What is a Jumbo Bag?
Our jumbo bags are strong and durable bags that can hold up to 1 tonne of debris. They can be purchased online here or at our Bournemouth, Ferndown, Christchurch or Dorchester stores.
How does our Jumbo Bag Away work?
1. Buy a Jumbo Bag
The first step is to estimate how much waste you’ll be disposing of so you can order the right number of bags. Each jumbo bag holds up to 1 tonne, making them perfect for both small and large projects.
For green waste like grass clippings, leaves, or small branches, one bag is usually enough for an average garden. Larger spaces or dense vegetation may require more.
For mixed waste—including rubble, soil, furniture, or building materials—it’s best to order at least two bags to accommodate the extra volume and variety.
To make the process smoother and more eco-friendly, consider sorting waste by type into separate bags (e.g., green waste, rubble, general household items). This helps streamline disposal and can speed up collection.
Having an extra bag or two on hand ensures you're fully prepared, avoiding last-minute stress or delays.
Plan ahead, stay organized, and let us take care of the rest for a hassle-free waste removal experience!
2. Fill your Jumbo Bag
Make the most of your Jumbo Bag Away Service by following these simple steps:
Set Up Your Bag
Unfold the jumbo bag fully and fold down the sides to create a wide, stable opening. This keeps the bag upright and easier to load.Start Loading
Begin adding your garden waste—like grass clippings, leaves, and small branches. Gently compact the waste as you go to make the most of the bag’s 1-tonne capacity. Be careful not to overfill.Pick the Right Spot
Place the bag in a spot that’s easily accessible for our collection lorries, such as your front garden or driveway. This saves you from needing to move it later.Don’t Move a Filled Bag
Once you start filling the bag, avoid lifting or relocating it. A partially filled bag can be heavy and awkward to move, risking damage or injury. Always choose the final location before you begin.
By following these steps, you'll ensure a smooth, safe, and stress-free collection process—for both you and our team!

There, it undergoes composting and screening processes to be transformed into fresh compost or nutrient-rich soil. This approach ensures that organic materials are recycled efficiently and contribute to sustainable gardening and landscaping practices.
