This is not an apples to apples comparison because a 10-yard roll off dumpster holds 3X more debris than The Bagster. But for many parts of the country, a 10 yard roll-off dumpster is the smallest temporary dumpster available to rent, so this comparison represents the real life options available to most people with a smaller disposal need.
How it Works
Buy a Bagster:
The Bagster from Waste Managment is a small, portable, 3 cubic yard bag made of tough, woven material. It’s for single use, and you must first purchase the bag. The Bagster is available at home improvement stores and online. After you fill it up, you schedule to have it picked up by Waste Management (WM).
- First, determine if Bagster pick-up is available in your area
- Purchase the Bagster from Home Depot, Lowes, or Amazon
- Set up and fill up your dumpster bag
- Schedule a collection with WM
WM’s Bagster is the most popular dumpster bag, but it’s not the only bag out there. There are a few small competitors available in limited areas, such as the Gorilla Dumpster Bag.
Placement
Bagster:
Just because the dumpster bag is small and portable doesn’t mean you can place the bag anywhere. If you place the bag in your side yard or backyard, away from truck entrance points, WM won’t be able to snag it with their truck and crane. Bagster placement is generally in your driveway or on your front lawn toward the road.
In order for Waste Management to be able to pick the bag up, there must be a minimum of 18 ft. of overhead clearance. In addition, the crane cannot extend outward beyond 16 ft. For trucks to fit, alleyways and driveways must be at least 12 ft. wide. (Note: Trucks cannot turn into a driveway from an alleyway.)
Of course, leaving a Bagster on your lawn for days or weeks will kill the grass underneath, so generally a driveway is the best option, if available.
10 yard dumpster:
Dumpster placement is generally on your driveway, parking lot, or possibly in an alley or on the street. Some cities prohibit dumpsters on the street or require a permit. Ask your dumpster service for advice.
Roll-off dumpsters are generally 8 feet wide and the trucks that pick up these containers are a similar width. If available, driveway placement is generally preferred. If placing near the garage, be sure the hauler leaves enough room for your dumpster door to swing open and your garage to be accessible. Discuss dumpster placement with your hauler.
Cost Considerations
3 cubic yard Bagster:
The Bagster bag itself costs roughly $30, and the purchase price is relatively constant throughout the country. The larger cost, however, is the cost of pick-up. WM’s price to pick up the bags varies greatly from place-to-place.
For most areas, the cost of Bagster pick-up ranges from $119 to $199 per pick-up, but cost varies significantly. On the extreme high side is New York City, where it costs $307 to pick up your first Bagster ($285.25/bag for each additional bag).
Bagster price range (including purchase and pickup): $140 to $340
