Should You Use a Bagster?

Proper solid waste disposal is critical for the sustenance of our health and to protect the environment. That is why bagster was introduced as a portable means of disposing of small residential garbage, but waste management companies offer it as a better option to the traditional dumpster rental.  Unfortunately, the use of the bagster is great theoretically, but when it comes to the real solid waste disposal, it has many disadvantages, and it is not effective.

Some people have been misinformed with the barrage of marketing promises by waste disposal companies who portray bagster as a better way to getting rid of solid wastes fast, easily and conveniently. 

The fine prints and promotions of bagster sound too good to be true, and they are not. Therefore, we developed this article to fully inform our potential customers and readers from buying or loading the bagster only to realize it’s a waste of time and money.

Here are some things to consider before choosing a bagster.

The type of waste

Before using the bagster for waste disposal, you need to understand the type of waste that is suitable for it as well as the risk, price and pick up flexibility. As a matter of fact, the bagster is a smaller sized container that was designed to hold small amounts of garbage coming from the home. It can be used when you are embarking on a DIY project like attic garage or yard clean up.

If you are into a renovation or home remodeling project that involves larger items like drywall, bricks, furniture or other construction waste, you do not need a bagster, rather, an adequately sized dumpster will be perfect for you.

Durability

You don’t have to worry about making a dent or damaging the dumpster when you are using it for the disposal of heavier and larger items because it is made of thick metal. On the other hand, you can have issues with the bagster when you use them for larger materials and you won’t have the convenience of throwing just any waste in it.

Therefore, the traditional dumpster is more durable and usable when your project generates different kinds of waste.

Placement and convenience

Waste management companies portray the bagster as the most convenient option for garbage disposal, but in reality, you need to place it on a flat ground that is accessible to a crane!

The locations accessible to cranes are the curbside, the front of your house or business which should be 5 feet away from any structure. 

Pickup flexibility

The arrangement of the delivery and pickup of your dumpster can be done with your project timeline. But that is not applicable when you choose a bagster. Picking up the bagster is just like the regular trash service which is hardly controlled by you.

It is better to rent a dumpster and schedule the pickup time than using a bagster that will be removed from your project site when you are not done with disposing of all the project wastes.

Cost

The bagster is probably costly when you consider the cost of the bag, the short time for pickup, the booking fee and other hidden charges from the waste management companies.

There is no better way to dispose of your solid waste than using the dumpster – especially when you are embarking on a remodeling, construction or spring cleanup project. Call Starr Dumpsters, whenever you need a dumpster that will fit your need and budget.
