Convenient and cost-effective, it eliminates the need for trips to the local tip. Available year-round, our team can collect the waste even if you're not at home—just leave the jumbo bags in an easily accessible location, and we’ll handle the rest.

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 in using our Jumbo Bag Away Service is determining how much waste you need to dispose of and how many bags to order. Each jumbo bag can hold up to 1 tonne of debris, making them ideal for both small and large-scale projects.

For green waste, such as grass clippings, leaves, or small branches, one jumbo bag is often sufficient for a typical domestic garden. If you’re clearing a larger space or working on a garden with denser vegetation, you might need an additional bag.

For projects involving mixed waste—such as rubble, soil, old furniture, or construction materials—it’s wise to consider the variety and volume of debris. Mixed waste often requires more space, so ordering at least two jumbo bags can ensure you have adequate capacity without running out.

Additionally, sorting waste by type (e.g., green waste, rubble, or general household waste) into separate bags can make disposal more efficient and environmentally friendly. Having extra bags on hand allows for better organization and avoids last-minute delays during your clean-up process.

By estimating the volume of your waste and planning accordingly, you can ensure a smooth and stress-free waste removal experience with our Jumbo Bag Away Service.

2. Fill your Jumbo Bag

To properly fill your jumbo bag with garden waste, follow these straightforward steps for efficiency and safety:

Prepare the Bag for Filling:
Unfold the jumbo bag and fold down all four corners to create a sturdy and stable opening. This will help keep the bag upright and make it easier to load.

Start Filling the Bag:
Gradually add your garden waste, such as grass clippings, leaves, or small branches. Compact the waste gently as you go to maximize the bag's capacity without overfilling or straining it.

Choose an Accessible Location:
Place the jumbo bag in a location that is convenient for our lorries to reach, such as a front garden or driveway. Ensuring easy access avoids the need for you to move the bag later, which is strongly discouraged.

Avoid Moving a Partially Filled Bag:
Once you begin filling the bag, do not attempt to lift or move it. This could damage the bag or cause injury due to the weight of the contents. Always select the final location for the bag before you start loading.

By following these guidelines, you’ll ensure a safe and efficient waste disposal process while making it easier for our team to collect your jumbo bag.
