Much Material Will Fit Inside of a Dumpster Rental Bag?

One of the main pitfalls of dumpster rental bags is they are only designed to handle about 3 cubic yards of material.

3 cubic yards is equal to: 3 yards wide, 3 yard deep, and 3 yards tall.

While this may sound like an adequate amount for some projects, it’s incredibly easy to underestimate the size of dumpster you need for projects.

How Much Weight Does a Dumpster Bag Hold?

Most dumpster rental bags are rated to hold about 3000 to 3300 lbs. It’s important to not overload your dumpster rental bags to ensure the dumpster rental bag does not fail. Additionally, you want to make sure you’re able to avoid additional fees.

Can Dumpster Rental Bags Be Reused?

Unfortunately, dumpster rental bags cannot be reused. They are designed to be a single use item. Once they have been picked up you will not get your dumpster bag back.

How Much Do Dumpster Rental Bags Cost?

There are two fees associated with dumpster rental bags. The first fee is for the purchase of the bag itself. Dumpster rental bags typically cost around $30. Then you will need to pay an additional fee for the dumpster bag to be picked up. The cost to have a dumpster rental bag picked up can fluctuate depending on the area you are in and the amount of weight in the dumpster rental bag. The average cost for pickup starts around $189 and up. Keep in mind the area you are in plays a role in the overall cost of the pickup.

What Are Alternatives to Dumpster Rental Bags?

Standard roll off dumpsters are a great alternative to dumpster rental bags. Roll off dumpsters have a large number of advantages over dumpster rental bags. It’s really hard for bags to compete with the benefits of a standard roll off dumpsters. We discuss the pros and cons of dumpster rental bags below.

What are Common Mistakes Made with Dumpster Rental Bags?

Water – Most people have their dumpster rental bag outside their property when they are working on projects. If it rains and the bag fills with water, there is a strong possibility that dumpster bag rental companies will not pick up the bag. There are multiple reasons a dumpster bag company would not pick up a dumpster rental bag due to water. First, the dumpster bags retain water and add a lot of weight to the overall weight of the bag. The additional weight added by the water can cause the bag to fail. It’s also important to note that other liquids can cause the dumpster rental bags to fail. (more on this below) Essentially, dumpster rental bags are not well equipped to handle any sort of liquid. Once the liquid has made it into the bag it cannot be removed easily.
Liquids – Liquids other than water can be extremely problematic for dumpster bags. Liquids are not permitted in normal roll off dumpsters, but they are made out of heavy-duty steel. They are able to withstand almost any type of liquid without being damaged. Dumpster rental bags on the other hand are technically classified as plastic bags. The thermoplastic polymers used to make the dumpster rental bags can weaken or even dissolve if they are exposed to liquids such as: Peroxide, lacquers, paints, paint thinners, glues, adhesives, sealants, caulking, gasoline, motor oil, cleaning products, nail polish, waxes and more.
Loading the Bag Inside a House or Building – When people first get their dumpster rental bag, it is light and easy to relocate to an area right next to the project you’re working on. Therefore, it’s easy to forget that the weight you put into the bag needs to be moved to an area where it can be picked up by the dumpster rental company. Many people bring dumpster rental bags inside of homes and partially load them before realizing they cannot get the partially filled bag through doorways to remove it from the home.
Overloading the Bag – Dumpster rental bags can only hold 3,000-3,300 lbs depending on the type of materials that are disposed of inside of the bag. That’s only about 1.5 tons of material. While 3,000 lbs may sound like a lot of weight, the pounds add up really quickly once a project is underway. If the dumpster bag is overfilled, it may not be able to be picked up without offloading some of the weight into a secondary bag and paying for a separate bag and pickup fee.

The same items that are not allowed in standard dumpsters are also not allowed in dumpster bags.

Oils

Lubricants

Flammables

Pesticides

Rubber Tires

Liquids

Dirt and Gravel

Hazmat

Appliances

Large Stumps

Electronics

Food Waste

Pickup Restrictions – If there is water in the dumpster rental bag it may not be picked up.
Single Use – Dumpster Rental Bags can only be used once.
