Interesting idea. The comparison.

Bagster: $139 for 3 yards of debris.

Our dump trailer holds 10 yards of debris. Our typical dumping weight is just over 1 ton.

Cost to dump that load at the debris center: $110, typically.

Even with the 3 hours carried to attach the trailer to the truck, haul to debris center, return and disconnect back at site. It is cheaper than those bags, because you would need 3 to equal out the weight and volume.

You could pay the same money for three of those bags that you would for one 20 yard dumpster, but could only load half the weight and half the volume.

That is one heck of a marketing idea though for those not in the know.
