Summertime is a great time for getting household projects done. And doing it yourself can save money. But folks often get a shock when they realize what it costs to get rid of the construction debris they create. Up until now, the options have been to rent a pricey dumpster or haul the junk in inefficient smaller loads to the dump — and that costs money, too. We heard about a third new way this week. The Bagster Dumpster in a Bag is a durable, woven bag that doesn’t come with rental fees, costs just $39.95 and can be purchased from major home improvement stores, including Home Depot, Rona and Lowe’s. Once the bag is filled (up to 3,000 pounds) with wood, metal, drywall or other disposables, you call the Bagster bag pick-up line, and a truck is sent round. There is a collection fee, based on weight and location, but the company says it will typically be from 50 to 70 per cent less than a dumpster rental. Sounds like a sensible, affordable solution to dealing with the construction waste. Don’t have any waste? Then it’s clearly time to take a BiY course and make some!
