Waste Management Thinks Outside the Dumpster with New Bagster Disposal Service

June 15, 2010 - PRLog -- With the summer season upon us, many homeowners throw themselves into the arduous activity of cleaning and remodeling. To help simplify the task, Waste Management of San Diego is offering a cost-effective and innovative alternative waste removal service, the WM Bagster.  The new integrated service provides homeowners and contractors an affordable, responsible and convenient solution for their cleaning and home improvement projects.

Combining a high-capacity polypropylene bag with a flat-fee pickup and disposal service, the WM Bagster is ideal for projects too small to require a full steel dumpster. The patent-pending three cubic yard polypropylene bag, measuring eight feet long, four feet wide and two and half feet tall, can hold up to 3,300 pounds of various materials.

“WM Bagster provides a simple and convenient service for contractors or homeowners who need more than a bin but may not need a full dumpster,” said Carl Scherbaum, district manager.  “With so many homeowners tackling renovation, moving and other projects themselves, we wanted to make sure this service was as user-friendly as possible. Customers can get started on projects quickly, use the bag for as long as they want, then schedule a prompt pickup knowing we will handle their waste responsibly.”

Buy: The WM Bagster is available at a number of retail locations including Lowe’s, Home Depot, or Ace Hardware for a suggested retail price of $29.95. A full list of retail locations is available at www.thebagster.com. Customers pay for the Bagster bag at the point of purchase and can store the compact bag until needed to tackle the next big project.

Fill: Whether the need is for home renovation cleanup debris, landscape debris, green waste, construction and demolition debris or recyclables, the WM Bagster is simple to assemble and durably suited to collect most all waste products. Prohibited materials such as household hazardous waste items or liquids are not accepted. And, without the hassle of renting a large dumpster with time constraints, the project pace can be managed at the buyer’s convenience.

Gone: After placing the bag in a convenient location and filling it with construction debris, yard waste or any other non-hazardous materials, customers can schedule a convenient pickup online at www.thebagster.com or over the phone at 1-877-789-BAGS (2247) for a flat fee. Once the collection is scheduled, the Waste Management team will pick up the bag within three business days and properly dispose or recycle the contents.
